Turkey meat itself is lean and often turns out to be dry when roasting the whole carcass. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to marinate the bird in advance, and put pieces under the skin of the breast butter
If you managed to purchase a large turkey carcass from 6 kg and more, then you should not try to bake it whole. V living conditions making really juicy and soft meat will be difficult, since the sternum is quite dry. It is better to cut the carcass into pieces and cook others, no less interesting and delicious dishes.
If you do not like prunes or they are simply not at hand, then it can be replaced with dried apricots, raisins. The dish will acquire a slightly different taste and aroma, but no less interesting.
Recently, I've started to prefer buying turkey meat. At first I took the breast, but this part of the bird is rather dry, so I switched to the thigh. In the early 2000s, turkey thighs were one of the most inexpensive options for meat, and I bought it often, then it disappeared, and now it is on sale, but it has become at a price like good pieces of pork or beef. But I still buy it with pleasure, since the taste of turkey meat cannot be compared with chicken, it looks more like meat, or something, and for me it tastes better than pork if cooked correctly. Moreover, you can make very delicious goulash v tomato sauce, or I suggest the oven baked prune turkey. Also a little unusual and very tasty.
I cooked this dish with various additives, I will describe all the ways.
First of all, of course, you need to take the turkey thigh fillet.
Wash the meat beforehand, cut it into large pieces and marinate. For conventional cooking I just marinate with spices, salt and soy sauce with the addition of a spoon olive oil... Once I added lime juice and zest, just the version with lime in the photo. It takes about an hour to marinate the meat.
The first cooking option. Plus bell peppers and fried onions.
Finely chop the bell pepper and evenly cover the turkey meat with it.
I prefer meaty varieties.
Fry onion with spices until golden brown and sprinkle on top.
1. Turkey with prunes, bell pepper and fried onions.
The following cooking options.
When I have the gifts of the forest at hand, I bring variety.
This time there was no pepper at home, so I baked the turkey just under fried onions.
This is how it already looks ready meal.
2. Turkey with prunes, mushrooms, lingonberries and fried onions.
Lingonberries brought spice to the dish.
Another option with cheese.
You will need about such a piece. If you cook with cheese, you can do without onions.
Sprinkle with plenty of grated cheese.
And chopped bell pepper on top.
The meat gives a lot of juice, so when it's ready, I drain the juice and it can be used as a dressing for a side dish. The turkey has lean meat, so the juice is not fatty, because of the soy sauce and spices, the juice turns out delicious.
3. Turkey with prunes, bell pepper and cheese.
The best side dish for this meat is, of course, rice.
This dish is very easy to prepare and very fast.
The main two stages in the preparation of a dish.
Stage 1 - marinate the turkey meat for a short time with soy sauce. You don't need to marinate, the main thing is to add all the spices to the meat. Pickled it turns out a little softer.
Stage 2 - put the prunes evenly between the pieces of meat. It is most important.
I described the rest of the dish variations in detail.
Bake the turkey for a short time, about 50 minutes. That is, directly cooking for 15 minutes, then the stove will be the stove.
The meat turns out to be tender, non-fibrous, and I don't even know which is tastier, prunes or the meat itself. The turkey thigh is generally tender meat than the breast, although it is no longer as dietary.
I came up with the recipe myself, I advise you to try it, it's delicious.
