Turkey American-style with kefir
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To make the dish flavorful and not too bland, add as many spices as possible! For preparing American-style turkey with kefir, you'll need curry (I use a spicier blend), lime leaves (dried or fresh—doesn't matter, you can even substitute with mint), coriander, garlic-ginger paste (I found it at the store—highly recommend), as well as salt and pepper. By the way, you can do without buttermilk by adding a bit more kefir. Serve hot.

First, marinate the turkey. Prepare the marinade: mix kefir, buttermilk, and one teaspoon of curry (you can use less). Mix well.

Step 3
Prepare the curry: chop the onion and garlic (not too finely). Prepare the spices. Rinse the lime leaves and cilantro. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add the remaining curry, and sauté, stirring. It should resemble tomato paste in appearance and consistency.

Then add the onion and garlic. Fry, adding olive oil if necessary to prevent burning. Dice the potatoes and tomatoes.

Step 5
Discard the marinade, as we no longer need it. Add the turkey to the pot and sauté it with the vegetables for about 10 minutes. Then add coconut milk, broth, potatoes, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, herbs, and all the spices. Mix well and simmer over low heat for 35–40 minutes.

The dish is ready when the potatoes and turkey are fully cooked. Those who like spicy food can add chili pepper at the end.

I recommend serving the ready turkey with kefir American-style with corn tortillas (or lavash) and rice.
