Ingredients

  • 1 liter water
  • 1 lb turkey breast (skinless)
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 lb bulgur
  • cinnamon
  • sesame
  • sugar (optional)
  • ghee (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Place turkey, onion and salt in a pot. Lower heat and cook until turkey is done (about 1 hour). If juices evaporate before turkey is done, add 1/4 cup water. When turkey is cooked, remove from the pot and mash with a potato masher.
  2. 2
    Add water to the bulgur to barely cover it (1 litr is enough), then bring to a boil.
  3. 3
    Stir occasionally, to prevent the formation of a crust on the bottom of the pan.
  4. 4
    In a food processor, mash bulgur into a soft paste and set aside.
  5. 5
    Return turkey and bulgur to the pot, mix well and cook over low heat for 2 hours. Then add butter, sugar and sesame.
  6. 6
    Serve it in a bowl, sprinkled with cinnamon.
