Purica na lovranski način

Purica na Lovranski način is a Croatian dish originating from Lovran, a city known for its high-quality chestnuts, which are also used in the preparation of this delicacy. The key ingredient for this dish is a large turkey that is stuffed with a flavorful combination of roasted local chestnuts, heavy cream, butter, ground veal, egg yolks, cognac, rum, and prošek. After the turkey has been stuffed, it is sprinkled with bay leaves and marjoram, then roasted in the oven for 2 hours. Before serving, the meat is often drizzled with leftover pan drippings.
