Thai fricassee of turkey with rice

Steps

• 1. Cut the turkey fillet into the equal pieces (its important for all the pieces to be ready at the same time). Do not make them too small, let them be the size of a cube with 2 cm edge. Pre-soak the turkey breast in a salt solution overnight (40 g of salt per 1 liter of water) to make it juicier, so we will not add salt to the meat during the cooking process.
• 2. Peel the mushrooms from the thin skins, remove the stipes and cut each cap in half. Put them aside.
• 3. Pour some plant oil in a cold saucepan and spread out a single layer of the turkey slices on the top. Traditionally, a fricassee is a stew of white meat in white sauce, so we need to par-cook the turkey, leave it pale, not crispy. For this purpose, cook on medium heat, turning the pieces over from time to time. Add the spices during the process.
