This is and the following recipes will be from 'Eva Exner, Braten und
Schmoren im Roemertopf, ISBN 3-87059-080-7'

Wash and remove outer leaves of broussel sprouts, quarter tomatoes and chop
the onions. Put into watered claypot and add the mushrooms. Sprinkle soup
seasoning onto it and put turkey on top. Mix pepper, paprika, salt and
squeezed garlic with oil and paint turkey with the mixture. Cut bacon into
thin stripes and cover the turkey with them. Close claypot and cook the
turkey for about 150 minutes at 220 degree C (428 F). Remove turkey from
cleypot and keep warm. Use the package gravy sauce and the water from the
mushrooms and make a gravy. Add the vegetables from the claypot and boil
quickly.

Serve turkey and sauce with potato dumplings.

(*) yes, the recipe calls for tinned mushrooms, which I only realized when
they spoke of the mushroom water

(**) soup seasoning is just a mix of glutamat, much salt and some spices, a
still :-( much used 'enhancer' of soups

(***) gravy sauce is used either for thickening of self-made sauces or on
its own when one does not have any fond. It is basically a dark roux with
also mostly too much salt and some spices.
