Ingredients

  • Spice Mix:
  • A blend of 2 teaspoons of fragrant paprika, 1 teaspoon of earthy ground cumin, a pinch of salt, and a dash of ground black pepper.
  • Tagine:
  • For the aromatic tagine, prepare slices of a generous-sized onion, a large potato meticulously peeled and cut into thin 1/8-inch slices, two medium carrots carefully peeled and sliced into thin rounds, small zucchinis sliced thinly, a large green bell pepper sliced neatly, three medium tomatoes chopped, three cloves of garlic minced, tender chunks of 3/4 pound turkey breast, and drizzle with a mix of 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and a tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 1

Blend paprika, cumin, pepper, and salt in a small bowl to create a flavorful spice mix.

Step 2

Begin by layering half of the onion slices at the base of a 10-inch skillet. Next, carefully arrange potato slices in a single layer on top, slightly overlapping if necessary. Follow this with layers of carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Sprinkle the garlic evenly over the tomatoes. Gently place the turkey chunks on the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly spaced across the dish. Generously sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the turkey, then layer the remaining onion slices on top. Finish by drizzling vegetable oil over the entire dish.

Step 3

Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the turkey is thoroughly cooked and the top layer of onions turns soft and translucent, approximately 40 minutes. After cooking, allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Just before serving, drizzle a touch of olive oil for added flavor.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize mason jars to store leftover cooked turkey. Mason jars are not only aesthetically pleasing but also keep the turkey moist and prevent it from absorbing other food odors in the fridge.
  2. 2. Freeze any unused portions of the tagine in reusable silicone freezer bags. This is a convenient way to portion out individual servings for quick and easy reheating later on.
