Description
The stuffed turkey is a classic of Christmas tables. Although initially popular in English-speaking countries, this recipe is increasingly used in Italian menus.
The stuffed turkey is a sumptuous preparation that presents well on the festive table or for a special occasion or important celebration. The rich and full-bodied taste of the turkey pairs perfectly with the sweetness of apples and dried plums: the final result will be balanced and simply delicious.
It is very important to cook the stuffed turkey for a long time, so that both the meat of the turkey itself and the stuffing inside can cook for the necessary time without being lumpy or dry.
Here is the ultimate recipe for Stuffed Turkey.
Procedure
1
Wash the AIA Dindarella Turkey, dry it and brush it inside and out with a brush soaked in oil and salt.
2
Boil the Brussels sprouts, drain them and cut them into pieces. Chop the walnut kernels, peel the apple and dice it. Cut the dried plums into small pieces.
3
Shell the AIA Pork Sausage and put it in a bowl; add all the prepared ingredients to the sausage, add the egg and mix everything together. Soak the bread in the milk, squeeze it and cut it into pieces, then add it to the mixture.
4
Chop the herbs and add them to the stuffing. Salt and pepper. Stuff the inside of the turkey with your hands and, after finishing, sew the ends with a needle and kitchen string, then tie the wings and legs together.
Completely cover the turkey breast by overlapping the slices of AIA Pancetta. Brush the entire surface with a little butter and put the rest in flakes in a high-sided pan. Place the turkey on top and bake in a preheated oven at 220˚ for 20 minutes.
5
Add the white wine and lower the temperature to 180˚ and continue cooking for over two hours.
