There is also a version of this recipe made with turkey. The recipe with turkey is specific for the New Year, as the turkey in Turkey is almost only eaten in the New Year.
Both versions are a good suggestion for the New Year’s Supper or for the lunch of the first day of the year.
1 chicken with about 2 kg * 50 ml of olive oil * 2 tbsp thyme, * black pepper * red pepper * salt
Filling:
1 cup rice * 1 1/2 cup water * 3 tbsp dried red currants * 1 onion * 1 tbsp olive oil * salt * black pepper * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp all spice
Wash the rice and place it in hot water for about 20-30 minutes. Mix the olive oil with the spices and the salt. Place the chicken in an oven tray and brush it with this mixture. Put it in the oven at 180° for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the filling. Sauté the onion in olive oil. Add the rice and fry it lightly for about 2-3 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, all spice and cinnamon. Add the water and the red currants. Cook until all the water evaporates. Stuff the chicken with the rice and place the chicken again into the oven for about 15 minutes.
The rice recipe (İç Pilavı), which name means Rice for Stuffing, is also used as a filling of dolmas and sarmas and as a side dish.
