The main ingredient in Turț is brânză de burduf, a type of cheese made from sheep's milk. The cheese is traditionally made by Romanian shepherds and is known for its strong flavor and slightly crumbly texture. Other ingredients in Turț include eggs, flour, and sometimes a bit of sugar.
To prepare Turț, the cheese is first grated and then mixed with the eggs and flour to form a dough. The dough is then rolled out and cut into small pieces, which are then filled with more cheese. The filled pieces are then baked until golden brown.
