Oven-baked turkey stuffed with apples, cheese and pineapples is a traditional American dish, the main dish of the Christmas holidays.
The turkey is marinated with garlic and spices, then stuffed with apples, cheese and pineapple, then baked whole in the oven and served with a kick-ass sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 turkey (about 8 kg)

Turkey marinade:
2 heads of garlic
30 gr. olive oil,
spices:
herbs de Provence (rosemary, basil, thyme, sage, peppermint, savory, oregano, marjoram mixed or any of them), nutmeg,
salt, black pepper.

Stuffing for turkey:
4 apples
300 g canned or fresh pineapple
100 g cheese
5 garlic cloves,
half a lemon
2-3 sprigs of rosemary.

Spices:
Provence herbs, nutmeg,
salt, black pepper.

Turkey Recipe

1. Defrost the turkey if it is frozen (at the rate of 30 minutes per pound of turkey in cold water on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator).
2. Wash the turkey inside and out, then pat dry with a towel.
3. We are preparing the marinade. Two heads of garlic, peel, then press on a garlic press into a deep bowl and pour the garlic with olive or vegetable oil, add spices, salt, black pepper and mix. Let the garlic and spices brew in oil (15-20 minutes) and the marinade is ready.
4. We marinate the turkey. We put the turkey in a large bag, put part of the marinade on top and inside the turkey and rub it with our hands, inside and out. We tightly wrap the turkey in the same bag, and leave it to marinate in this form overnight. The turkey is cooked in the oven for about 50-60 minutes per 1 kg of its weight, so we will calculate in advance when to start cooking.
5. Preparing the stuffing for the turkey.
   We do not cut the sprigs of rosemary very finely, we clean the garlic, but do not cut it, it will be used in the filling with whole cloves.
   If the pineapple is fresh, peel it and cut into cubes, if canned - drain the water, cut the pineapple into cubes. Cheese cut into thick slices.
   We clean the apples, remove the core from them and cut each apple into 8 parts.
   Add apples to pineapples, spices and cheese, squeeze the juice from half a lemon, salt, pepper, sprinkle with Provencal herbs and nutmeg on top.
6. Take the marinated turkey out of the bag and stuffing. Tightly stuff the turkey with the prepared stuffing, tie the legs together.
7. Cooking turkey. We cover the baking sheet with two strips of foil about a meter long, and put a third sheet on the seam. We spread the turkey, carefully wrap it on all sides with this third foil, like a substrate (so that all the juice remains in this part of the foil). Then, not very tightly wrap the turkey in the substrate with the main part of the foil.
8. Before baking the turkey, preheat the oven to 250 degrees, and only after that (not earlier!) Put the turkey in the oven. This is necessary so that the high temperature processes the turkey skin and the juice does not begin to flow out of it during cooking, in this case it will be much juicier.
9. The turkey, in an oven preheated to 250 degrees, is baked for 30 minutes, after which the temperature is reduced to 180 degrees, and at this temperature the turkey, completely wrapped in foil, is baked for the rest of the estimated time MINUS 30 minutes. During these 30 minutes before the turkey is ready, we take the bird out of the oven, carefully (so as not to spill the juice on the baking sheet) unfold the foil and by piercing the bird with a knife (you need to pierce its meatiest parts - chest and thighs) we make sure that it is completely baked. If the turkey is baked, the juice will be absolutely transparent when it is pierced, if it is scarlet, then you either did not calculate the time correctly, or the temperature. In the latter case, carefully wrap the turkey in foil and place it back in the oven to roast until fully cooked. If you are convinced that the bird is ready, you need to make something like a “dish” out of foil and pour the turkey in such an unfolded form with its own juice and place it back in the oven in order to achieve a charming baked crust.
10. The turkey, after unwrapping, is baked in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees. This is one of the most crucial moments, as your turkey can char very quickly. Therefore, we do not leave the oven for a minute, almost every 5 minutes we take out a baking sheet with a turkey (that is, at least 5 times !!!) and very carefully pour the entire surface of the bird with juice. If the turkey is only cooked in one place, you can put a piece of foil on top of this place.
11. Preparing the sauce for the turkey. Let's prepare a simple but very tasty turkey sauce. We collect a full deep bowl of juice obtained after roasting the turkey with a ladle, grind 1-2 heads of garlic into it and add chopped greens: either the same fresh Provence herbs, or even parsley, dill or cilantro. This sauce will be much tastier and more appropriate than ketchup with mayonnaise!

We serve the turkey baked in the oven, stuffed with apples, cheese and pineapples to the festive table. Bon appetit!
