A turkey in sour cream - tips and tricks from experienced chefs
- The turkey must be removed from the refrigerator at least two hours before the start of cooking. Room temperature turkey meat is juicy and soft.
- If you do not have time to marinate the meat, mix the sour cream with salt and spices, and only then pour turkey with this mixture.
- It is best to use 20% sour cream, but if you do not have one, a product with any percentage of fat content will do.
- Instead of a marinade, you can make a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary and salt. Grate turkey meat and leave it for a few hours.
