A golden take on Turkey Ragu, built on za'atar and finished the way we like it. Ready in about 50 min and easily enough for 6 people.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the za'atar elements, and pat the turkey dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the turkey. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.
Stir in the pomegranate molasses and the rest of the za'atar flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
