Step 6: prepare turkey pork in foil.


When the turkey breast is well marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and place it on the center of a long piece of food foil. We wrap the meat so that no air gets inside and later we can carefully unfold the dish, which will be baked without foil. Now we place everything on a baking sheet and put the boiled pork to cook in the oven, which is well preheated to temperature 250 °C. Bake the meat for 35 minutes.

In 10 minutes Before it’s ready, use oven mitts to take out the baking sheet and carefully unwrap the foil with a fork. This must be done so that the brisket is covered with a golden crust. Place the container back in the oven and continue cooking the dish until the allotted time is up. After this, turn off the oven, do not open its door, but leave the boiled pork there to cool to room temperature.

It is prepared similarly to a classic dish of Russian cuisine. Traditionally, a large piece of pork meat is baked, rubbed with a mixture of salt and spices. In the dietary version, we will replace pork with dietary turkey. Turkey meat is more tender, soft, and less calorie than pork. You can often find a stated recipe for preparing a turkey boiled pork dish with preliminary soaking of a piece of meat in a salty solution or marinade. Let's correct the existing misconception: this is how another delicious dish is prepared - turkey pasta. Turkey boiled pork is prepared without pre-soaking; the piece of meat is rubbed with a mixture of salt and spices, then baked in the oven or in the oven. We've sorted out the definitions. Let's get down to the specifics of cooking.

The dietary interpretation of the dish gives preference to lean poultry breast fillet, cleared of skin, fat, and veins. Turkey fillet, freed from the skin and fat layer, lacks the natural fat protection that prevents the meat juice from evaporating during cooking. To preserve the juiciness of the dietary dish, the prepared piece of turkey is wrapped in food foil, which acts as a protective shell. Baked turkey pork in foil in the oven, air fryer or slow cooker. It is more convenient to use an oven or air fryer. Food foil can be replaced with a baking sleeve. Before baking, the meat is rubbed with a mixture of salt and spices and stuffed with cloves of garlic. Salt the turkey fillet carefully. Turkey meat is salty due to its high sodium content. Spices are selected to taste, individually. My flavor set includes ground red chili pepper, black pepper, coriander grains (cilantro), cumin seeds. Turkey fillet baked in foil turns out soft, juicy and healthy. The meat is prepared without fat, maintaining valuable dietary properties.

Turkey meat is characterized by a natural saltiness due to the high content of sodium compounds. Therefore, the turkey should be slightly salted, given that spices enhance the feeling of salt.
