Turkey with rice
Description
Turkey with rice and vegetables in a skillet is a perfect option for a family dinner. Tender lean meat combined with fragrant rice and vegetables makes this dish incredibly delicious. It's important to note that spices play a huge role—don't skimp on them, and always use high-quality herbs. Only then will you achieve a truly rich flavor. Besides carrots, onion, and tomatoes, you can also add leek, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Feel free to experiment, while I share the classic version.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I always buy natural spices in bulk at the market for making this dish, as those sold in packets don't have the same aroma and don't deliver the desired flavor.

Cut the tomatoes into 6 pieces. Do not use too many tomatoes, as they should only add a slight tanginess to the dish.

Sear the meat until golden brown. Add carrots, onion, salt, and pepper, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Then pour water into the pan, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add tomatoes at the end.
