How to bake a turkey in French with potatoes

Another successful way to cook meat in French is to bake a turkey dish with potatoes. This appetizer turns out to be very tender, satisfying and aromatic. It can feed not just hungry household members, but an entire company of soldiers.

We pound and marinate the turkey in spices

Before slicing, we traditionally pound the turkey, then cut it into small pieces.

It is advisable to place the meat in a bag before beating so that splashes do not scatter throughout the kitchen.

Salt and pepper the chopped turkey, sprinkle with your favorite aromatic spices and chopped garlic.
Mix everything thoroughly by hand and leave the meat to soak in the spices for 5-10 minutes.

Preparing the baking dish

While the meat is soaking in aromas, rub the baking dish with a clove of garlic and only then grease it with butter. This action will help significantly improve the taste of the dish.

Layer the chopped ingredients

Place the meat in the first layer in a greased form, sprinkle it with chopped green onions on top.
Next, prepare the potatoes for cooking: peel the root vegetable, wash it, and cut it into thin slices. Afterwards, salt and pepper the potato slices, season with aromatic spices and place in a mold, on top of the turkey, in a thick, even layer.
The next layer is cream. To begin with, we lightly salt them (put literally 1 pinch), dilute them with spices, stir with a spoon and pour into a baking dish. Cream will make the French dish truly appetizing, giving it a pleasant creamy flavor.
The final layer of a delicious French dish is cheese. We grate it and sprinkle it on a layer of potatoes.
