Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a turkey with tomatoes and cheese in the oven? Prepare your ingredients. Any fillet is suitable - both from the breast and from the thigh. It is better if the meat is chilled; if frozen, defrost it according to all the rules so that it retains its juiciness.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the fillet into portions. Try to cut the meat across the grain - this will make it softer. Lightly pound each piece with a meat mallet.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the meat in a bowl, add salt, spices and soy sauce. Mix well and leave to marinate for half an hour. When adding soy sauce to a dish, it is worth considering that it has a fairly salty taste. Reduce the total amount of salt, otherwise you risk oversalting.

4. STEP 4

   

   Meanwhile, grate the cheese on a fine grater, combine it with sour cream and finely chopped dill. Choose greens according to your taste or availability.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the tomatoes into slices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with oil. Place the prepared pieces on a baking sheet and place tomato slices on each piece.

7. STEP 7

   

   Top the pieces evenly with the cheese mixture. Add a little liquid (water or broth) to the baking sheet. Bake the turkey in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40 minutes until golden brown.

   Serve the finished turkey with any side dish. Bon appetit!
