Sauerkraut and meat



Some have a sweet tooth, I have a sour one. So, any recipe that includes, or could include, sauerkraut is tried in my household.

Below is my recent invention of a more or less edible meal that is easy to cook and warms up the house on a cold winter day. If you do not like the sour taste, this meal is not for you. However, if you love sauerkraut and you do eat meat, then you should try the recipe and even reinvent the combination of spices according to your preferences. I used ground turkey, but you could use any other meat.

Sauerkraut and ground turkey

Ingredients:

1 or 2 cans sauerkraut (27 oz)
2-3 pounds of ground meat (I used lean turkey)
1 large sweet onion, thinly chopped
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
spices: black pepper, salt, paprika, hot pepper flakes

Directions:
Heat the oil in a frying pan and soften the onion. Add the meat and crumble it until it is evenly brown (there should be no pink color left). Add the spices and mix well. Prepare a roasting pan with non-stick spray. In the pan, mix the meat with the sauerkraut. If you like the dish more sour, then use two cans of sauerkraut; otherwise, use just one. If you end up using two cans of sauerkraut, pour 2-3 cups of water, cover with foil and roast at 400F for an hour. The next 15 minutes of baking, remove the foil and continue cooking. If you use only one can of sauerkraut, use less water and shorten the baking time.
