Just like traditional roasts, this is a rich main course, perfect for sharing, which happily brings everyone to the table, just like a classic lasagna! Oven-baked turkey pairs well with various side dishes; we suggest baby potatoes, sautéed spinach, or other seasonal dishes. Turkey is much less used than chicken, but we invite you to try it for its tenderness and properties: light, tasty, and healthy. Here are some ideas with turkey:
