Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Finely chop the turkey, apple, and onion. Mix the saffron with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 teaspoons of apple juice and set aside. Brown the turkey cubes in hot fat, remove from the pan, and set aside. Briefly fry the apple pieces and diced onion in the same fat in the pan, deglaze with the apple juice. Add the ground almonds. Add the turkey and saffron mixture and braise briefly, then stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Carefully add a little cinnamon and turmeric. Stir through and simmer for 5 minutes, thinning with a little water if necessary. Just before serving, add some finely chopped spring onions or parsley and simmer for 30 seconds. Tastes delicious with rice, spaetzle, and a green salad. This delicious recipe is an interpretation of Persian walnut pomegranate chicken. You could also say it’s a Germanized version, or simply inspired by it.
