- To prepare a delicious and tender turkey fillet, first prepare the meat. Take the poultry fillet and rinse under warm running water.

Cut the turkey into pieces 3-4 centimeters thick. Place the chopped fillets in a separate bowl and set aside.

Remove the meat marinated in salt water from the refrigerator. Remove it from the dish and dry it with a kitchen towel or paper napkins. Make small cuts or indentations on each piece and insert garlic slices into them.
Take a baking sheet, grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil and cover it with food foil. One side of the foil should extend far beyond the edge of the baking sheet so that you can then cover the meat on top. There is no need to grease the foil itself with oil. Place chopped turkey breast on top. Coat each piece with spices, generously coating all sides. Then cover the meat with the remaining foil.
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees, place a baking sheet with meat in it. Roast the turkey for 20-25 minutes. Next, turn off the oven, but do not remove the turkey from it. Leave the pan with the meat in the switched off oven for 2 hours. During this time, the meat will fully cook and become tender and juicy. Once the time is up, remove the turkey from the oven.

Unfortunately, our housewives, due to a huge number of stereotypes, prefer other types of meat. Perhaps the only drawback when cooking turkey meat (although this is a controversial issue) is its large size. But this is more of a stage that needs to be overcome in order to prepare an appetizing dish, rather than a reason why you should give preference to another type of meat. Nowadays you can buy a turkey in any supermarket, and related products can be found in the kitchen of any self-respecting housewife. turkeys are distinguished by their simplicity and unpretentiousness, they do not take much effort and time, and the resulting result will exceed the expectations of even the most demanding people!
Roast turkey in a frying pan
There are a large number of opinions that turkey meat is very dry, it is difficult to cook, and you cannot boast of a wide variety of dishes, and the result may be generally questionable. In fact, this is not so; if you have certain culinary skills and have a recipe in front of you, you can simply prepare a masterpiece.
First, it's best to roast the turkey on its own without adding any other ingredients. An exception to this rule would be recipes that require subsequent stewing. In this case, a crispy crust will not work, although the taste will be very pleasant and unforgettable.
It is preferable to buy the idea chilled, since otherwise its taste will not be so pronounced. And when defrosting, a significant amount of useful substances loses their properties. It is best to stew the turkey when its temperature is equal to room temperature, in which case the meat will not lose its juiciness. The heavier the turkey, the longer it will take to defrost. It is best to buy turkey two days before cooking; you must first rinse it under running water, wipe it dry outside and inside, cover it with foil and put it in the refrigerator. Since homemade turkey is quite fatty, it is not recommended to add oil (olive or sunflower) when cooking it.
