45 Minute Roast Turkey (Mark Bittman)

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:23 -0500

Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. Its almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split, flattened, and roasted at 450°F (lowering the heat if the bird browns too fast), a 10-pound bird will be done in about 40 minutes. Really. It will also be more evenly browned (all of the skin is exposed to the heat), more evenly cooked (the legs are more exposed; the wings shield the breasts), and moister than birds cooked conventionally. But it works only for relatively small turkeys. -- posted by blucoat

Christmas Turkey Stuffed With Mushroom-Flavored Forcemeat

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:47:19 -0500

From Ruth Van Waerebeeks Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook. This has become my standard Thanksgiving turkey recipe. I follow it precisely, alternately basting with drippings and butter every 15 minutes. The result is a spectacular presentationa beautiful, dark golden brown turkey that everyone oohs and ahhs over. Its not that hard, just takes a little extra work. And the extrasmaking the forcemeat stuffing beforehand and the gravy at the endare worth the trouble. Ruth says that the Christmas Turkey is traditionally served with Deep-Fried Potatoe Croquettes, Celery Root and Potato Purée, an assortment of green vegetables, and Baked Apples Filed with Berries, or Pears Poached in Spiced Red Wine. -- posted by Belgophile

Braised Turkey Legs With Wild Mushroom Stuffing

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:59:09 -0500

During Thanksgiving turkeys were on sale at my supermarket for less than $5, so I couldn't resist getting an extra one, and I wanted to prepare it in a different way. This is a deliciously different way to prepare turkey, created by Wolfgang Punk. Slow braising the turkey makes for a succulent result. I've recreated the recipe here, using less exotic ingredients (foie gras was originally used). The original also called for roasting the turkey breast along side the leg portions, but there was nothing original in that (you basically just roast it until it's 165 degrees internally), so I left that part out. -- posted by E.

Found on the internet and made today for superbowl. YUMMY! Had to switch up the cook time and some of the ingredients, but the end product was delicious!

Stuffed Turkey Breast (Martha Stewart)

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:23:53 -0500

This wonderful recipe is from "Martha Stewart's Cooking School" and is delicious any time of the year! It is a bit tedious to assemble, but well worth it! It is very moist and each slice is swirled with stuffing. It makes a beautiful presentation! I first made it for Thanksgiving when I was also serving pork loin and did not want to make a whole turkey. It was a huge hit! I make it with America's Test Kitchen's Classic Bread Stuffing with Sage and Thyme (Recipe # 354309), but you can use your favorite stuffing recipe. A moist stuffing works best! To save time, ask your butcher to bone and butterfly the turkey breast. Make-ahead tip: This can be assembled (through step 2) and refrigerated up to 24 hrs before roasting. -- posted by CindyMarie

Crock-Pot Turkey Breast and Gravy

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:55:08 -0400

Not liking the looks of the skin on my turkey breast, I removed it, then brined the turkey. Worried that it would dry out in the oven without the skin to protect it, I decided to use my slow cooker to cook it. I totally winged it so measurements are approximate, but I was so pleased with the ease of preparation and the results yielded that I had to post this. It makes the richest broth from the carrot, celery and onion that makes the tastiest gravy, and I am a huge gravy fan! And with the skin removed there was no need to skim fat from it. The carrots were delicious to eat too! I'm not sure if the brine was necessary, but I wanted a way to preserve it until I could cook it the next day, and it definitely helped to keep it moist and tasty. It wasn't salty, but I may brine skin-on next time and then remove it to see if there is a difference. I hope you enjoy it! -- posted by c.walsh

Plan ahead the patties need to chill for at least 6 hours or 24 hours, the longer the better ---1 pound should give you 6 small patties or 4 large I would suggest to make them small to reduce the cooking time, if you are are oven baking then go ahead and make 4 large ---this recipe may be doubled but keep the garlic to the same amount or increase only slightly, these may be browned in a skillet in oil then placed on a baking pan to finish cooking in the oven -- posted by KITTENCAL

Hoisin sauce gives these burgers a juicy texture, while ginger and garlic provide a burst of flavor and water chestnuts deliver an appealing crunch. Serve them over toasted whole-wheat buns with a side of tender greens. We used this tangy mayonnaise to enliven the burger even more or for a chicken sandwich or a dip for a platter of wonderful roasted vegetables or perhaps use it as a dressing for sliced napa cabbage with scallions.:) I had some Apricot Mustard left over from another dish and the combination was great - I served it on the side.

Recipe from Eating Well's November/December 2009 magazine; it is low carb and low calorie but packed full of flavor.

They recommend serving it with a side of mashed sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and a glass of Reisling. UPDATE: I just made the cranberry shallot sauce. . .I used 2 large shallots instead of 4 (which was more than enough), added an additional 2T of brown sugar and about 1/4 cup of orange juice to thin it out.

Brined Turkey Breast With Peach Rosemary Glaze

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:22:07 -0500

This makes such delicious and moist turkey! I have changed the glaze before using dark cherries and cranberries instead of the peaches and that is scrumptious as well. I had to roast it longer to get to 165 degrees, about 40 minutes more, so you may want to plan on extra time. Prep time does not include brining time. This is from Sunny Anderson of Food Network. -- posted by Scoutie

Best Apple Cider Brined Turkey

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:58:28 -0500

This will be the BEST roasted turkey youve had, hands down! I prefer this over deep fried turkey as it is about as moist and has much more flavor to it. I compliment this turkey by serving giblet gravy, sautéed herbed mushrooms and Apple Wine Stuffing. Before cooking the bird, I typically use a rub with olive oil or melted butter/margarine. I quarter an apple and stuff inside the cavity for cooking, tenting the bird until the last hour. -- posted by CooksInHeels

Fool-Proof Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:43:05 -0500

I have made this five years in a row and always get compliments about it being the most tender turkey people have ever had. Basting isn't required until the end, so it's a really low-maintenance recipe! And the gravy (my personal favorite part of Thanksgving) is to die for! I have used the same measurements for up to a 14-pound turkey. Serving size and yield were hard to estimate because we always have way more gravy than needed...I settled on 10. Note that because of the broth used, you should not stuff the turkey with stuffing. -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

Thanksgiving Dressing Using Stove Top

I really like the way my mom makes Thanksgiving dressing. I think the special ingredient is the ground turkey! Feel free to add pecans or dried cranberries with the dry stuffing mix. -- posted by Jacquie*

V's Soft Turkey Taquitos With Southwestern Dip

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:58:07 -0500

Every year my dad would make these taquitos with leftover turkey. The corn tortillas are lightly fried in oil, rolled with turkey and sealed on a griddle and come out soft with a nice crunch with the turkey still moist and delicious. These are awesome because they are not deep fried or baked. I took over the tradition and have been making these for years. My family won't eat any leftover turkey in any other form except these soft taquitos. We look forward to these as an appetizer or a meal served with my own Southwestern Dip, Cheese Sauce, Salsa and my Chunky Guacomole the day after thanksgiving. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Patchwork Turkey or Chicken Pot Pies

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:46:35 -0500

Inspired from Pillsbury. This is a great way to use some holiday leftovers, or not, whatever the case may be. Please feel free to throw in other vegetables. It's very simple, only the top has a crust, and it's "patchwork" style. I made 4 individual pot pies. -- posted by Recipe Reader

Annabel Karmel's Chicken and Apple Balls

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:24:59 -0500

This is a great finger food recipe for the little ones. I have had a problem getting my little guy to eat protein and this is the first recipe that he has willingly fed himself. Although the recipe calls for two chicken breasts, I took a shortcut and used ground turkey - it was still delicious! I also omitted the stock cube (too much salt!) and used italian bread crumbs instead. This recipe is much, much easier with a food processor to get finely chopped ingredients that will incorporate nicely into these meatballs. Also, although this recipe says it makes 20 balls, I made mine much smaller and got closer to 4 dozen. (But then again, I used an entire package of turkey, not just two chicken breasts.) -- posted by Sarah Stewart

Best Turkey in the World - Jamie Oliver.

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:42:52 -0500

This looked so fab on his Christmas TV special. I am making it for christmas lunch this year, and a few other of the recipes provided. Cannot give a guarantee that it will be as brilliant as it seems, but fingers crossed it is. I'll post the recipe for the stuffing too, but I guess you can use any favourite recipes for stuffing you like if you want to. Make the butter and apply the night before cooking. The amount of butter required will depend on the size of the bird. For a 6 kilo turkey, around 150g-200g is used. approx 30 minutes per kilo on 400 plus 20 minutes at the end. Preparation time based on preparing the butter, spreading it, and packing the turky with stuffing. No refridgeration time, or stuffing prep. Cooking time based on a 5-6 kilo turkey. -- posted by JinxTheCat

Leftover Turkey and Leek Pot Pie With Instant Gravy

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:03:53 -0500

This is MY much adapted version of Jamie Oliver's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie! I made this with left over Christmas turkey this year, and it was so delicious and went down a bomb with my family and friends! A new Jamie Oliver recipe that he showed on his Family Christmas show this year and one that is so clever, as this pie makes its own gravy! I have left out adding the chestnuts and sage to the pastry as he suggests, I will try it sometime in the future though, as it sounds a brilliant idea; I have added this option at the end of the recipe however, for those who want to try it that way. Serve this with mashed potatoes and the extra gravy in a gravy boat on the side. Here is what Jamie says about this pie: "This is dead simple, completely versatile and absolutely gorgeous. Its not a pretty-boy pie; its a proper, old-school pie that everyone will be over the moon to see on the table. Im putting leftover white turkey meat to good use here, but you could also mix brown meat in there too." I agree, all of my family and friends were over the moon to see this on the post Christmas table, I bet it tastes great with chicken and ham too. NB: he original recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, mine is perfect for 4 very hungry people! -- posted by French Tart

Honey Clove Brine for Mr. Turkey

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:34:55 -0500

Brining a turkey before roasting, or deep frying, will give the turkey more flavor and keep it juicy after cooking. No more dried out bird. This is my personal recipe that I used for the 2009 family Christmas dinner. I only cooked a turkey breast, family doesn't care for dark meat so why bother cooking it. Calling the bird Mr. Turkey is not mandatory, but it does make the little cousins giggle. -- posted by Bowen Cormac
