Cooking:
- Wash a piece of meat under running water, dry with paper towels and lightly wipe with salt. In the prepared meat, make small cuts with a knife. In this case, cuts should be on the entire surface of the meat and on all possible sides.
- Cut the lemon into two parts. Set aside one part for a while, and get juice from the second part. Note that you can not get juice, but just cut half a lemon into thin slices.
- In a deep container, combine kefir, juice from ½ part lemon or lemon wedges, spices and herbs. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. Ready kefir mass will become a marinade for meat.
- Dip a piece of turkey into the marinade, refrigerate and marinate for at least 3 hours. During this time, it is recommended to turn the meat over so that it is uniformly marinated on all possible sides.
- Turn on the oven and preheat to 150-180 degrees.
- Remove the meat from the marinade, transfer to a piece of foil, tightly wrap, put in a baking dish and bake for 1 hour. At the same time, a large amount of juice will be released from the meat during baking. Do not be scared, it should be so. This juice will be present in baked meat.
- Remove the juicy turkey filet from the oven, expand, cool slightly, cut into thick slices, serve with a side dish or fresh vegetables.
- Note that cold cuts or juicy cold sandwiches can be made from this meat.
