Turkey with walnut sauce

4 servings

50 minutes

A classic version of satsivi, which uses turkey instead of chicken (William Pokhlebkin also insisted on this version). The consistency of the sauce depends on the amount of nuts, everything else is up to you: you can fry the onion instead of boiling it, and change the composition of the herbs as you wish. This recipe belongs to the artist Sergei Tsigal.
