Turkey meat with apples and prunes goes much better than chicken fillet. In the recipe, the spices are well chosen, each component complements the flavor spectrum of the dish, and does not interrupt it. The meat is tender and juicy due to the excellent marinade and fruit "pocket". It is better not to chop the garlic, but to crush it (this way its aroma will fully unfold). It will be delicious if you add a little orange juice to the marinade, and put citrus slices peeled from films into the cuts. An excellent aroma and aftertaste will be presented by lime zest and juice.

I usually serve the dish separately, sometimes with couscous (the original turkey fillet goes well with it). Rice is also delicious. The gourmet can be supplemented with crispy lettuce, iceberg, cherry tomatoes, tender avocado, seasoning the ingredients with honey and lemon dressing.

I cooked it, it turned out incredibly tasty. It's good that the recipe indicates the amount of salt and seasoning, otherwise you never know how much to lay down, so it turns out either under-salted or over-salted. And here everything is clear, and the taste of turkey is just class! Thanks a lot!

Alyona
Veronica, thanks for your feedback. I am glad that my recipe did not disappoint you))) Come back often, for the holidays I will specially lay out new original dishes.

Masha 10.11.12
Recently, I only cook the bird in my sleeve. Clean, no need to scrub the oven afterwards. I have not tried it with prunes yet, I will definitely bake it. I wanted to ask, even in the sleeve, the wings burn. What to do?

Alyona
Before placing the bird in the sleeve, wrap the wings with pieces of foil. The foil will keep them from drying out. It is very important that the oven temperature is not too high.

Alice 11/26/12
Good day,
Thanks a lot for the recipe, I cooked the turkey for the first time. The recipe did not disappoint, everything turned out to be studied.
The only carcass was pickled not overnight, but 1.5-2 hours and did not cut the sleeve half an hour before the end of cooking. I baked for 3 hours, a turkey weighing 3.2 kg, the filling was required much less than in the recipe.

Alyona

Lika 12/15/13
This is exactly the recipe I needed, I successfully visited your site. I didn't have to cook a turkey in the oven, and even with apples and prunes, I only baked chicken and goose in the oven. But on these holidays I will decisively stock up on turkey and cook this excellent dish).

Tatiana 12/23/13
O! Yummy. I want the New Year to come now, if only to put such yummy on the table as soon as possible. I will do it. The turkey has already been bought. And I will use exactly this recipe, I was specifically looking for it.

sharada 12/29/13
Thanks for the recipe, tomorrow I will marinate, the turkey is already freezing on the balcony :-) Only it is larger than in your recipe - 5.8 kg. Can you please tell me how much you need to bake? Amount of ingredients for marines. I will multiply according to the recipe, but I'm afraid I won't guess the baking time :-)

Alyona
Good turkey))) sharada, it will take 3.5-4 hours. How much exactly is hard to say, it strongly depends on the oven. Watch the temperature carefully, preferably longer, but so as not to get burnt. Pierce the turkey with a thin knitting needle to make sure it's done. If a clear liquid comes out of the hole, then it is ready, if the blood is raw. Another sign: the meat should be soft and easily come off the bones (this is clearly visible on the legs).
Good luck and happy holidays!

Irina 01.01.14
Add mustard to the marinade. It softens the meat.

Varya 01/03/14
