Stuffed turkey with golden apples.
This is a very tasty main course, and easy to make.
The sweetness of the golden apples inside will contrast with the richness of the turkey meat and the nuances of the aromas and spices. Completing this dish is the freshness given by the flavor of the Navel oranges my favorite.

Preparation of Stuffed Turkey with Golden Apples

Debone the thigh, or have the butcher do it
We will use the upper part for this dish.
Peel the apples and cut them into 8 wedges each.
Grate an orange, and set the zest aside, then peel the rest and cut it into large cubes.
Wash and dry the rosemary.
Spread the turkey thigh on a surface with the skin facing down, and stuff it with half of the apples, the grated orange zest, and season with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika.
Then tie with kitchen twine.
Place it in a baking dish with the onion cut into large pieces, the rest of the apples and the peeled orange, rosemary, sweet paprika, salt, pepper, and juniper berries.
A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a small piece of butter.
Bake for at least 50 minutes at 350°F with fan.
After the time has elapsed, let it cool slightly, collect the cooking juices, put them in a glass bowl, add 0.25 cup of milk and blend to obtain a sauce to pour over.
Remove the twine, skin, and slice.
Place the slices on a serving plate and pour over the obtained sauce.
