Put the remaining apple mixture (1-2 tablespoons) aside. Put the bag together with wooden sticks and tie it tightly with kitchen string. Spread oil on a fat pan. Place the turkey breast on it and roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 1 1/2 hours. After about 40 minutes of frying time, add the remaining apple mixture to the fat pan and gradually deglaze with stock. 15 minutes before the end of the frying time, coat the roast with honey. In the meantime, clean and wash the Brussels sprouts and cook in boiling salted water for 18-20 minutes. Take the roast out of the oven.
