TURKEY WITH MLINCI
Ingredients:
Turkey
Salt
Onion
Mlinci (traditional Croatian dried dough sheets)
Lard
Preparation:
Wash the turkey thoroughly and generously season it with salt, both inside and out. Place the turkey on an oven rack and place the rack on a baking tray. Pour several tablespoons of hot lard over the turkey. Place quartered onions underneath the turkey and pour 0.5 liters of hot water into the tray. Roast the turkey at a high temperature, around 240°C, for the first 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 200°C and roast for approximately 2 hours, depending on the size of the turkey (about 2 hours for a 3 kg turkey). After roasting, remove the turkey and baste it with the fat that has accumulated during cooking.
In a pot, bring water to a boil depending on the amount of mlinci you are preparing. Pour the hot water over the mlinci and let them soak for 3-4 minutes. Drain them and add them to the tray where the turkey was roasting. Mix them with the roasting fat and bake them for a few more minutes in the oven.
Enjoy your meal!
