If you don't want to gain weight this Christmas, opt to prepare your favorite dishes in a healthy way, so you won't have anything to worry about. If you don't have the time or desire to cook a whole turkey, choose to use only the breast.
1 turkey, (or a turkey breast) of 3-4 kg already cleaned and hollowed out inside
1 apple, in cubes with skin
50 grams raisins
50 grams blueberries
250 grams dates, finely chopped
6 turkey sausage
1/2 onions, finely chopped
salt, to taste
4 pepper blend, to taste

Prepare the filling. Instead of finely chopping the ingredients, a food processor can be used, but be careful not to grind too much.
While finishing the filling, rub the turkey or breast with olive oil. Once ready, fill it. If cooking a breast, it needs to be flattened, filled, and rolled. Season with salt and pepper.
If there is leftover filling, meatballs can be made with it and placed around the turkey on the tray.
Bake at 180ºC, basting with its juices every hour. It may need a little chicken broth. For the last half hour, bake uncovered to brown.
The baking time depends on various factors, so it should be checked constantly. On average, a 3 kg turkey bakes in 2 hours and a 4 kg one in 4 ½ hours.
