If it's the dark turkey meat, you can use it as a roast with liquid or you can grill it. I would not fry it and I am not sure about stir-frying it either - turkey meat can get tough. You need to cook it on low till it's soft.

Tell me what you are in the mood for. Flavor-wise. I will go get out my turkey-recipe booklet given out when I was a newlywed here in the mid 80s.

I also took a package of dark turkey/shwarma meat from the freezer for Purim Seuda.

I'm going to fry it up with onions with lots of spices, including garlic, cinammon, turmeric and maybe chawage teimani. Last time I made this it was a huge hit.

I make shawarma all the time.

I sautee onions and garlic, and then add chicken strips, and season it with curry, cumin, salt, pepper, and coriander. It tastes very authentic and it's one of our favorite meals.

I make a delicious Schwarma inspired chicken all the time. I use dark chicken cutlets, and I think it would probably work just as well with dark turkey. It would be too dry with chicken or turkey breast.

Schwarma Inspired Baby Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
• 1.25 - 1.5 lbs. dark chicken cutlets (boneless, skinless chicken bottoms)
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp sugar or equivalent sugar substitute
• 1 tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• Kosher salt
Preparation
Cut chicken into long strips. Place in large Ziplock bag. Set aside.
Add the rest of the ingredients, except salt, to the chicken. Zip the bag closed; shake bag very well to coat chicken evenly. Marinate chicken for 2 hours in the fridge.
Preheat oven at 475’.
While wearing disposable gloves, thread the chicken onto skewers, using 1 chicken strip per 1 skewer. Repeat until all the chicken strips have been threaded.
Place chicken skewers on a cookie sheet size aluminum pan.
Sprinkle with salt.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.

if you look in the spice isle of your grocery, you should find "schwarma spice". I cut up onions, cut chicken cutlets in thin strips. I stir fry that and add schwarma spice and curry to taste. if you like it spicier just add more schwarma spice... it takes about 10 min...
