Turkey thigh in the oven in the sleeve

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a turkey thigh in a sleeve? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Start with the marinade. Balsamic vinegar can be replaced with ordinary table vinegar 9% or apple.If there is wine vinegar, you can use it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the green onion and cut it into 3-4 pieces so that it is more convenient to put it in the blender bowl.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the ginger root and cut into arbitrary pieces.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the chili peppers from the seeds and stalks and cut into pieces. With chili pepper, the marinade will turn out quite sharp. If you need a mild marinade, remove the chili altogether. Or replace it with a powdered one at the tip of the knife. So the edge will be barely noticeable.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the bell pepper from the seeds and stalks and cut into medium cubes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel the garlic and cut into pieces.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the bell pepper and chili, green onion, garlic and ginger in the blender bowl.

8. Step 8:

   

   Grind everything to the desired consistency. You can beat everything up to a homogeneous viscous mush. My pieces were crushed strongly, but not to the state of a homogeneous puree.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the chopped vegetables in a bowl, pour in the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Stir the marinade.

11. Step 10:

    

    Now prepare the turkey thigh: wash it, dry it with paper towels. I have a hip with a bone, but no skin. On sale you can find thigh fillets without bones and without skin. In private farms, you can get a thigh with both skin and bone. Meat with skin turns out juicier, because the skin prevents excess evaporation of moisture, and also a delicious crust appears. But with the skin, turkey is difficult to find in retail chains. Basically, fillets without skin are sold.

12. Step 11:

    

    Rub the resulting marinade on the turkey and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours, preferably overnight.

13. Step 12:

    

    Place the marinated turkey in the baking sleeve and tie the bag on both sides. Due to the viscosity of the marinade, it covers the surface of the turkey with a thin layer. I did not remove this layer so that the meat without skin would not dry out when baking.

14. Step 13:

    

    Bake the turkey in preheated to 200°In the oven for about 1 hour. Or a little less/longer, depending on your oven. If you have meat with a bone, then especially check that it is well baked near the bone. It should not be red or bright pink.

15. Step 14:

    

    Then cut the sleeve on top and bake the meat for about 10 more minutes.

16. Step 15:

    

    Transfer the finished turkey to a platter, cut into slices and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
