Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g smoked turkey slices, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 150g cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 100g plant-based cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion into thin strips for even cooking and blending of flavors. Mince the garlic finely and keep it ready for cooking.
- Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic first, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Add the peppers and mushrooms next, stirring occasionally until they soften and develop a slight caramelization.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Slices: Slide the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the smoked turkey slices. Warm and lightly brown the turkey slices to build a smoky and savory flavor. After a few minutes, mix the turkey with the vegetables for combined flavor.
- Season and Add Sauces: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce evenly over the skillet ingredients. Stir well to coat the mixture with seasonings and umami richness.
- Melt the Plant-Based Cheese: Reduce the heat slightly, sprinkle shredded plant-based cheese over the top, and cover the skillet. Let it melt for a few minutes until creamy. Optionally, sprinkle the natural gelling agent and stir gently to help bind the ingredients for better texture.
Notes
- Keep turkey slices and veggies thin for quick, even cooking and authentic texture.
- Sauté peppers and mushrooms on low to medium heat to draw out sweetness and flavor.
- Use fresh vegetables to enhance flavor and texture contrast.
- Cover the pan when melting cheese to trap heat and speed melting.
- Adjust seasonings like salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce after cooking to taste.
