Herb-Seasoned Turkey

Mon, 03 Nov 2003 20:00:42 -0500

This is the moistest turkey I have ever made. The herbs tucked inside the bird and the herb-oil mixture give it a wonderful flavor. Allow 3/4 pound uncooked turkey per person. I like to tuck 3 whole sages leaves under the skin (loosen skin first with a large spoon or other fairly flat, dull tool). As the turkey cooks, the skin becomes transparent and the leaves will show through--and it adds to the flavor! -- posted by Sharlene~W

Turkey Brine

Wed, 06 Oct 2004 19:59:54 -0400

For a JUICIER and TASTIER turkey, brine before cooking! If your turkey or chicken is kosher do not brine since it has already been salted. Brining isn't just for poultry but also lean cuts of meat and even fish and shrimp. But you must adjust time to their size. Example; a whole trout takes only 20 minutes and the same with shrimp, a whole chicken takes about 4 hours, a cut up chicken about 2hrs. May add honey or maple surup, may replace some of the water with something like apple cider or coffee. Let loose your creativity. Yes, you have to plan ahead but for little effort the results are WORTH IT! -- posted by ameatlanta

Mini Phyllo Cranberry Shells

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 20:00:39 -0500

A great way to use up those holiday leftovers for a colorful hors'douvre or bite size snack that can be warmed in the oven if you wish. The mini phyllo shells can usually be found in the frozen section near the pies and such. Use the suggestions here or be creative and sub the filling with what you have on hand (spinach & Greek cheeses or artichoke dip or chicken salad...mmm!). :o) Suggestion found online. -- posted by winkki

Garlic Italian Meatballs...for a Crowd!

Tue, 02 Aug 2005 16:57:37 -0400

These meatballs are simple, versatile, and packed with savory, garlicky flavor! YUM!! Use them for spaghetti, meatball sandwiches, Italian wedding soup, baked ziti...I think this recipe will serve 35 people. :-) It would also freeze well for those of you who do OAMC. The lady who gave me this recipe used to be a caterer, and she told me that one of her clients said these were better than his Italian wife's own meatballs! I guess that's saying something. Anyway, I really like these, and if you love garlic, so will you! Cooking time is for one batch of meatballs, but of course it will take longer to make all of them. Prep time doesn't include peeling and mincing the three heads of garlic, which is admittedly a somewhat lengthy process. Oh well, it's certainly worth it!! -- posted by A Messy Cook

Aluminum Football (Roast Turkey)

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 13:28:44 -0500

I got this method for cooking a turkey off the internet a few years back. It's fool proof, and you'll have the most moist bird ever. You'll also have about a gallon of drippings for stuffing and gravy. I always cook two birds for Thanksgiving. One either smoked or fried, and the other this way. The smoked or fried bird goes to the table whole for carving. The bird cook this way is sliced up and brought to the table ready to eat. This is because the bird, while very moist and tasty, is not very attractive due to the fact it won't be very brown and the meat will literally be falling off the bone. The purpose of this posting is not to tell you how to prepare a turkey. Do it how ever you usually do. This posting is more about how to cook the bird. Once you have popped the bird in the oven, youre doneno checking, turning, or basting necessary. Go do other things. -- posted by Pokey in San Antonio, TX

Juicy Roast Turkey

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 16:27:00 -0400

The rub makes this turkey absolutely delicious! The roasting technique comes from Fine Cooking Magazine, issue #60, but the rub is my own. This makes enough rub for a 15 to 20 lb turkey. All the herbs called for are dried, but if you are lucky enough to have fresh, by all means use that - just in larger quantities. No stuffing here, but you can certainly make some on the side. -- posted by evelyn/athens

Sausage Stuffing

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 08:26:06 -0400

An old family favorite, taught to me by my mother in law 47 years ago. Hints: the bread can be substituted with ready prepared bread cubes. The amounts of the seasonings are guess work as I do them by tasting as I go.They can be adjusted as you wish. No liquid is needed in the stuffing, as the turkey juice, and the fat in the sausage is all that is necessary. place a liner of foil in your roasting pan, and cover turkey with an additional sheet of foil, sealing tightly. Cooking time is 4 1/2 -5 1/2 hours. -- posted by blgpts

Brunswick Stew

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:59:49 -0500

On New Year's Day, we invite friends over and have our favorite New Year's Day foods. I make what I thought this was the traditional Brunswick Stew recipe. I have searched the site and none sound like this! Maybe it is only traditional with us! Each year, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, I make turkey stock from our leftover birds. It is way too simple to even write a separate recipe. After dinner, I cut the meat from the bones (of the turkey) that we want to have for leftovers, sandwiches, or other good meals and refrigerate it. Then I put the carcass, the gravy, the neck, turkey skin, a squirrel (if we have one), and a rabbit (if we are lucky) into the pan I cooked the turkey in, along with about 2 quarts of water. I simmer this until time to go to bed, then put it on the deck (it is as cold or colder out there than it is in the refrigerator), and put a couple of bricks on the lid to keep any animals from stealing our broth. The next day, (bring pan back into kitchen) heat to warm, remove bones, and skim fat. Freeze broth and meat and save for New Year's Day. The amounts are approximate. -- posted by Sweetiebarbara

Low Calorie and Fat Tomato Meat Sauce With Mushrooms and Arugula

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:44:35 -0500

I used lean ground turkey adding the diced veggies to it so no added oil is used. This has lots of flavor and nutrients. Let me tell you that it's so good you'll go into the fridge and sneak a bite of it cold. It seems like a lot of arugula but it cooks down to just look like a bunch of herbs. I find this a great way to get greens into my family. Go ahead and use spinach if you can't get arugula. Use to top any pasta, rice, lasagna, pizza or eat it straight. Do freeze the leftovers for soups or whatever you enjoy! -- posted by ~Rita~

Zwina Turkey and Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:27:04 -0400

I love this recipe and it makes a large batch so I can freeze. Zwina is the Moroccan Arabic (Darija) word for beautiful and when food is really good, that is said. I also cook a pound of pasta and freeze that in four zip freezer bags for an easy nutritious weeknight meal. You can add or omit vegetables as you see fit. I do a great deal with soups and sauces living alone so that I can get adequite nutrition while not having to make a three piece meal. I prefer male eggplants as they have fewer seeds and I have never in my life had to salt an eggplant. They have been changing for quite sometime to not require that step though I never bothered and never found one to be bitter. To pick a male look for the slightest indentation at the bottom. The females will have a deeper 'belly button.' I do not peel the eggplant either and that is my personal preference. Depending upon your tomatoes you may need to add a touch of sugar to balance. I make all of my soups and sauces a day ahead of serving. You may also find that depending upon the 'dryness' of your veggies thinning with some chicken or vegetable stock to be necessary though wait until the end of cooking to do so. I also season with salt and pepper at each step, then re-season as it cooks. c.2007 -- posted by Miss Elizabeth

NOTE: If you purchase a frozen turkey, you must defrost it in the refrigerator, and it can take several days to completely defrost, depending on the size of your bird.

Also, you should never try to defrost a turkey on your kitchen counter or in the kitchen sink this promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. -- posted by abdulsater

Advance Planning Turkey Gravy

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 17:03:56 -0500

Thanksgiving's not really about the turkey, it's about the gravy, right? It has to be good and there has to be a lot of it. We figure about 1/2 cup per person, so there's enough to lace the vegetables and stuffing as well as the turkey and mashed potatoes. Making it ahead not only means you don't have to fuss too much on T-day itself, but also that you can make a large quantity. WinCo is a good bet for finding the turkey parts you'll need to make this gravy.-- Adapted from Woman's Day magazine -- posted by HotChaiLatte

" Flipped" Roast Turkey

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:02:06 -0500

Of all the recipes I've posted on 'zaar, one of the most popular is Recipe #98395. For the last several years, I've thought about trying the method described with a turkey, but I always wimped out at the last minute. Since you only get one chance each year to do the Thanksgiving feast right, it's a little scary to try new stuff. This time, though, I was on a roll. Since everything else was coming together so well, I finally decided to take a risk on the turkey. When it came out of the oven, 10 people were standing in my kitchen, and they sort of collectively gasped. One of our (non-family) guests asked, "Where did you get that turkey? And what did you do to it? It looks like something out of a magazine!" :) To my absolute delight, it tasted as good as it looked! Everybody said it was the juiciest, most flavorful turkey they'd ever eaten. So, yeah, "flipping the bird" works even when it's The Big Bird! Cook time is a total guess. You'll need to check the temp. -- posted by highcotton

In our house this is the only thing we do with leftover turkey! Serve over rice and with hot corn bread. This is our all-time favorite gumbo recipe from La Bonne Cuisine Cookbook from New Orleans. After cooking this for more than 25 years, we now ad-lib, I throw all the leftover turkey in, cover with water and go from there. But, for those of you who have never made a gumbo, it helps to follow the recipe a few times. This recipe is very tried and true, you will create an out of this world gumbo! *Just be careful to NOT burn the roux. You must stir constantly. Plan on having someone else answer the phone, you cant do both. I am from New Orleans and have had my share of gumbo, believe you-me! This one is the best! -- posted by Trinkets

Mini Turkey Cornbread Sandwiches

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 16:23:06 -0400

I decided that some of my leftover deli sliced smoked turkey was just the thing to make mini-muffin sandwiches. The only question in my mind was to decide what type of muffins to make. Cornbread always goes well with turkey, so adding cornmeal to the muffins was an easy decision. I wanted them to be slightly sweet and not too dry, so I added a small amount of brown sugar to them. I planned on using some leftover cranberry sauce with sliced deli smoked turkey, and because cranberry and citrus work so well together, I also opted to add some orange juice to the muffins. I didn't add any zest, though the juice was fresh squeezed, because I wanted the flavor to be subtle enough to prevent it from competing with the turkey. -- posted by kmergirl

Susan's Best Turkey

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:30:07 -0400

This is my roast turkey for Thanksgiving or other festive occasion prepared using ingredients available to our founding fathers, or maybe we should say mothers. I decided, after living in Europe for many years, and consuming much garlic, paprika and delicious olive oil, that I needed to "Get my Thanksgiving On". I consulted my mother and cousins state-side, and my favorite cook book - the 1933 edition of Fanny Farmer, and from those beginnings I came up with my own preparations, based on what I believe would have been the ingredients available to a cook at around the time the first thanksgiving was celebrated. I usually roast a turkey weighing 16-18 pounds cuz I can't fit a larger bird in my oven. This is a great size for serving up to 24 reasonably hungry adults with a sprinkling of children. I have always been able to get a fresh bird, and once even "fattened" my own for about 2 months on veggie scraps from soup makings, fruit parings and shucked corn. That was a memorable bird. I do recommend cooking your stuffing in the bird. It is just so much better. I don't have a favorite stuffing recipe per se but like my stuffing to be mostly pork and walnuts, chestnuts, sage and thyme. -- posted by Chef #951234

Turkey Brie Cranberry Bites ( Rachael Ray)

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:04:42 -0400

This recipe was called "Triscuit Turkey Melts" by Rachael Ray but I prefer turkey brie cranberry bites as that really tells you what you are getting. This is an easy appetizer that would be great for the holidays, Thanksgiving, a dinner party at home or anytime you need a quick snack. Very cute and yummy! Watch the brie in the broiler. Enjoy!

Creamy Delicious Turkey Soup!

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 01:29:58 -0500

I found the base of this recipe from AllRecipes but have made this so many times and tweaked it so many times that it's not truly the original anymore. This is my absolutely FAVORITE way to use up some leftover turkey meat. Don't throw away that turkey carcass! It's imperative here. I don't think I would bother making this soup without the turkey carcass step because I feel it adds an incredible amount of flavor. I also like to add a few diced potatoes sometimes. I hope you like this as much as we do! My 2 and 4 year old LOVE it! -- posted by ChicagoRN

Wicked Easy Turkey Noodle Soup

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:36:49 -0500

So, it's four days after Thanksgiving and my leftover turkey is threatening to revolt and turn on me and my mother's in my ear "Make some stock, make some stock!" BAH! So. Soup. It's pretty darn easy, doesn't need much seasoning and is perfect for the After-Thanksgiving Cold that everyone seems to get at the same time. I just made a pot of this and started doling it out. -- posted by OneFootInThePoorHouse

Black Friday Jerk Turkey Soulash (Soup + Goulash)

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:32:26 -0500

An "everything but the kitchen sink" concoction I made from leftover Jerk Turkey we bought from a Caribbean restaurant and other Thanksgiving leftovers (thus the name Black Friday). I wanted to make a soup with a Caribbean flair. I used homemade stock I made with the turkey bones but storebought will work just as well. -- posted by Chelley-Chelle

Roast Turkey With Oyster Stuffing

I like oysters, but I didn't know I'd like them in stuffing. I like the combination of leeks and oysters. This recipe came from Betty Crocker's Old-Fashioned Cookbook. You can substitute 2-8 ounce cans oysters for the shucked oysters. -- posted by AmyZoe

Mom's French Canadian Cretons

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:49:28 -0400

This is a traditional french canadian staple. You eat this on toast of choice, it's a high protein very nutritional breakfast favourite. I've been eating cretons since I was a child and everytime I visit my parents, my mother always makes this (one of my favourite dishes) for my husband! I try to make this dish as lean as possible using a combination of turkey and pork, if no turkey than chicken is good also. Portions on the meat is 2 to 1 and doesn't matter if you use more pork than turkey or visa versa, the outcome is always just a good as the last! -- posted by Chef Frenchflair
