Turkey Tagine by Youssef

Ingredients

• Spice Mix:
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Tagine:
• 1 large onion, cut into 1/8-inch slices
• 1 large potato, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
• 2 small zucchini, cut into 1/8-inch slices
• 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch slices
• 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ pound turkey breast, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Combine the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to create your spice blend. Spread half of the onion slices evenly over the bottom of a 10-inch skillet. On top of that, layer the potato slices in a single layer, overlapping them if needed. Then add the carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomatoes in layers, sprinkling the garlic over the tomatoes. Arrange the turkey chunks on top, spacing them out evenly across the skillet. Sprinkle the spice mix over the turkey, add the rest of the onion slices on top, and drizzle with a bit of vegetable oil. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the turkey is cooked through and the onions on top are soft and translucent, which should take about 40 minutes. Take off the lid and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Just before you dig in, drizzle some olive oil over the dish for a nice finish.
