How to make turkey in creamy sauce in a pan? Very fast and simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. What parts of turkey are right for this dish? It can be tender low-fat fillet from the breast, fatter meat from the hips. I have a delicate tenderloin. You can take any vegetable oil. I have sunflower. In addition to these spices, you can add your own to taste.

Wash the fillet and dry with paper towels. Cut into not very large bars.

Salt the turkey, pepper and sprinkle with dried herbs. I used Italian herbs from the mill. But you can pick up other herbs to your liking. Since I already had herbs with sea salt, I did not add additional salt to the meat so as not to salt it.

Pour starch into the meat and mix thoroughly so that all the pieces on all sides are breaded. Leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes. Instead of cornstarch, you can take potato, but it needs about half as much, as it thickens more. You can also use wheat flour instead of starch.

While the meat is marinating, grate the cheese on a medium or coarse grater. Cheese can take any, even soft, type of melted. I have an ordinary Russian.

Wash dill and parsley, shake off moisture and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, green onions or use a mixture of different herbs.

In a frying pan over high heat, heat the vegetable oil and fry the turkey on all sides until golden. At the end, reduce the heat to a small one. This is necessary so that the cream does not curl up from the high temperature and do not go cereal. Pour the cold cream into the pan and stir.

Simmer the turkey under the lid for 20-30 minutes until tender. The exact time of simmering depends on the turkey part chosen, the size of the meat pieces and the degree of heating. Thanks to the starch, the sauce will thicken. If you want a more liquid and fluid sauce, you can increase the amount of cream or dilute the sauce with milk. I don't advise you to remove starch at all - meat is tastier with it.

Add the grated cheese to the turkey and stir. The cheese will melt almost immediately and mix with the sauce. Sink it all together for 1-2 minutes.

At the end, sprinkle the turkey in the creamy sauce with the chopped greens and serve. Enjoy your meal!
