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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Divide the rested dough into two portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to a thin sheet (about 2 mm thick).
Step 7
Cut the rolled dough into 12 cm squares. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto each square.
Step 8
Fold the dough over the filling, press the edges firmly, to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Step 9
Bring a pot of chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the Maultaschen in the broth.
Step 10
Simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until the Maultaschen are cooked through and float to the top.
Step 11
Serve the Maultaschen in the broth, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
