Traditional Turkey with Sauerkraut is a very flavorful and hearty dish, perfect for special occasions. The turkey is roasted until golden and juicy, then served on a bed of flavorful sauerkraut that has absorbed all the savory juices.
Ingredients:
- 1 turkey
- 1.5 kg sauerkraut
- 250-350 grams of lard
- Salt, pepper
Preparation Method:
Season the cleaned turkey with salt. Place a tablespoon of lard inside the turkey and sew it closed. Roast the turkey in the oven at a moderate temperature for 2-3 hours, basting it occasionally with a mixture of warm water and lard. Chop the sauerkraut, add a little lard, a cup of water, and simmer until the cabbage softens. Finally, season with pepper. Once the turkey is roasted, remove it from the oven and stir the sauerkraut into the roasting juices. Place the turkey on top of the sauerkraut and bake for another 30 minutes, stirring the cabbage occasionally.
