Turkey itself is considered a dietary, hypoallergenic and healthy product. It is not for nothing that it is allowed to be included in the menu of pregnant, nursing mothers and children. However, there are harmful and useful ways to prepare any product. In this case, the dish turns out to be as useful as possible, thanks to both the product itself and the cooking method – stewing in sour cream. And the cooking process is so simple that even a novice hostess can cope with it.

So that during the stewing process the sour cream does not curdle and does not delaminate, pre-mix it with a spoonful of flour in a separate bowl, and then add to the pan. You can replace sour cream with cream of any fat content. But remember, the calorie content of the dish depends on the percentage of fat content of the sour cream or cream you use.

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.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! 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.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
