HOW TO MAKE BAKED TURKEY LOIN WITH HONEY

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 4: Turn off the oven and serve the turkey loin with mashed potato.

TIPS FOR BAKED TURKEY LOIN WITH HONEY

1. If the loin starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually bake the loin at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors and the meat gets more tender.

3. If you have leftovers, store the meat in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
