1. Place half the butter in a bowl. It should be soft.
2. Add soy sauce, honey, lemon juice here. Peel a small piece of ginger and grate it. Add to other products, mix. Season.
3. Cut the washed meat into portions. Transfer the bird to the spicy marinade until it coats it. Leave for one and a half hours in a cool place.

Tip: The pineapple should be fresh so that it is not too sweet. If you don’t have fresh, you should use ground red pepper: it will overcome the excessive sweetness of canned food. In this case, sugar can be excluded.

Turkey sleeve with rosemary

Turkey meat is a dietary product, and what’s best is that it’s very tasty and healthy. There are many options for preparing it, but with this recipe you will get amazingly tender juicy meat with a minimum of effort and spending a little time.

We will need the simplest set of products:

• turkey fillet (2 kg), peeled from films and skin;
• rosemary sprigs;
• soy sauce;
• olive oil;
• French herbs or other spices;
• salt and pepper (black and red).

Turkey meat for this dish can be cut not only from the breast, but also from the drumstick, rinse it thoroughly and dry it. Rub the meat with salt and pepper and spices thoroughly on all sides.

After this, add soy sauce and olive oil (2 tablespoons each). Once again, thoroughly rub all the ingredients so that the salt begins to dissolve and the meat is soaked in the fragrant mixture.

Leave to marinate for 40 minutes, after which we place the turkey in a sleeve and place sprigs of rosemary on top.

We also pour the released marinade into the sleeve, tie the ends and place the dish in the oven, preheated to 200°C for 2 – 2.5 hours.

The times indicated are approximate, it all depends on what part of the turkey you are baking, how the oven works and other individual characteristics. Therefore, watch the process and catch the right moment.

The finished dish can be served with raw chopped or grilled vegetables. The aroma is simply amazing, be sure to try it, especially since the recipe is so simple that even a beginner can handle it.

This baked fillet is also delicious served cold. A piece of cold turkey on a slice of wholemeal bread is a delicious and healthy breakfast.

Useful tips

If the bird is domestic and old, it is better to skin it. This meat will be tougher. Store-bought carcass will be much more tender, so you can leave the skin on. For the dish, it is not necessary to take the breast, because the fillet can be removed from other parts, for example, from the thighs.

You can add a little teriyaki sauce or sweet chili sauce to the soy sauce to enrich the flavor. Don’t be afraid to use a large number of different seasonings or herbs, the main thing is that the different mixtures do not contain salt. For example, suneli hops, coriander, turmeric and paprika are often used.

Juicy and tender turkey meat served for dinner is the best way to end the day. This dish can also be served at a holiday table, and cooking can be postponed until the very last moment. Bon appetit!

Step-by-step preparation

1. Wash and dry a small turkey fillet weighing 350-400 grams with a paper towel. Using a wide knife, cut the fillet into two thicknesses. This is done in order to reduce the cooking time of the meat, since a thin layer is marinated and fried much faster.

2. Place the layers of poultry meat on a cutting board, press them with the knuckles of your hand clenched into a fist on both sides.

3. Peel 4-5 cloves of garlic, crush them with the flat side of a knife, and chop finely. If desired, you can grate the garlic on a coarse grater.

4. Season the meat on both sides with ground black pepper to your taste. If desired, sprinkle the meat with your favorite seasoning or herbs.

5. Transfer turkey breast to a 1-quart food container. Sprinkle the pieces of meat on both sides with chopped garlic.

6. Pour soy sauce (120-150 ml) over the meat in the container so that it covers the pieces almost completely. Leave the meat in the sauce for 15-20 minutes.

7. Preheat electric grill to 230°C. Remove the meat from the container and remove the garlic pieces using a spatula. Use tongs to grab a piece of turkey and place it on the grill. Place the second piece of meat into the electric grill.

8. Close the lid of the kitchen appliance and fry the turkey for 2-3 minutes. If you increase the frying time, the meat may turn out dry.

Serve the meat with a side dish of mashed potatoes, rice, buckwheat, other cereals, pasta, with fresh vegetable salads or with boiled, stewed vegetables. You can make sandwiches and burgers from this meat, use it for salads and making pizza.
