👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
7
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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: 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.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve any extra gravy on the side.
