Clean the whole goose, separate the inner fat, place the meat in a pot, and add enough water to cover.
Boil the goose over low heat for 2 hours until tender, then separate the broth and the meat.
Melt the inner fat in a separate pan until it crackles, then strain the fat and set it aside.
Cook the bulgur in hot goose broth for 20 minutes until fluffy, then season with salt.
Dip the yufka sheets into the hot fatty goose broth and arrange them in layers on a tray.
Spread the bulgur pilaf over the yufka layer and scatter the shredded goose meat in large pieces.
Drizzle the rendered goose fat over the top and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Add the goose broth to the yufka gradually so it does not turn doughy. Rendered inner goose fat is the signature of the classic version; replacing it with butter removes much of the authenticity.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plenty of onion and roasted green peppers, plus regional garlic yogurt if desired.
