Easy to do, isn't it?
And it's one of the most economical dishes I know for special occasions. Not to mention that we enjoy each time.
I serve it as a main dish with sautéed potatoes. It's a hot, family-friendly dish that's easy to make and really inexpensive.
- So that my meat retains all its softness, I baste it with its juice regularly. However, I favor the beginning of cooking, because the surface of its flesh is not yet caramelized and will better absorb the juice.
- Did you know that the oven should not be preheated to cook white meats? They thus retain all their softness.
The little extra is that this recipe gives me time to enjoy my guests.
- You can even make it in the evening as a single dish, because it does not require much preparation. Plus, white meat is healthy for the whole family! And it's a treat for young and old.
As a cutlet, in a stir-fry or even in a fillet, turkey is one of the easiest and most economical forms of poultry to cook on a daily basis.
