How to make turkey fillet in soy sauce in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. I have breast fillet, and turkey thigh fillet will do just fine. Olive oil can be replaced with any odorless vegetable.

Wash turkey fillet, dry well. Cut the fillet into portions of the desired size.

Lightly beat each piece of fillet with a hammer on both sides to soften the meat fibres.

Prepare the marinade. Wash the orange, dry it. Squeeze the juice out of half the fruit. You will need 50 ml of orange juice.

In a suitable bowl, combine soy sauce, orange juice, ginger and paprika. Mix well. If salt is not enough for your taste, add a pinch, no more. Consider that soy sauce already contains salt. I didn't add salt.

To marinate the fillet, choose a suitable container. Put the turkey pieces in it, pour over the prepared marinade. It is desirable that the marinade almost completely covers the meat, so it will marinate more evenly. Leave the fillets for 30-40 minutes. If the pieces are not completely covered, turn them over a couple of times during pickling.

Place the marinade meat on a plate to make the glass liquid. In a pan, heat the olive oil. How to check if the oil warmed up well enough? Lower the wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process. Over a moderately high heat, fry the fillet until golden. This will ensure that the meat juice is preserved inside the piece, and the finished meat will be juicy.

Turn the fillet over to the other side and fry as well until rosy.

Transfer the fillet pieces to a baking dish. Pour a spoonful of marinade over each piece.

Cut the remaining orange into circles or semicircles.

Place the orange slices on the fillet.

Bake the turkey pieces in the oven preheated to 180S for 30 minutes. The cooking time may differ from that specified. Focus on the features of your oven. At the beginning of baking, you can cover the mold with foil. In the middle of cooking, remove the foil, as it evaporates, water the pieces with the remaining marinade.

Serve turkey fillet with any side dish or fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
