Turkey Giouvetsi

Ingredients

• 4–5 portions of turkey
• 200 g orzo pasta
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 50 g wine
• 3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Salt
• Pepper
• Sweet paprika
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the turkey pieces until browned on all sides. Remove the turkey and set aside in a bowl.
2. In the same oil, sauté the onion and garlic. Return the turkey to the pot and add the wine.
3. Next, add the tomatoes, cinnamon stick, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika. Cover the ingredients with water, close the lid, and simmer over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until the turkey is tender.
4. When the turkey is tender, open the pot, add the orzo, and stir well to prevent sticking. If needed, add a bit of hot water to maintain a gentle simmer, and continue cooking for about 15 more minutes, until the orzo is fully cooked.
