Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with Pan Gravy


Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray


See this recipe on air Friday Nov. 16 at 3:00 AM ET/PT.


Although sage is the herb most used with turkey, I love the flavor and aroma of fresh bay (laurel) leaves. Fresh bay leaves are now widely available in supermarkets. Since the leaves are a bit woody, and no fun to eat, I baste my turkey with bay-infused butter and roast the breasts right on top of the leaves, which perfumes the meat.





1 small (golf-ball sized) onion, peeled and coarsely chopped


1 lemon, scrubbed clean


12 fresh sage leaves


Large handful fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1/2 cup, from 12 stems)


3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling pan


1 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed


6 fresh bay leaves


4 tablespoons butter


2 boneless turkey breast halves, skin on (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds each)


Freshly ground black pepper


3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


1/4 cup apple or regular brandy (recommended: Calvados)


2 to 3 cups apple cider


Salt and pepper





Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Oil a roasting pan and set it aside.





Put the onion into the bowl of a mini food processor. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from the lemon in thin strips, being careful not to cut into the bitter white pith. Add the lemon zest to the food processor and reserve the whole lemon for another use. Chop the onion and lemon zest until fine. Add the sage, parsley, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until it forms a coarse paste.





Put 2 of the bay leaves and the butter into a small pan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is bubbling. Remove from the heat and set aside.





Put the turkey breasts on a work surface. Carefully run your fingers between the skin and the flesh from 1 end, being careful not to pull it completely off, creating a pocket. Season the turkey breasts generously with salt and pepper. Stuff half of the herb paste under the skin of each breast, and spread it evenly under the skin. Transfer the breasts to the roasting pan, and slide 2 bay leaves underneath each one. (The heat of the pan will release the bay leaf oils and flavor the breast.) Using a pastry brush, baste the breasts with half of the bay butter. Place the turkey in the oven and immediately decrease the temperature to 400 degrees F. After 20 minutes, baste the turkey breasts with the remaining butter, and roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through, and a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the breast registers 170 degrees F.





Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving while you make the gravy.





Put the roasting pan over the burner on medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the pan juices, and cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Add the apple brandy, and scrape the pan to lift the bits that are stuck to the bottom. Cook for a minute to burn off the alcohol, then, while stirring, pour in the apple cider. Bring to a simmer, and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.





Slice the turkey breast on the diagonal, and serve with warm gravy.Rachel had a recipe for turkey breast with apple cider gravy on 30 minute meals Sat. Nov. 11th.?

2 teaspoons ground black pepper


1 teaspoon dried basil


½ teaspoon dried pepper flakes


Pinch nutmeg





Yield: about 16 golf-ball sized meatballs





Combine all ingredients and stir thoroughly with a fork.


Bake at 425F for 25 minutes or fry as desired.





To freeze: place raw meatballs on cookie sheet, 1 inch apart and freeze one hour. Pop the frozen meatballs off the tray and place in a zipper-type baggie. Roll up and return to freezer. To use, bake from frozen at 425F for 30 minutes.
Terrific Turkey Chili --








INGREDIENTS


3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided


1 1/2 pounds ground turkey


1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix


1 teaspoon ground coriander


1 teaspoon dried oregano


1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes


2 tablespoons tomato paste


1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth


1 (7 ounce) can salsa


1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree


1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers


1 medium onion, finely chopped


1 green bell pepper, diced


3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced


1 bunch green onions, chopped


1 cup sour cream


1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese











DIRECTIONS


Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.





Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.





While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.





In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.





Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

I like to make shepherd's pie with ground turkey, and this is how I make it:





Brown the turkey. Add some chopped onion and garlic (if you like onion and garlic) or other small vegetable pieces that you happen to have. Diced carrots, corn, peas, and chopped celery are all good. You can leave the veggies out too if you want. Add salt and pepper to taste and a bit of tomato paste if you happen to have any. While you're doing this make some mashed potatoes, either fresh or from a package depending on what you like. Add some grated cheese to the mashed potatoes. Put the turkey mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish and the potatoes on top. Bake at 350 F for 20-30 min, until the potatoes start to form a crust on top. Enjoy! This is a really flexible recipe and the quantities don't really matter. It just depends on what you have and what you like.
I made this once and it was good, but not special. When I do it again I think I will add some poultry seasoning to it. Good luck.





Turkey Marsala Casserole





• 2 medium onions, chopped


• 3 cloves garlic, minced


• 20 ounce package of ground turkey breast


• 1 T olive oil


• Salt and pepper (don’t be shy here)





• 16 ounce box elbow macaroni





• 14 ounce can beef broth


• ¾ cup Marsala wine


• ½ cup flour


• ½ cup water





• 4 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, chopped





• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided








Preheat the oven to 375





Boil the macaroni in plenty of boiling water, to package instructions, but leaving a little on the “al dente” firm side. Drain.





Meanwhile, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil, with salt and pepper, until meat is cooked and onion is tender. Drain.





Bring beef broth and Marsala wine to a boil. Mix flour and water together and add slowly to liquid, whisking and returning to a boil after each time you add some. You want to thicken the mixture to a consistency of gravy.





Mix the meat mixture, the broth, the macaroni, the peppers, ½ cup of the cheese together. Load into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and put into the preheated oven for an hour.





Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and heat for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
I have found that you can use ground turkey with great success in any recipe calling for ground beef, with the exception, of course, of hamburgers. You may want to adjust the seaoning a bit and add a wee bit of salt. By the way, if you're moving to ground turkey to cut calories and fat you MUST read the label -- skinless white meat is way down on fat and calories, but other ground turkey is almost the same as ground beef!
You can make meat balls if you like.





Add some cracker crumbs, one egg, some soy sauce, fresh ground ginger, splash of hot sauce, dried oregano, salt, pepper--and make them into meat balls.





Fry those in a pan with some very hot olive oil--keep turning them so they're cooked on all areas.





You can make an accompanying sauce of your choice--something Asian goes well..maybe with orange juice (or a spoonful of marmalade is good too in lieu of the orange juice) and more ground ginger base and one chicken boullion cube for flavor--add a little water--you can also add the drippings from the fry pan where you cooked the meatballs--sans the grease).bring it to a light boil then turn heat down.....reduce that and add some corn starch to thicken--(not too much...add a bit at a time and keep cooking it on low till it thickens....)





Then serve those meatballs on a bed of white rice--spoon on some gravy and a side dish of green beans and a sundried and fresh boconcinni salad on the side.--%26gt;%26gt;


You make that salad with the cheese and fresh basil, olive oil, lemon juice, capers,chopped garlic, salt, pepper and soy sauce.

I make meatloaf with turkey! I like it better that way! Just get 1 lb ground turkey, 1 egg, about 3/4 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs, a little ketchup (to make it moist), garlic (and onion if your family likes it) and salt and pepper. I also grate 1/2 cup (or more) zucchini in also to sneak a little nutrition in! Mix well with your hands and form into a loaf and put in pan (some people like it in a loaf pan but I like it to get crispy on the top and the sides so I do it in a 9x13. Bake at 350 about 45 mins to 1 hour depending on your oven. YUM!
Turkey Croquettes- These are really good especially if you put turkey gravy over top of them when you are ready to eat.

2. Dice cooked chicken. Place in mixing bowl and add milk sauce and 1 well beaten egg.





3. Mix in cracker crumbs until solid (so that you can make croquette balls).





4. Roll balls in cracker crumbs - refrigerate.





5. Bake at 350 degrees until done.

  • I have used turkey from Christmas in a recipe. How long will this stay fresh now?

    I used cooked turkey from Christmas in another recipe. There is some of this left over and I am concerned about it's freshness. I made it last night. Can I keep it to use tommorrow?I have used turkey from Christmas in a recipe. How long will this stay fresh now?
    After the turkey is cooked, I say throw it out after 3 days have passed. I don't think its worth it to take a chance on getting sick. Plus it's not that tasty once its no longer fresh. But you definitely have a good 3 days to eat it as long as you haven't left it out of the fridge too long.





    You can always freeze some and thaw it when your ready eat it but once it's thawed you shouldn't re-freeze it.I have used turkey from Christmas in a recipe. How long will this stay fresh now?
    I wouldn't go more than a week in the fridge. Even a week is pushing it a little bit. I Like 5 days better as my max.





    Chef Mark
    Sure. Keep it airtight in the fridge. It should be okay for 2 or 3 days, since it is cooked.

    Vegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?

    Ok this is my first holiday season being a vegetarian and i obviously i need some recipes lol mainly a turkey recipe and by turkey i mean some type of substitute for turkey like tofu or whatever





    - so if anyone has any vegetarian turkey recipes for me, that would be wicked thanks so much in advancedVegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?
    I am sure lots of people have great recipes for tofurkey, etc. If you research back in Yahoo Answers, you will find many of them over the past few weeks. I have not made any of them. But one thing I do make ever year is Mushroom Gravy (recipe below), and a pot of vegetarian stuffing. Then I can usually eat the rest of the items on the table - mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls, etc. The only thing I can't eat is the turkey. This gravy is delicious! Sometimes I also make a vegetable pot pie. This year I'm making Onion and Mushroom marmalade tartlets.





    Here is the gravy recipe:


    Mushroom Rosemary Gravy








    6 Tbsp flour


    7 Tbsp olive oil


    1/4 cup onion, diced


    1/4 cup carrot, diced


    1/4 cup celery, diced


    2 tsp dried rosemary


    1 tsp dried thyme


    1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced


    3 cups vegetable stock


    2 Tbsp soy sauce


    1/2 tsp honey


    salt and pepper to taste








    1. Saut茅 mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil until browned and liquid is evaporated. Set aside.


    2. Make a roux by heating 6 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet at medium/high heat. Add 6 tablespoons of flour, one at a time, stirring constantly. Cook 5 to 7 minutes until flour is lightly browned.


    3. Add onion, carrots, celery, and dried spices to roux. Lower heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.


    4. Slowly stir in the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, blending as you go. Add soy sauce, honey, and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 15 minutes over medium/low heat until sauce is thickened.





    ________________





    Mushroom and Onion Marmalade Tartlets





    2 Tablespoons olive oil


    1 large onion, chopped finely


    1 陆 cups finely chopped or sliced mushrooms


    1 Tablespoon sugar


    Leaves from 2-3 sprigs of thyme


    12 slices medium-sliced white bread


    Unsalted butter, for spreading


    2 陆 cups grated Gruyere or mature Cheddar cheese


    Kosher salt or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper








    You will need a 2-inch glass or plain cookie cutter


    2 nonstick, 12-cup bun pand or shallow muffin pans








    Heat the olive oil in a skillet, and add the onions, and saut茅 until softened and lightly golden. Sprinkle the sugar on top and season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook over a high heat until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes





    Using the top of the glass or cookie cutter, stamp out circles from the bread. (The glass flattens the bread at the edges, which will make the tartlets crisper.) Lightly spread butter on one side of each circle, then use to line the pan, butter side down, and press firmly into place.





    Put teaspoonfuls of the mushroom mixture in the bread cops and top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 425掳F for about 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve hot. Alternatively, let cool, then warm through before serving.





    Vegetarian Turkey?!?!?! aka tofu recipes?
    Make first a broth of something like: Ingredients





    * Water (enough to cover turkey)


    * honey (go liberal on this!)


    * Seasoning salt


    * Olive oil (little)


    * garlic powder (liberal)


    * 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and quartered


    * 2 celery


    * 2 carrots


    * Parsley


    * rosemary, thyme


    (I cant tell you measures because I dont know how much tofurky you are using)





    but TASTE your broth before you cover your veggie meat with it please!





    Then





    Place the thawed tofurky in the oven to get a little heat....then take the broth and pour it over the turkey and put it in the oven for like 45 minutes to an hour on 350....Make sure the broth is covering the tofurky completely so it can absorb the taste of the broth...





    Then take out and let it room temp.





    Place in fridge over night (since veggie meat isnt just ';done)





    Then in the morning, place back in oven with broth still on it until well heated.





    Drain broth if you want or leave it on....but serve up the tofurky....





    ps. You can get a role of Veggie Turkey at any Adventist Book Center in your area around this time. They sale it as a big role, so your whole family can enjoy it....it is tough like turkey once you bake it, and it takes on a really good taste when you make holes in it and put the broth on it and let it simmer....
    i hate to tell you this, but once i had a tofu burger and it SUCKED.

    SIMPLE PERFECT ROAST TURKEY





    INGREDIENTS


    1 (18 pound) whole turkey


    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened


    salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


    1 1/2 quarts turkey stock


    8 cups prepared stuffing


    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.


    Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.


    Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 4 hours.


    Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
    wash the turkey with veniger and leaf to drain,afterwards cut straigth lines on the bird and rub in the peast of spaice you have.but make sue that there is either onions or garlic in the peast of spaice and leaf to absolve it in then add vegitable oli to it and then steam for about 30 to 40 mins.
    Grab a large tub of butter and a spatula, coat turkey with butter with 1/2 of the tub. Depending on how large your turkey is you will need to add water to the pan. Smallest turkey at least 2 cups to start. after turkey is coated with butter sprinkle poultry seasoning allover. Pre-heat oven 350. If you start your turkey at 9 am it should be done by 1-2 pm. You'll want to baste your turkey and hour after you put it in the oven and constantly every half hour to 45 min's after that adding butter to turkey every time. You should come out with a deliciously moist golden Turkey.
    Easiest way I have eaver done it is to butter the skin, sprinkle with oultry seasoning.





    Pop it in a pre-heated 500 degree oven before going to bed, turn the oven off once you pop it in and go to bed and forget about it.

    mommamia2 has it right with the most complete instructions. the only thing is that you might be able to answer all your cooking questions by buying the best cook book i have used.the Fannie Farmers cook book. no frills no b/s just straight forward old fashioned cooking.mine is old (circa 1950) but the new ones are just as good.i taught four kids to cook from it and they are all good cooks..Happy Thanksgiving!!
