Baharat Turkey Bowl
Bahārāt is a super aromatic middle eastern inspired spice blend used in the same way a garam masala blend would be used in India. It isn’t spicy but you could certainly use ½ hot paprika if you wanted it spicy. This spice blend will keep for several months in a tightly sealed jar in your pantry. We also sell it in pre-blended packages in store at Well Seasoned.
Ingredients for Baharat:
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper*
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin*
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander*
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves*
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom*
- 1½ tablespoons sweet paprika*
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon*
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg*
Ingredients for the turkey:
- 3 tbsp Well Seasoned Olive Oil
- 1 medium sized cooking onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ tsp Baharat seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- 1 small handful of freshly chopped cilantro
Tahini Dressing:
- 1/3 cup tahini
- The juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 1 tbsp honey
- Kosher salt*
- *Available from Well Seasoned
Instructions for Turkey Bowl:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil & add the onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the garlic and the Baharat, sauté for about a minute to release the oils and aromas from the spices.
- Add the turkey and break it up as it browns. Cook for about 10 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and nicely browned.
- Stir in the pine nuts & cilantro, remove from the heat and taste to adjust seasoning as required.
Instructions for Tahini Dressing:
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the tahini, lemon juice & honey. Whisk to combine.
- Add a bit of water if necessary, to make the dressing creamy and pourable. The mixture may seize up and thicken at first, but continue adding water a little at a time and whisking until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavour as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or honey for sweetness.
- Serve the spiced turkey over steamed brown basmati rice, generously drizzled with the Tahini dressing, sprinkled with pine nuts & more cilantro.
