Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a turkey leg steak in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Step 2
For the marinade, combine soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice in a deep bowl. Mix everything.

Step 3

Step 3
Add basil, Provençal herbs, and salt to the marinade. Add salt carefully, because soy sauce already has a certain degree of saltiness.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the turkey steaks, dry them and place them in a bowl with the marinade, thoroughly coating the meat with it. Marinating time is from 2 to 5 hours. The longer the steaks are marinated, the softer they will be and their flavor will be richer. If necessary, you can turn the steaks over during marinating so that they are soaked on all sides.

Step 5

Step 5
Remove the marinated steaks from the marinade and allow the liquid to drain from them. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. For information on how to choose a frying pan, as well as how to choose oil, read the separate articles following the links at the end of the recipe. Fry the steaks in hot oil on both sides until golden brown. You need to fry quickly and over high heat, so the crust will form faster. It will prevent meat juices from leaking out, making the steaks more juicy.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the fried steaks in a baking dish along with the marinade. The top of the pan can be covered with foil. Read about how to choose the right baking dish in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

Step 7

Step 7
Cook steaks at 190 degrees for about 45 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. Read about the operating features of ovens in the article at the link at the end of the recipe. 10 minutes before cooking, remove the foil to allow the steaks to brown. Serve turkey steaks hot, sprinkled with finely chopped herbs. Cereals, potatoes or pasta are suitable as a side dish. Steak goes well with a salad of fresh vegetables and herbs. Bon appetit!
