About the dish

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.
