How to bake a turkey shin in the oven? Prepare the products according to the list. I take the turkey shin fresh, the size and weight of the turkey can vary, so you can take one shin with the specified weight, or you can take very small two. I take Russian mustard, dry spices for poultry, salt approximately one teaspoon, but in any case, first of all, focus on your taste. Black ground pepper can also be added to taste.

Turkey shin should be fresh, natural color and without unpleasant smell. If frozen shin is used during cooking, then it should be thawed naturally, if there is no time for this, then you can use a microwave. This recipe is also suitable if you use a bone-free turkey shin. Rinse the lower leg under running cold water, dry with a paper or regular towel and put it in a deep tray or tin.

Carefully spread the turkey shin on all sides with salt and mustard so that it is completely covered with them. If the turkey is more than the specified weight, then you can take more mustard. Mustard makes turkey meat very juicy. Cover the lower leg with film and put it in a cool place to marinate for 2 hours. The bigger the turkey, the longer it should marinate.

Two hours later, rub the turkey shin with dry spices so that they completely cover the entire shin. Spices here you can take any you like, you can use garlic, dry or fresh aromatic herbs - thyme, rosemary. Wrap the shin in foil and place in a baking dish. Bake the turkey shin in the oven in foil at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. Clear juice comes from the finished shin when pierced with a sharp knife.

Remove the finished shin from the oven, carefully expand and put on a large dish. With a sharp knife, cut thin pieces from the edges of the lower leg and serve. Pasta, boiled rice and buckwheat, vegetables are suitable as a side dish for this meat. Enjoy your meal!
