Navy-style green beans

Green bean a la sailor is a simple yet hearty dish of Russian cuisine that perfectly conveys the spirit of sailors and their diet. Historically, the naval diet was limited to available and nutritious ingredients, and beans with meat became a successful combination for sustaining energy during long voyages. The tender turkey mince combined with green beans creates a soft, juicy texture, while spices add depth of flavor. The ease of preparation makes this dish convenient for everyday lunch or dinner. It pairs wonderfully with a side of potatoes or grains and can also serve as a complete meal on its own. Rich in protein and fiber, this recipe is suitable for those who watch their nutrition and appreciate simplicity in cooking.
