  3. Using the ground meat obtained, fill the turkey. ≈ 10 min
  4. Sew the pocket using kitchen twine.
  5. Heat a pot over the fire, using a suitable spoon (ideally made of copper, aluminum, or earthenware, rather than steel).
  6. Place the turkey breast on a baking sheet and sear on both sides over high heat.
  7. Once the meat is nicely browned, add a sprig of rosemary and deglaze with white wine. ≈ 3 min
  8. Season the green beans with pepper, and, if you like, sprinkle them with cumin. ≈ 2 min
  9. After removing the wine, place the turkey in the oven at 180 °C for one and a half hours.
