How to bake the turkey in the oven up your sleeve whole? Prepare all the necessary products first. The turkey can be taken chilled or frozen, then defrost it at room temperature beforehand. Apples are better to choose large and sour-sweet, I took fragrant homemade apples. Raisins can be replaced with other dried fruits, such as dried apricots or prunes.

Peel the garlic from the husks. Rinse the raisins well under running water, you can use a colander for this. Wash the apples well too and cut into middle wedges, removing the core.

Grate the turkey well with salt with ground pepper and paprika on all sides, if you wish, you can wear gloves so that your hands do not burn. Inside, too, add a little salt and pepper.

Stuff the indoutka with chopped apples, raisins and a few garlic cloves. According to your desire, you can sew your abdomen with threads or hold it together with toothpicks, I left it as it is so that the excess fat flows out calmly during baking. Outside, make small incisions and insert the remaining garlic into them, so the poultry meat is better baked and will smell appetizing of garlic.

Wrap the turkey in a roasting sleeve, tie or use special clips, leave to marinate in heat for 2-3 hours, if you wish, you can put it in the refrigerator at night, then the turkey meat will brew even better and become more tender. Before baking, preheat the oven to 180 degrees, bake the turkey for about 2-2. 5 hour, the time will depend on the size of the bird and your oven.

Serve the finished turkey on the table hot, watering it with lemon juice or melted duck fat, it will be very juicy and tasty, you can decorate it with fresh vegetables and herbs, a pleasant appetite!
