👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure oven is fully preheated before placing the turkey inside. - 2
Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Drying the turkey skin helps it crisp up better. - 3
In a large roasting pan, combine chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables.
- 4
Pour white wine and broth into the roasting pan. Dot the turkey with butter.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Using both wine and broth adds depth of flavor to the gravy. - 5
Roast the turkey for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (without touching bone) registers 74°C (165°F). Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Basting keeps the turkey moist and helps create a flavorful gravy. - 6
Remove turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. Tent loosely with foil.

While the turkey rests, prepare the mlinci. Break the mlinci into bite-sized pieces. Strain the pan juices into a saucepan, discarding solids. Bring the juices to a simmer.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Breaking mlinci ensures they absorb the juices evenly. - 8
Add the broken mlinci to the simmering pan juices. Stir gently until the mlinci have softened and absorbed most of the liquid, about 5-10 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Do not overcook the mlinci, they should be tender but not mushy. - 9
Carve the rested turkey and serve hot with the prepared mlinci. Garnish with fresh parsley.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Serve any extra gravy on the side.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For extra crispy skin, rub the turkey with a mixture of butter, salt, pepper, and herbs before roasting.
- ✓If you don't have mlinci, you can substitute with wide egg noodles or even crusty bread torn into pieces.
- ✓The vegetables in the roasting pan can be used to make a flavorful gravy.
