So, today we bake turkey fillet in the oven. Despite the fact that this dish is prepared quite simply and no supernatural requirements are presented to it, it turns out to be very satisfying, with a dizzying aroma and pleasant taste. But you yourself will be able to evaluate them very soon, but for now we’ll figure out what ingredients we need.
If we bake
turkey fillets
in the oven and we have about 1 kg of poultry meat at our disposal, we will need additional ingredients in the following proportions:
- water (about two liters);
- salt (approximately 2 tablespoons);
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander;
- 2 teaspoons dried basil;
- 2 tsp oregano;
- paprika (2 teaspoons);
- coriander in grains (2 tsp);
- two to three tooth. garlic
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- a teaspoon of finished mustard;
- as well as hot peppers on the tip of a knife.
Now let's move on to the most interesting - how to cook a baked turkey fillet. The recipes that we will consider today, by the way, can also be used for cooking pork, beef and some other types of meat.
The first step is to dissolve the salt in water, and then dip the turkey, previously washed and dried, into it. It should remain in the water for at least two hours - this will allow the meat to salt out.
At this time, you can prepare a mixture with which we will coat the turkey. We mix all dry ingredients with oil and mustard - you will get an unusually aromatic spicy mass.
We take out the salted fillet, rinse it under water and dry it with a towel. Next, you need to stuff the bird with garlic (since we bake the turkey in the oven, this will make it even more appetizing and tasty). Therefore, it is best to cut the garlic into thin slices, carefully make thin cuts in the meat and put the garlic inside.
So, we are close to the final stage. The pan or baking sheet should be lined with special foil, lay the bird on it and grease it with a mixture of spices prepared in advance. It is desirable that it be distributed evenly.
While you are preparing food, preheat the oven to maximum temperature. We put our dish in it and bake turkey fillet in the oven for 15 minutes. During this time, it will not be ready completely, but then you should reduce the cooking temperature to 250 degrees and continue cooking for another half hour. After that, you should try the turkey fillet: how much to bake it often depends on the quality and age of the meat, and therefore in different cases you may need an unequal amount of time. The average baking time is about 45-50 minutes.
If we bake turkey fillet in the oven in this way, then you can use it both in hot and in cold form. You can serve a dish with various sauces - spicy, creamy, mayonnaise, etc. Baked poultry is an ideal option for those who want to pleasantly surprise their households or wish to spend a minimum time setting the table for guests.
