The process of forming a dish
A turkey with potatoes in the oven can be cooked in many ways. Someone bakes such a meal using culinary foil, while someone prefers to make it in a special roasting pan. We decided to apply the second option, since in this case the dish will turn out to be rich and with a small amount of broth. To do this, you need to take a large ceramic dish with a lid, put all processed vegetables on its bottom, and gently place the marinated turkey fillet on top. Next, the meat ingredient must be covered with a layer of tomatoes, cut into thin circles, and pour in thick kefir.
Oven heat treatment
After the dishes are filled with all necessary components, they should be closed and put in the oven. Such a dinner should be baked for at least half an hour. Its readiness can be determined not only by the softness of the meat ingredient and vegetables, but also by the aroma that will spread throughout the house more and more intensively.
How to serve a hearty meal for dinner
Baked turkey fillet with potatoes is presented for lunch or dinner only in a hot condition. After the dish with the fragrant broth is completely ready, it must be laid out on the plates with a large spoon. If desired, vegetables and meat can be sprinkled with chopped herbs or topped with tomato sauce. It is also recommended to bring fresh rye or wheat bread to this dinner. Enjoy your meal!
