Homemade Turkey ham

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make turkey ham? Take the turkey fillet as a whole piece, the fresher the better. You can choose your own dry spices, ready-mixed mixtures for poultry are suitable. Vegetable oil - any, but odorless. If you want, you can bake completely in a sleeve or foil, but such a turkey will be good without these devices. I just cover it with foil on top - you choose the preferred option.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the turkey fillet well, be sure to pat dry with a paper towel. Cut off all the films and tendons from the meat, if any. Then rub the fillet with salt, rubbing it well into the surface of the meat. Rub also with ground paprika.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rub the meat with poultry seasonings if you use them. And also ground pepper, if you want to add spice to your ham.

5. Step 4:

   

   Transfer the turkey meat rubbed with salt and spices to a food bag and send it to the refrigerator for 5-12 hours - the longer it marinates, the more tender and fragrant it will turn out in the end. After the time has elapsed, place the turkey fillet in a greased baking dish, cover with foil on top and place in an oven heated to 200-250 degrees for 20-35 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then remove the foil and brown the surface of the meat a little. When the oven turns off, do not remove the ham from the oven, but leave to cool for 2 hours in the oven. In addition to meat, you will get delicious turkey juice, which can be added to soup or used to make sauce. After 2 hours, remove the turkey from the oven. You can additionally send it under the press by putting it in a food wrap or a plastic bag. But the ham is already getting dense.
