Preparation steps

1.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2.

Rinse the turkey and pat dry, then season inside and out with salt and pepper. Soak the rolls in the milk. Using a meat grinder, turn the veal and pork twice through, to mince. Peel the onions and sauté in 2 tbsp butter. Remove from the heat and mix in the herbs. Squeeze the bread well, pick into pieces into the pan and cook briefly. Allow everything to cool. Mix with the minced meat, hazelnuts, eggs, marjoram, salt and pepper, and season to taste. Place the mixture into the turkey and tie tightly with kitchen twine.

3.

Place the turkey in a buttered roasting dish with the breast side up and cover with a damp cloth. Cook for 2-2.5 hours in the preheated oven  (on the bottom rack).

4.

Peel the potatoes, rinse, pat dry and cut into half or quarters, depending on the size. Mix with 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper.

5.

While the turkey is cooking, occasionally drizzle with the remaining melted butter and, if necessary, add some water. During the last 45 minutes remove the towel, spread the potatoes around the turkey and let brown.

6.

Remove the roast turkey from the oven. Cut the twine and arrange on a plate. Serve with the potatoes.
