Ana’s Portuguese-style Roast Turkey
The perfect ana’s portuguese-style roast turkey recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 3800 g Baby turkey
- Sea-Salt
- 250 g Diced bacon
- Margarine
- 3 Oranges / oranges
- 150 ml Port red
- Wash the turkey with cold water and allow to drain, if necessary dab with a kitchen towel. Then place the turkey in a large baking dish / roaster.
- The turkey is salted on all sides and then rub in the salt.
- Next, place the turkey breast up in the dish and top it with the pork belly. Now you can spread a few small flakes of margarine on it.
- Squeeze the three oranges and carefully pour the juice over the turkey. Then it can already be put in the oven at 150-160 ° C convection. Depending on the weight for 3-4 hours.
- As soon as the bacon is lightly browned on the turkey breast, distribute it into the stock. As soon as the turkey breast begins to take on color, a good dash of port wine is poured over it. Then pour the juice over the turkey over and over again.
- When the turkey breast is browned, it can be turned so that the other side is also browned. Once the back is tanned, flip it again.
- As soon as the turkey is well browned and cooked, it would be done by then. Now you can divide it and put it in the mold and cover it with aluminum foil, or without it (if there is enough brew and to brown it), keep it warm in the oven until serving, or serve whole. Personally, I do the first variant. 😉
- We don’t thicken the delicious brew, but leave it natural, but everyone can decide for themselves according to their taste. Fresh spaetzle or croquettes with red cabbage go well with it.
- Bon appetit!
