Ingredients

1 ¾ warm milk 415 grams
2 eggs
⅓ cup honey 93g
2 ½ teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons softened butter 90 grams
5-6 cups fresh milled hard white wheat flour finely ground (650-780 grams)
1 ½ tablespoons instant yeast

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together milk, eggs, honey, salt, and butter.
Add in 4 ½ cups of flour and knead until combined.
Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
Add in the yeast and the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead for 6-10 minutes, until the dough is well combined and smooth, and reaches windowpane.
Transfer the dough into a greased bowl and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour.
Once doubled, turn the dough out onto an oiled surface and divide into 3 equal pieces.
Preheat oven to 350* f. Roll each piece of dough out into a 10 inch circle and cut into 8 equal slices, like a pizza. You should have 24 pieces total.
Grease two 12-count muffin pans. Place each piece of dough across the muffin holes. The point of the dough should hang off the front of the pan and the back of the dough should hang off of the other side of the pan. The middle of the triangle should be pushed into the hole of the muffin pan.
Use a toothpick to poke eyes into the point of the dough on the muffin pan.
Use scissors to cut 3-5 pieces on the fat end of the dough, to create feathers.
Bake the turkeys for 12-15 minutes, until they start turning golden brown.
