1
Wash the turkey and dab dry. Season with salt and pepper. Stick the wings under the back and tie the legs together. Cover breast with bacon. Roast on the grill above the fat pan in a preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 2 1/2-3 hours. Clean, wash and coarsely chop the greens. After approx. 30 minutes roasting time, place on the fat pan and roast with it.

Gradually add 3/4 litres of water. Pour the roast stock over the turkey several times in between. Clean, wash and halve the mushrooms. Drain the chanterelles. Heat 1 tablespoon of fat. Sauté the mushrooms in it for about 5 minutes. Add the chanterelles and fry briefly. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the beans in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes (clean, wash and break fresh beans into pieces, heat canned beans in the broth). Keep turkey warm. Pour roast stock through a sieve into a small pot and skim off the fat. Bring the roast stock to the boil. Stir flour in a little water until smooth.
