Turkey bavarian

I bought a piece of turkey club today. What do you do with it? Grilling? Nope. I did not feel like it.

But my daughter-in-law, who lives near Deggendorf, gave me an idea. When I was visiting "abroad" (yes, the Bavarians do not feel like Germans, but like Bayern .....), gabs "Schweiners". So dumplings with bread roll (s) dumplings. So why not "Puters"?

Thought, done. What do you need for that?

  • Turkey meat of course. An upper club (the crowd determines your hungry wolf pack)
  • Two, three onions.
  • Just as many carrots.
  • Dark beer (or red wine, but then it is not quite Bavarian).
  • Some water or broth. With me always broth.
  • Salt, pepper, marjoram (dried). These are my standard spices. But everyone can season differently.
  • Some fat for frying.
  • A little butter and flour.

More? Not necessary.


And how are you? Not hard. Here we go.

So, wash the meat and pat dry. Now come the reviews because I did not fry it.

Lightly grease a roasting pan, put the meat down with the skin. So put the peeled and chopped onions and carrots. Pour in beer and stock. Put some fat on the meat and it will not dry. Spice up. That was the work. Now the roasting pan comes into the PREHEATED oven. I put it on 175 degrees. Preheat because I did not fry the meat. Now the roasting pan stays in the oven for a good hour.

From time to time douse with the roast stock. After the hour, remove the meat and vegetables, pour the stock into a saucepan, put the meat and vegetables back into the roasting pan. Season again, put some fat on the skin and set the oven to "grill".


Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Either you have a lot of time and cook them (einreduzieren), or you are now doing something dark sauce binder off. Or you can do it like me: a little butter in the pan, let it get hot, then a tablespoon of pure flour and prepare a slightly dark roux. Add them to the roast stock, season again and well.

As a side dish you can make bread dumplings, also potato dumplings or boiled potatoes. If you are a "gravy cooker", maybe you should take some potatoes - like me.

Finally, slice the meat (I'll do it with the electric knife), put it on the plate, add the roast vegetables, your garnish and then some sauce.

It tastes like in Bavaria, just tastier, because turkey tastes stronger than pork.
