Turkey with Pears & Cherry Sauce

This elegant yet simple dish combines tender oven-baked turkey with gently poached pears and a rich cherry sauce. The sweetness of the fruit balances perfectly with the savory turkey, while warm spices like cinnamon and star anise add a cozy, autumnal aroma. It’s a great option when you want something a bit more refined than everyday cooking, but still easy enough to make at home — perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special weekend meal. Ingredients: • Turkey breast fillet — 250 g • Pears — 2 • Sugar — 2 tsp • Star anise — 2 pods (about 3 g) • Cinnamon — 1 stick (about 5 g) • Frozen cherries — 50 g • Butter — 20 g • Rosemary — 1 sprig • Water — 250 ml • Olive oil — 1 tbsp How to cook: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Sear the turkey fillet with the rosemary sprig for 2 minutes on each side over medium-high heat (7 out of 9). 3. Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, peel the pears and place them in a saucepan. Add 200 ml of water, 1 tsp sugar, the cinnamon stick, and the star anise. Simmer for 15 minutes. If the pears are not fully covered with water, turn them halfway through cooking. 5. For the sauce, add the cherries to a small saucepan with 50 ml of water and 1 tsp sugar. Heat for 5 minutes, then add the butter and stir until smooth.
