Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make turkey with eggplant? First of all, prepare all the products listed on the list. For the recipe, I used the turkey thigh, but you can also take the breast.
Step 2:
Prepare the eggplant. Rinse the blue ones under running water, cut off the tails. Cut into small cubes or semicircles. Sprinkle with salt, stir and leave for 15-20 minutes. This way you will remove the bitterness.
Step 3:
Cut the bone from the turkey thigh and remove the skin. Rinse and dry the pulp. Cut the meat into small pieces of the same size.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into large cubes.
Step 5:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion until transparent. Fish the onion with a spoon into a separate plate. At the same time, leave the oil in the frying pan. Alternatively, the onion can be sauteed in a separate vessel. And for the preparation of the remaining components, use a second frying pan.
Step 6:
Rinse the eggplants from salt and squeeze out excess liquid. Send it to the frying pan in which the onion was fried. Stir and cook over moderate heat until tender. Put the fried pieces on a napkin to get rid of excess fat.
Step 7:
Send the meat to the frying pan. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes (until the turkey is fully cooked). After a while, open the lid of the frying pan and check if the pieces do not burn. If necessary, add a little water (30-40 ml.). At the end of cooking, open the lid, increase the flame slightly and bring the pieces to a ruddy state.
Step 8:
Send fried onions and eggplants to the turkey. Add salt to taste, suneli hops and paprika. At this stage, you can use your favorite spices. Mix it up.
Step 9:
Send sour cream to the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring.
Step 10:
At the end of cooking, sprinkle the meat with chopped herbs and ground black pepper.
Step 11:
Done! Serve hot.
Bon appetit!
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Turkey can be replaced with chicken or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
How to remove the bitterness from eggplant? Cut the eggplant into plates, circles or cubes, add salt, leave for about 10 minutes until the juice is released. Drain the resulting liquid, rinse the eggplants and start cooking.
Note that in some cases there is no need to remove the bitterness from the eggplants - usually young vegetables are not bitter, as well as some special varieties of them.
