Kittencal's Blasted Rapid Roast 2-Hour Whole Turkey

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 17:32:40 -0500

No more waiting around for hours for your turkey to cook, it will be cooked in a short time and with perfect results! this method will seal in juices to produce a juicy tender turkey, this is for unstuffed turkeys only and do not use this method for turkeys weighing over 16 pounds, cooking time is only estimated it will depend on the size of the turkey used --- a 14-pound unstuffed turkey should be cooked in 1-1/2 hours, and a 16 pound turkey should be cooked in just under 1.75 hours --- do *not* allow the water in your pan to evaporate or it will start to smoke, I advise to use your above-oven fan while cooking the turkey, and I strongly suggest to only use margarine for this since butter tends to scorch at high heat, if you are brining the turkey firstly then omit the salt --- also see my recipe#221743 -- posted by KITTENCAL

Recipe by Tera Sol Foods. Use the slightly nutty flavor cascabel chiles for this delicious and simple turkey recipe. Chile cascabel are bright to dark red large round chiles. The name means "rattle" because of the shape and the seeds make a rattling sound when you shake the chile. Cascabels have a slightly nutty flavor and are typically toasted on a comal and added to meat sauces and salsas -- posted by TxGriffLover

The Day After the Feast Before Turkey Soup

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:00:03 -0400

I had always been a great follower of Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The New York Times, and learned to cook by following their recipes. They printed this recipe in 1987, from which I learned to make a rich, delicious stock and heartwarming soup. I have continued this tradition for 21 years now, and am posting this recipe here so that I am assured of never losing it! Over the years, though, I have made some personalization to it. For instance, my habit has been, after dinner, to remove all meat from the turkey frame. I then immediately put the entire turkey frame in a huge stockpot with enough water to cover, and add the rest of the stock ingredients. Instead of cooking it for 1 hour, though, I usually let it simmer for anywhere from 3 to 4 hours. Before I go to bed for the evening, I strain the soup, let it cool, and refrigerate for use the next day. That Thanksgiving Friday, I skim the fat off the chilled stock, and then prepare the soup as directed. Again, I must reiterate, it is delicious! -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Turkey With Pasta and Broccoli

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:06:33 -0400

Another favorite leftover dish usually contains leftover cooked poultry blended with freshly cooked pasta, such as thin spaghetti, spaghettini or vermicelli, with a cheese sauce spooned over and baked, such as a Tetrazzini. With this in mind, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The New York Times came up with the recipe that consists of thinly sliced cold turkey (light or dark), fettuccine, a cheese sauce (preferably made with Gruyere cheese) and bits of broccoli. It is then baked until bubbling and goes quite well with a chilled Burgundy-type wine, such as a lightly chilled Beaujolais or a nice full-bodied dry white wine. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Turkey and Caviar Sandwiches

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:38:13 -0400

After a holiday, everyone's favorite leftover dish is a cold turkey sandwich. That sandwich might be no more complicated than thinly sliced turkey meat on bread smeared with mayonnaise. Created by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey, this sandwich is fit for royalty. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Turkey Tonnato (Turkey With Tuna Sauce)

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:42:45 -0400

Rather than traditional veal (vitello tonnato), this recipe makes good use of leftover thinly sliced turkey breast. The sauce, given great body and piquancy with the addition of capers and chopped anchovy fillets, is enormously simple to make with a food processor or blender. It is visually impressive, with garnishes such as thinly sliced lemon wedges, imported Mediterranean-style black olives and tourches of finely chopped parsley, was created by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The New York Times. Serve with tomato slices or a mixed green sald on the side. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Rotisserie Turkey

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:36:45 -0400

To properly grill a turkey using a rotisserie the unit must be positioned so the heat source is never directly under the bird. The indirect heat will allow the interior portions of the meat to cook thoroughly before the exterior becomes overdone. Preheating must be done before rotisserie grilling your turkey. A 12 to 14 pound bird is the maximum weight that can be accommodated on a standard rotisserie unit. The turkey must be attached securely to the spit assembly making sure it does not slip on the spit as the rotisserie rotates. The turkey must be trussed properly so the wing and legs don't get caught as it turns. The turkey must be balanced on the rotisserie unit for if not it will not turn and burn out the motor. A turkey intended for rotisserie grilling can not be bread stuffed. The slower cooking time may not kill harmful bacteria as rapidly as with oven roasting. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer before removing the turkey from the heat source. -- posted by ~Rita~

Brown Sugar-Cured Turkey With Wild Mushroom-Shallot Gravy

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:59:56 -0400

I love to try new turkey recipes during the year to experiment before the holidays. I'm finally getting around to posting some that I've tried before. This one is quite good, but a little more work than most. However, parts of it can be prepared a day ahead. Plan ahead for this one - the turkey needs sit in the refer for 24 hours with the herb mixture before cooking. -- posted by lazyme

Grand Marnier Turkey

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:44:26 -0400

Here's another turkey recipe that I have made in the past. I didn't actually use the cooking bag, but used a large roaster with a vent in the lid. I did need to add a little liquid to the bottom of the pan to deglaze the yummy parts that stuck to the pan. DH liked it which was surprising, because he is a true believer that a turkey isn't worth making if it isn't stuffed with a bread stuffing, lol. -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Bacon, Tarragon and Applejack Gravy

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:52:49 -0400

I've made this turkey for a crowd and it was a huge hit. There are a lot of steps, but several of them can be done the day before. My group really enjoyed the gravy, but for me, it was a tad bit sweet because of the applejack. If you don't care for sweeter gravies, I would 1/2 the applejack and add as you taste. Just giving a warning because it's a lot of work to put together a turkey dinner - and it should be great!! -- posted by lazyme

Kittencal's Moist Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:48:56 -0400

Cooking time is only approximate for a 6-pound bone-in turkey breast, for a larger breast cooking time will need to be adjusted, whatever the size of turkey breast roast until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F, for perfect doneness a meat thermometer (instant or regular) should be used --- for the very best flavor a turkey breast with the skin left on is an absolute must and the bone left in would be another plus --- don't forget to save the pan juices to make your favorite gravy or see my recipe#145064 --- a 6-pound turkey breast should feed 4-6 people if you are serving more I suggest to make two or even three depending on how many people you are feeding, you may make all the breasts in the same roasting pan --- NOTE for the best flavor and tenderness it is strongly advised to use a fresh only turkey breast not previously frozen then thawed. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Turkey Brie Cranberry Bites ( Rachael Ray)

FROM the www.chefscatalog.com website - Diane Morgan, The Thanksgiving Table (Chronicle Books, 2001). If you would like to purchase this book, please visit Chronicle Books. "Trust me here - you will never again complain, nor hear complaints about dry meat if you make brining the first step in the preparation of your holiday bird. Brining requires nothing more than boiling water with salt, sugar and spices; cooling the mixture; then soaking the turkey in the brine for 12 to 24 hours." -- posted by senseicheryl

Roast Turkey With Maple Herb Butter

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:44:37 -0500

I have been making this turkey every Thanksgiving for the last 15 years or so! It always produces a tender, moist meat and flavorful skin, and I can't imagine making turkey any other way. The key is that you must use PURE maple syrup (not pancake syrup) and FRESH pressed apple cider (not apple juice). I usually make the maple herb butter the day before, so it's ready Thanksgiving morning. You can make it up to 2 days ahead, if you like. I also stuff my turkey, but if you don't, just add some chopped onion, celery and carrots to the cavity when roasting. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

I made this last year for Thanksgiving, my very first bird...it was absolutely amazing and made me look super impressive! I am making it again this year too. My husband said I had too, LOL!

How to Make the Most Delicious Turkey Ever - by Elise Bauer

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:35:31 -0500

This recipe is from an email from Ron at the www.recipesecrets.net website. The main source for this recipe can be found at http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/000037moms_roast_turkey.php. Here is what Elise has to say: "My mom's turkey is unlike others. The breast meat isn't dried out, requiring cupfuls of gravy to taste good, but moist and flavorful. I've been watching her make our family turkey for years. Finally a few years ago she let me make it, giving instructions the entire time. Mom's method is to buy the best quality turkey available (organic, free-range, etc.) and cook it breast-side down. She also cooks the turkey stuffing separately, not in the cavity, which makes it easier to cook the turkey more evenly." -- posted by senseicheryl

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

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.

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

Celery Potato Casserole

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:10:33 -0500

Lightened version of a quick side dish recipe found in Family Circle magazine - Oct. 17,2008 issue. The original used full-fat soup and sour cream as well as regular bacon. The soup, bacon and French-fried onions are already loaded with sodium so I think the additional salt could be omitted.. -- posted by SusieQusie

Turkey Sausage Wild Rice Stuffing

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:17:19 -0500

Another stuffing recipe, but a little different. I like to use the turkey sausages for this because they already have some seasoning in them. The apple and pecans really raise the flavor level of the dish. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:34:22 -0400

Twas the day after Thanksgiving and all through the house, the family was pleading with all of their might, "PLEASE, PLEASE NO MORE TURKEY TONIGHT!" If this little verse strikes a familiar cord, then turn your leftover turkey into this delicious entree, and I promise your family won't be complaining about eating turkey another night. Slices of turkey breast are garnished with a pumpkin chutney that is flavored with apples, currants, and warm spices. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Thanksgiving Leftovers: Harvest Turkey Bread Salad

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:23:34 -0400

This is a great panzanella bread salad using up those leftover pieces of turkey meat, rolls, and cranberries. Alternately, you could use Texas Toast croutons (from the store) or toast up some of the leftover rolls instead of using Italian bread. Thanks to the Taste Of Home folks for a great way to make the day after Thanksgiving as tasty as the Big Dinner. -- posted by Debber

Cristina Ferrare's Turkey

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:24:01 -0400

This will be the best turkey you ever have. I saw Cristina Ferrare making it on the Oprah Show. Oprah called it her favorite turkey. So I gave it a try and it was juicy and delicious. The cook time dose not include marination time. If you are making a larger/smaller turkey adjust cooking time and amount of marinade. -- posted by Maya's Mama

The Only Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe You'll Ever Need

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:13:01 -0400

It has taken several years and taking bits of pieces from here and there for me to make the perfect turkey, but It is so moist and has a wonderful flavor and always gets rave reviews. It's labot intensive but worth the effort in the end -- posted by GingerlyJ

Roast Turkey With Red Currant Jelly and Citrus Glaze

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:29:50 -0400

Every Thanksgiving for many years, we've experimented making different turkey recipes. This is one that the whole family enjoyed. Begin preparing the turkey a day ahead as it needs to soak overnight in brine, which makes the roasted bird exceptionally juicy. From Bon Appetit, May 2004. -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Prosciutto, Rosemary and Garlic

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:36:09 -0400

Every Thanksgiving, we've tried a different turkey recipe. This is a good one that we have tried. A mixture of prosciutto, rosemary and plenty of garlic rubbed under the skin of the turkey gives it a distinctively delicious taste. True garlic lovers can squeeze some of the pan-roasted garlic into the gravy for even more flavor. Begin the meal with an appetizer of chilled shrimp with lemon and dill, and offer a radicchio salad as a first course. Pour a Chianti Classico Riserva. From Bon Appetit, December 1995. -- posted by lazyme

Leftover Turkey & Fixin' Phyllo Packets

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:53:12 -0400

One year when I was a kid, my great-aunt Helen visited us for Thanksgiving. I have this memory of her and my mom in the kitchen having fun creating a clever way to "re-package" thanksgiving leftovers. I couldn't have been older than 6 or 8 years old but my mom never tried it again. As an adult the memory stuck with me and here is how it came out...its so easy! And you can substitute the ingredients with whatever left-overs suit your taste. -- posted by Melanie B.

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:57:44 -0400

From TOH Dec/Jan 2008 issue. I plan to try this with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I will probably add more turkey to this. The recipe says you can also add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo or kidney beans. -- posted by Ginny Sue

Slow-Roasted Turkey Breast With Gravy

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:57:14 -0500

This preparation will NOT produce a turkey breast with crispy skin. In fact, I normally remove the skin completely (and discard it) after the turkey has cooked. The meat comes out wonderfully moist and the gravy is out-of-this-world! -- posted by Cooking Ventures

Turkey Tenderloin With Cranberry Shallot Sauce

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:09:02 -0500

Recipe from Eating Well's November/December 2009 magazine; it is low carb and low calorie but packed full of flavor. This would be a great dish to serve on Thanksgiving - you'd still have turkey, but it would be cooked in a flash! They recommend serving it with a side of mashed sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and a glass of Reisling. -- posted by JanuaryBride
