Ingredients
Method

- Fry the onion, carrots and mushrooms.
- Add the tomatoes and the paupiettes.
- Cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
Nutritional benefits
Turkey provides lean protein, and the vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, tomato) bring fibre, vitamins and antioxidants. Simmered in a vegetable-rich tomato sauce rather than a cream one, these paupiettes make a balanced dish. Naturally gluten-free, to serve with rice or vegetables.
Variations and substitutions
- With veal (the traditional version).
- With white wine in the sauce.
- With olives and herbs.
- With soft, tender potatoes.
Storage and making ahead
Even better reheated; keeps for 3 days and can be frozen.
💡 Good to know
Simmer the paupiettes covered over a low heat: they stay tender and soak up the sauce.
