Singe the turkey, cut the wings off to the first link. Wash the inside and outside of the carcass, then dry it a little.

Boil the rice until half cooked, discard it in a colander and rinse with cold water. Melt the butter. Wash the raisins in warm water and pat dry.
Step 3
Place melted butter, raisins and raw eggs in rice, salt and stir. Rub the outside and inside of the turkey with salt and ginger.

Stuff the turkey with rice and sew it over. Take a saucepan or stewpan, brush the bottom with butter. Wash, peel and finely chop carrots, onions, parsley and celery.
Step 5
Put the turkey back down in a bowl, add vegetables and spices, pour boiling water, close the lid and put on low heat. Simmer the bird for an hour and a half from the moment the water boils. Open the lid and place the turkey dish in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to brown.
Step 6
Remove the turkey, chill slightly, remove the threads and place on a serving platter. Cover it tightly with foil and let sit for half an hour before slicing. This will make the meat denser and easier to cut.
Step 7
Cut the turkey carcass in this way. Cut off the legs first. To do this, stick a chopping fork into any half of the breast from above and cut the skin between the leg and the breast. While holding the carcass, move the leg of the bird to the side and cut through through the thigh attachment.
Step 8
Cut the leg in half. Separate the lower leg from the thigh with the leg bone up. Repeat with the other leg. Cut the meat off the leg, holding the drumstick by the bone. Trim the meat from the thighs in the same way. Then cut off the wings.
Step 9
Hold the side of the turkey with a cutting fork and cut a thin slice of meat diagonally starting from the neck and grabbing some of the filling. Hold the cut piece between a fork and a knife to keep it from falling apart. Butcher the whole carcass, pour the sauce left over from the stewing over the turkey and add fresh herbs to it.
