- Wash a piece of meat under running water, pat dry with paper towels and rub lightly with salt. Make small cuts in the prepared meat with a knife. In this case, the cuts should be over the entire surface of the meat and from all possible sides.
- Cut the lemon in half. Set one part aside for a while, and extract juice from the second part. Note that you do not need to extract juice, but simply cut half a lemon into thin slices.
- Combine kefir, juice from ½ part lemon or lemon wedge, spices and herbs in a deep container. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. The finished kefir mass will become a marinade for meat.
- Dip a piece of turkey in the marinade, send it to the refrigerator and marinate for at least 3 hours. During this time, it is recommended to turn the meat over so that it is evenly marinated from all possible sides.
