Yet another delicious Christmas bird recipe shared by Hotel Equatorial Kuala Lumpur; this time its turkey – the all time favourite Christmas main course.  It seems that as long as you have a turkey dish in the middle of the table during Christmas dinner, the rest of the food doesn’t really matter (or is it not so?)!  Lol!  Ok, it does matter if you want to feel more Christmas-ty

Pan Fried Turkey with Fresh Thyme has a local touch with all ingredients easily available.  Marinades used in this turkey recipe include chicken powder, egg white, corn flour and Chinese wine.  Marinate slices of turkey breast with these ingredients for 30 minutes.  Then pan fry them with some fats.  Top them with a special sauce (recipe included).

This turkey recipe is a good choice for those who are unable to cook whole turkey (oven or pot not big enough) since it uses turkey breast; and those who are catering for small group for dinner.

Some might say, hello Christmas is over…yeah, I know but loath not to share such good Christmas recipe with you guys.  Any homemade dish can be eaten any day of the year .  You may want to cook this recipe for Chinese New Year so why wait for another Christmas?  Let’s try it out.
