Ingredients
- an onion
- a thick slice of butter
- a small carrot
- a rib of celery
- all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
- soft, pitted prunes 7 ounces (200g)
- a few sprig of thyme
- bay leaves 2
- dry Marsala scant 1 cup (200ml)
- light stock or, at a push, water 2 cups (500ml)
- a little butter
- turkey steaks 4, about 4 ounces (125g) each
- a few leaves of thyme
Method
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
- Put it in a pan with the butter over medium heat and let it soften.
- Scrub and dice the carrot and celery and add to the onion.
- Let the vegetables cook until soft and lightly colored.
- Stir in the flour and let it turn pale golden, then chop the prunes and add them with the thyme and the bay leaves.
- Immediately pour in the Marsala and stock.
- Decrease the heat to a simmer and let bubble quietly for twenty minutes.
- To prepare the turkey steaks, melt the butter in a large, shallow pan.
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and the thyme leaves (dont skip the thyme).
- When the butter sizzles, lay the steaks in the pan and let them color on the underside before turning them over and continuing over gentle heat until tender.
- They should take about eight minutes, depending on their thickness.
- Remove to warm plates and serve with the hot prune sauce and the red cabbage that precedes.
