Instruction manual
1
As a rule, each recipe contains instructions on how to serve the finished dish and how to decorate it. If the recipe does not contain such recommendations, then you should adhere to the general rules for the design of meat dishes. The design of the finished dish will always depend on the method of its preparation.
2
You should not put the finished turkey on lettuce, if it is served with sauce according to the recipe. From the sauce, lettuce leaves will quickly fade, darken and look extremely unattractive.
3
It should be remembered that it is not worth using decorations of those colors that are not found in wildlife to decorate turkey (and other dishes). Scientists have proved that all kinds of unnatural shades (neon pink, radioactive green, blue and so on) do not contribute to appetite at all. As the saying goes, living is living.

Fresh vegetables and decorations made from them are great for baked meat. A win-win option for decorating birds is citrus. With them, the bird will always be in harmony on the dish.
5
Bones on turkey legs can be decorated with paper "lanterns". They are cut out of napkins and allow not only to make the dish more beautiful, but also make it possible not to get your hands dirty when it comes to food.
6
Sprigs of greens and small lettuce leaves (they do not line the bottom of the plate, but use only small fluffy leaves) is an almost universal decoration.
7
You can also make a dish with chopped herbs, but you should take into account the taste characteristics of the turkey. If parsley and dill in certain recipes can be combined with its taste, then chopped green onions can kill the whole flavor of the bird.
8
If the turkey is sweet or sour-sweet according to the recipe, then fresh or baked apples, slices of lemon or orange are quite suitable for decoration. It is also possible decoration with slices or slices of pineapple.
9
Sauces are an excellent decoration and addition to a turkey dish. But before pouring the sauce over the bird, it is better to carefully read the recipe. It is likely that the sauce for a particular dish should be served separately.
