How to make turkey thigh fillet baked in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You will need turkey hip fillet without bone. If necessary, defrost the meat by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in advance. When it thaws, rinse it, dry with paper towels, if available, cut the skin.

In a bowl, mix the sour cream of any fat content (tablespoon with a slide) and the ready-made mustard. Salt, pepper to taste. Peel the garlic cloves from the husks and slice into thin plates. Sour cream can be replaced with cream, natural yogurt without additives.

Take any heat-resistant shape with high sides. I have ceramic, but glass, metal will do. Lightly grease it with refined vegetable oil. If you have a silicone form, you do not need to additionally lubricate it with fat, the meat will not burn. Transfer the turkey fillet. Coat it on all sides with a mixture of sour cream and mustard.

Spread the chopped garlic evenly over the meat. Cover the tin with a lid made of food foil. Put in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour (or even better all night). The longer the meat is marinated, the softer and tastier it will be.

Preheat the oven to 10-15 degrees in advance (180 minutes before cooking starts). Bake the minced turkey thigh fillet for 1 hour or more. The longer the meat is in the oven under the lid, the juicier and more delicate it will turn out. Since the ovens bake differently for everyone, the time and temperature may vary. Focus on the features of your technique. How to check readiness? If it is easily pierced by a knife and clear juice flows out, then it is ready.

Remove the foil and cook the turkey for a further 10 minutes to make its top brown. Serve the finished meat hot. Boiled potatoes, rice, vegetables are suitable for the side dish. When chilled, the meat is perfect as a cut. It goes well with red wine.
