Oven-roasted turkey and chicken

Meat - Oven-roasted turkey and chicken by Paula C. - Recipia

Oven-roasted turkey and chicken cooks at 220°C, and the skin browns and turns crisp. Fruit vinegar, cinnamon and capers give the roasting pan a distinctive note, with white wine and garlic alongside. I like to tuck the grapes right in among the pieces of meat, not just around the edge of the platter. Preparation: 30 minutes. Cooking: 145 minutes. Total time: 175 minutes. Serves: 6. Approximately 1050 kcal and 75 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 2 turkey legs
  • 800 g turkey breast
  • 2 chicken legs
  • 2 chicken wings
  • 100 g sesame oil
  • 100 ml red pepper paste
  • 50 g blueberry and cranberry vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 480 ml water for the roasting pan
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 360 g rice
  • 720 ml water for the rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt for the rice
  • 150 g carrot
  • 500 ml water for the carrot
  • 15 g parsley
  • 500 g mushrooms
  • 200 g sour cream (minimum 20% fat)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for the mushrooms
  • 300 g pickled cucumbers
  • 200 g grapes
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes

Preparation

1. Set aside about 30 minutes for preparation. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and cut it into portions. Peel the garlic and carrot, slice the garlic, cut up the carrot and mushrooms, then rinse the rice, grapes and tomatoes. 2. Put the meat in a spacious roasting pan. Pour over the sesame oil, red pepper paste, vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon capers, 1 teaspoon salt and cinnamon. Add 480 ml water and roast at 220°C for 60 minutes, until the meat starts to brown. 3. Turn the pieces over, add the garlic and white wine, then roast for another 15 minutes. The garlic will start to smell sweet. 4. Turn the meat again so the skin faces up and roast for another 20 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the juices from the thickest part run clear. 5. Cook the rice with 720 ml water and 1/2 teaspoon salt for 18 minutes, until it has absorbed the water. Separately, boil the carrot in 500 ml water for 20 minutes, until tender, then drain it. 6. Take the sour cream out of the fridge 15 minutes beforehand. Put the mushrooms in a dry pan and cook for 8 minutes, until the liquid they release has evaporated. Add the sour cream, 1/2 tablespoon capers and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then simmer gently for 4 minutes. 7. Arrange the meat on a platter and decorate it with the grapes and tomatoes. Serve with the rice, carrot, parsley, mushrooms in sour cream and pickled cucumbers.

Notes

Serve the roast with rice and cucumbers pickled in brine; the mushrooms in sour cream contain dairy. The wine cooks in the pan; for an alcohol-free version, replace the 100 ml wine with 100 ml chicken stock. Store leftover meat in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The breast may cook before the large legs, so check the pieces separately and take the breast out when it is cooked through. Choose a pan where the pieces fit in a single layer so they brown. If the red pepper paste is very runny, mix it with a little pan juice before spreading it over the meat. The whole turkey weighed 12 kg and wasn’t enough on its own for six people, so I filled out the pan with chicken; I’m grateful to my mother-in-law for her big, beautiful birds.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the blueberry and cranberry vinegar?

Yes, use 50 ml apple cider vinegar instead of the 50 g fruit vinegar.

Why does the breast dry out before the legs?

Check the temperature in the thickest part and take the breast out when it reaches 74°C, if the legs need more time.

What should I do if the pan runs dry?

Pour 100 ml hot water into the pan and continue roasting.

How do I make the skin crispier at the end?

Turn on the grill and leave the meat underneath for 3 minutes, keeping an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
