Turkey with apple from the oven

Let the turkey come to room temperature at least 2 hours in advance.

Roast the coarsely chopped hazelnuts in a dry frying pan golden brown and let them cool on a plate.

Peel 1/3 of the apples.

Cut open the sheet of the sausages and transfer the meat to a bowl.

Grate the apple above and add the chopped onion, hazelnuts, oregano and orange zest.

Knead everything well together to create a somewhat sticky, even mixture.

Sprinkle the belly of the turkey with salt and pepper and fill the abdominal cavity with the minced apple mixture. Press the filling well and close the opening with cocktail sticks.

Rub the turkey on the outside with salt, pepper and orange juice.

Allow it to retract and rub the turkey around with the soft butter.

Place the turkey with the back in the roasting pan and cover the whole loosely with aluminum foil. Put the turkey to use in a cool place.

Slide the roasting pan with turkey (with aluminum foil over it) into the oven and switch the oven to 175 ° C.

Roast the turkey for 2 hours and baste regularly with the roasting liquid.

Cut the remaining apples into six parts each and remove the cores.

Remove the foil from the turkey after 2 hours. Divide the apple parts around it and switch the oven to 200 ° C.

Let the turkey turn golden brown for another 15-25 minutes.

Put the turkey on a shelf and let it rest for 10 minutes covered with aluminum foil.

Pour the juices with the apple juice and the chicken stock in a pan and boil it into a nice gravy. Pour the gravy into a gravy boat.

Spoon the apple slices into a bowl.

Cut the turkey at the table and serve the gravy and apple.
