Turkey Fillet with Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 800 g turkey fillet
• 30 g butter
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 150 g dried cranberries
• 200 ml red wine
• 150 ml beef broth
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 pieces cinnamon stick
• 4 pieces juniper berries

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pat the turkey fillet dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey fillet for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Set the pan aside.

3. 3

   Place the pan with the meat in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes under aluminum foil.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: place a pan over heat and add the red wine. Stir in the cranberries, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon stick, and juniper berries.

5. 5

   Add the beef broth to the pan and simmer the sauce over low heat for 10-12 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Remove the cinnamon stick from the sauce. Slice the rested turkey fillet into beautiful pieces.

7. 7

   Arrange the turkey slices on plates and pour the warm cranberry sauce over top. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
