Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake turkey fillet in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is advisable to use large breast fillets in one piece, preferably chilled. When using a pre-made turkey spice mix, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt and pepper, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting and peppering the dish.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the turkey fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the meat on all sides with poultry spices, paprika, salt and pepper. Leave to marinate for 20 minutes. If you wish, you can make deep punctures with a knife over the entire area of the meat.

Step 3

Step 3
Now prepare everything for the marinade. It is better to use sour cream with a fat content of 20-25% so that the marinade is not very liquid and does not drip off the fillet. Honey for the marinade needs to be liquid; it combines more easily with all the ingredients. If your honey is candied, melt it in the microwave or in a water bath and cool at room temperature.

Step 4

Step 4
In a bowl, mix sour cream, honey, Russian and French mustard and pressed garlic. Mix everything well. You can replace fresh garlic with 1-2 tsp. dry garlic powder.
