Couscous with Turkey in Cream Sauce

Ingredients

Couscous - 1 cup
Turkey - 20 oz
Sour Cream - 1 jar
Cream - 10 fl oz
Ground Cumin - 2 teaspoons
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Bouillon cube - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, prepare the turkey: cut it into small pieces, sprinkle with salt and a generous amount of black pepper. It is also advisable to add some dried basil. Add other spices to taste. Place the turkey in a deep skillet (preferably a wok). Sauté in olive oil.

Step 2

While the turkey is simmering, prepare the couscous. First, place the couscous in a bowl and rub in the olive oil, then add the cumin to the mixture. Let the couscous sit for a bit to soften and absorb the oil.

Step 3

Boil water for the couscous with one bouillon cube (either mushroom or chicken). Cook the couscous in a 1:1 ratio with water. Once the water boils, add the couscous and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly. After that, turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit.

Step 4

When the turkey is ready, pour in the jar of cream and sour cream (you can choose one). After adding, it’s better to salt to taste. Continue to simmer with the sour cream and cream. When the sauce starts to thicken, turn off the heat.
