Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 400 g Ground turkey breast
- 200 g Low-fat cottage cheese
- 200 g Frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 liter Chicken broth
Instructions
Start by making the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and water.
Mix the dough with a fork until it starts to come together, then knead with your hands on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, cottage cheese, drained spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, parsley, nutmeg, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
Divide the rested dough into two portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to a thin sheet (about 2 mm thick).
Cut the rolled dough into 12 cm squares. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto each square.
Fold the dough over the filling, press the edges firmly, to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Bring a pot of chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the Maultaschen in the broth.
Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until the Maultaschen are cooked through and float to the top.
Serve the Maultaschen in the broth, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
