Turkey Mantı Dumplings
Small Turkish-style dumplings filled with seasoned ground turkey, boiled until tender, and served with garlic yogurt and paprika-mint butter.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Combine the flour, eggs, 90 ml of the water, and 4 gr of the salt in a mixing bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth, firm, and elastic.
-
Step 2
Cover the dough in the bowl and let it rest at room temperature.
-
Step 3
Mix the turkey, onion, parsley, black pepper, and 3 gr of the salt until evenly combined. Refrigerate the filling while rolling the dough.
-
Step 4
Divide the rested dough into four portions. Roll one portion at a time into a very thin sheet, keeping the others covered.
-
Step 5
Cut each sheet into roughly 4 cm squares. Place a small portion of turkey filling in each center, bring the corners together, and pinch the seams firmly closed; arrange the dumplings on a baking sheet.
-
Step 6
Bring the remaining 2000 ml water to a vigorous boil in a stockpot over high heat.
-
Step 7
Add the dumplings, stir gently once, and return the water to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and cook until the wrappers are tender and the turkey filling reaches 74°C, then transfer the dumplings to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
-
Step 8
Stir the yogurt, garlic, and remaining 2 gr salt together in a small bowl.
-
Step 9
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the paprika and dried mint, cook until aromatic, then remove from the heat.

Step 10
Spoon the garlic yogurt over the hot dumplings, drizzle with the paprika-mint butter, and serve immediately.
