    Step 8.

    Serve the finished turkey in sour cream sauce hot. Before serving, sprinkle with herbs (chopped dill, parsley or green onions). If you want, prepare any side dish, for example, potatoes, pasta, rice, buckwheat.

The recipe is suitable for cooking chicken fillet.

Sour cream can be replaced with natural yogurt without additives.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. If there is salt present, take this into account when you salt the dish, otherwise you risk over-salting.

Choose white champignons, without spots, without the smell of rot, without damage. They should not be slippery to the touch.

Instead of fresh, you can take frozen or dried mushrooms (dried ones will need 5-6 times less than fresh ones). Frozen mushrooms can be defrosted in any convenient way (for example, in the microwave in the appropriate mode - see the instructions for your technique) and drain the liquid. Or, if the amount of liquid in the recipe is not critical, use without defrosting. Dried mushrooms should be washed well, since they are not washed before drying, and then soaked in cold water for at least 2-3 hours.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode in the recipe are indicated approximately. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
