French-Style Turkey in the Oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. French-style turkey baked in the oven is prepared exactly the same way as chicken or pork, only the dish turns out much more tender and soft, all thanks to this bird's special lean meat. Here is a classic recipe. It can be served warm or chilled.
Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I pre-sliced the turkey fillet into slices about 4–5 mm thick. There is no need to pound these slices, since the meat is already very tender.

Step 2
Season each piece of pork belly on both sides with salt and pepper and let rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Lay the turkey fillet slices in a baking dish in a single layer. I usually use a glass dish; it’s the most convenient.

Step 4
Spread each piece with mayonnaise. Don’t skimp on the mayonnaise—that way the dish will turn out very juicy.

Step 5
Chop the onion into half-rings and spread evenly over the pork belly pieces.

Step 6
Grate the hard cheese on the coarse side of a grater and generously sprinkle the dish with it. I recommend choosing a cheese that melts well so a beautiful, even cheese crust forms on the surface of the meat. Bake the French-style turkey in the oven for 20 minutes.
