Bariis with Spiced Turkey and Pears

Cook your bariis or pasta according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the turkey pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. (Don't overcrowd the pan - the meat needs space to brown properly, not steam.)

Add the diced pears, walnuts, cranberries, and sage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in the sherry and let it bubble for 30 seconds, then add the chicken stock. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Let the mixture simmer until the liquid reduces slightly and everything is heated through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve the spiced turkey mixture over the bariis or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley.
