Ingredients
  1. 1 liter water
  2. 1 lb turkey breast (skinless)
  3. 1 large onion (sliced)
  4. 1/2 lb bulgur
  5. cinnamon
  6. sesame
  7. sugar (optional)
  8. ghee (optional)
Method
  • 1Place turkey, onion and salt in a pot. Lower heat and cook until turkey is done (about 1 hour). If juices evaporate before turkey is done, add 1/4 cup water. When turkey is cooked, remove from the pot and mash with a potato masher.
  • 2Add water to the bulgur to barely cover it (1 litr is enough), then bring to a boil.
  • 3Stir occasionally, to prevent the formation of a crust on the bottom of the pan.
  • 4In a food processor, mash bulgur into a soft paste and set aside.
  • 5Return turkey and bulgur to the pot, mix well and cook over low heat for 2 hours. Then add butter, sugar and sesame.
  • 6Serve it in a bowl, sprinkled with cinnamon.

Awful recipe. You need MUCH more water than stated so I ended up filling the entire (huge) pot full of water. The meat lost its ‘shredy’ quality due to mashing it and the husk of the wheat never broke down after the two hours of cooking. I’m throwing out this batch and trying another recipe.

Iranian Haleem usually uses beef or lamb, (but can use chicken or turkey, any meat). Must add some salt while cooking to keep from tasting flat! Great served with butter, sugar and cinnamon on top! Also, to the person asking about making it crispy and spicy: Haleem is a porridge, (like oatmeal but tastier), it's not meant to be spicy, (aside from cinnamon and salt/sugar), and definitely Never meant to be crispy!!! If you want spicy heat/crispy make something else! 🤨
