Whole juicy turkey baked in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a juicy whole roasted turkey in the oven? Thaw the turkey, remove the giblets, rinse under water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the marinade. Finely grate the onion and add yogurt to the onion.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add wine, all spices and salt.

4. STEP 4

   

   Stir until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pull the skin away from the meat and spread the marinade evenly under the skin.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then brush the marinade evenly over the surface of the turkey. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can leave it for a day.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then remove the turkey from the refrigerator, lift the skin on the back of the carcass and use a knife to make a small longitudinal cut to create a pocket. Thread the turkey leg through the strip of skin and cross both legs. Or cross your legs and tie them with thread.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the turkey on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake the turkey in the oven for 3 hours at 180°C. Check the turkey for doneness. To do this, pierce the turkey; if light juice flows out, then it is ready; if the juice is pink, you need to keep it in the oven. Or check doneness with a thermometer; the internal temperature of the turkey should be at least 75°C.
