Turkey thigh in oven up sleeve

4 servings
4 hours

How do I bake a turkey thigh up my sleeve? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Start with the marinade. Balsamic vinegar can be replaced with a regular table 9% or apple. If you have wine vinegar, you can use it.

Wash the spring onions and cut into 3-4 parts so that it is more convenient to place them in the bowl of the blender.

Peel the ginger root and cut into arbitrary pieces.

Peel the chili peppers from the seeds and stalks and cut into pieces. With chili peppers, the marinade will turn out to be quite spicy. If you need a spiky marinade, remove the chili altogether. Or replace it with powder at the tip of the knife. So the edge will be barely noticeable.

Peel the bell peppers from the seeds and stalks and cut into medium cubes.

Peel the garlic from the husks and cut into pieces.

Put bell peppers and chilli, spring onions, garlic and ginger in the blender bowl.

Grind everything to the desired consistency. You can beat everything to a smooth, viscous mush. My pieces were crushed badly, but not to a state of uniform mashed potatoes.

Transfer the crushed vegetables to a bowl, pour in the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Stir the marinade.

Now prepare the thigh of the turkey: wash it, dry it with paper towels. I have a hip with bone but no skin. On sale, you can find hip fillet without bone and without skin. In private farms, you can get a hip with both skin and bone. Meat with skin is juicier, because the skin prevents excess evaporation of moisture, and a tasty crust appears. But with leather, turkey is difficult to find in retail chains. Mostly sold are leather-free fillets.

Rub the resulting marinade over the turkey and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours, or better overnight.

Place the pickled turkey in the roasting sleeve and tie the bag on both sides. Due to the viscosity of the marinade, it covers the surface of the turkey in a thin layer. I did not remove this layer so that the meat without skin did not dry out when baking.

Bake the turkey in the oven preheated to 200 ° C 1 about an hour. Or a little less/longer, depending on your oven. If you have meat with bone, then especially check that it is well baked near the bone. It should not be red or bright pink.

Then cut the sleeve on top and bake the meat for about 10 more minutes.

Transfer the finished turkey to a dish, slice and serve. Enjoy your meal!
