How to choose fresh and delicious turkey
- Good turkeys usually have a thin skin, light yellow color, firm and elastic meat, and no bruises.
- It is advisable to choose live turkeys and then slaughter them, as this ensures the freshness of the meat and makes it easy to check the quality. If buying pre-slaughtered turkey at the supermarket, pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging; choose freshly slaughtered turkeys as their meat will be fresher.
- Do not choose turkeys that have an unusual fishy smell, pale meat color, or slimy skin, as these are signs that the turkey meat has spoiled.
- You can easily check the quality of turkey meat by pressing your finger into the breast, thigh, or body of the turkey. If the meat shows signs of denting, deformity, or slickness, then it has been processed with chemicals.

Prepare the turkey and ingredients
Purchase pre-cut turkey and chop it into bite-sized pieces. To eliminate the odor, prepare a basin of water mixed with 1.5 tablespoons of salt and soak the chopped turkey for 10 minutes. After that, rinse the turkey with water and let it drain.
Simple ways to remove the smell of turkey at home- To remove the odor from the turkey, you can pound 1 piece of ginger with a little white wine, then rub it evenly over the surface of the turkey and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
- The fatty gland at the tail of the turkey also causes the odor, so when preparing, you should cut off this gland and rub it with a little salt to eliminate the smell.
- You can also use lemon to remove the odor from the turkey by rubbing a few slices of lemon with a little salt on the turkey, then rinsing it with cold water.

Stewing turkey
After marinating, place the pot on the stove, stir-fry the meat for 10 minutes until it is browned.
Then add 250 ml of filtered water, cover the pressure cooker, and cook on high heat. When you hear the “sizzle” sound from the pot, reduce to medium heat and cook for 30 minutes until the meat is tender. Finally, let the steam release for about 5 minutes, then open the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking and then turn off the heat.
