Roast Turkey

Ingredients

Turkey - 1 piece
Fat - 1.4 oz
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Salt the prepared turkey and let it rest for 1 hour. Cut off the tips of the wings and drumsticks. After an hour, place the turkey on a baking sheet, pour in 100 ml of water, add the fat, and put it in the preheated oven, basting it as often as possible with the juices that form in the pan. Roast the turkey in the oven until tender, then increase the heat. To ensure the bird browns well, baste it with vegetable oil mixed with rum and fat.

Step 2

Half an hour before the roasting is finished, stop basting. A medium-sized turkey should be kept in the oven for about 2.5 hours.

Step 3

Carve the cooked turkey. Drain the fat from the pan, add a tablespoon of water, and bring to a boil. Strain the sauce through a sieve and serve separately in a sauceboat. The turkey can be served either hot or cold.
