Moist & Juicy Roast Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing | Authentic German-Style Recipe by Chef Gert

Описание: #turkeyrecipe #roastturkey #thanksgivingdinner #christmasdinner #germanrecipes #GermanCooking #chefrecipe #homecook
This is the perfect recipe recommendation for Thanksgiving in the United States, brought to you from Gasthof Maxen in the beautiful Saxon Switzerland region. But stuffed turkey is also a wonderful centerpiece for the Christmas holidays. Chef Gert Richter shares his tips for keeping the meat tender and juicy. Be sure to roast your turkey low and slow in the oven for several hours.

The filling also plays a key role. In this recipe, Chef Gert uses chestnuts—also known as marrons—and adds a hint of bitter almonds for an especially rich and distinctive flavor.

Juicy Roast Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing – Serves 3–4

Ingredients:

1 turkey (approx. 3–4 kg / 6.5–8.8 lbs)

Salt, pepper, paprika

For the stuffing:

150 g (5 oz) butter

1 whole egg

3 egg yolks

3 egg whites (whipped to stiff peaks)

2 bread rolls (or more, as desired)

½ L (2 cups) milk

1 grated bitter almond

1 pinch of salt

1 tsp sugar

200 g (7 oz) finely chopped chestnuts

100 g (3.5 oz) breadcrumbs

Instructions:

Soak the bread rolls in milk. Cream the butter, whole egg, and yolks until fluffy, then mix in the almond, salt, and sugar. Add the soaked bread, chestnuts, and breadcrumbs, and combine well. Finally, gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Rinse the turkey and season the cavity with salt. Mix salt, pepper, and paprika, and rub it all over the outside of the turkey. Fill the cavity and neck with the stuffing and close the openings (e.g., sew or tie shut).

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and roast the turkey for 20–25 minutes to brown it. Then lower the temperature to 150°C (302°F) and roast for about 3 hours, basting frequently with its own juices. Optionally, simmer the pan juices with a little dry white wine and thicken with a touch of starch.
