Wash the turkey fillet, dry it and cut into portions. Transfer the turkey fillet to a marinating bowl. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and pepper. Stir and add the Peking Duck gourmet sauce. Cover with a lid and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. (If there is no such sauce, you can use any soy sauce -150 g and 3-4 cloves of garlic)

While our fillet is marinating. Let's prepare lingonberry sauce. We wash the lingonberries and fill them with cold water. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Pour 1/2 of the broth into a glass and set aside.

Pour the rest of the lingonberry broth into a bowl. Then rub the berries through a sieve. Place the resulting mixture on low heat again. Add wine, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, pepper. (I added Martini to my sauce. You can add any alcohol). Boil for 5-10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add starch diluted in cold water, mix thoroughly and cool the sauce.

Fry the marinated turkey fillet in a frying pan until golden brown. Gradually pour the lingonberry broth from the glass into the frying pan. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat until done, 20 minutes.

Place the fillet on a plate, pour over the sauce and serve with your favorite side dish.
