TURKEY HASH

TURKEY HASH ...another great turkey recipe to try ! Nice one !

INGREDIENTS

• 1-lb of turkey burger
• 1- box of frozen petite peas
• 1- jar of mushrooms
• 4-5 red potatoes (depending on size)
• garlic powder
• salt & pepper
• flour 3-4 tablespoons
• water 2-3 cups

INSTRUCTIONS
First brown turkey burger with spices. Don't be stingy with spices but don't go crazy. Cook meat so it's almost a little crispy, but not much.As burger is cooking, wash and slice red potatoes thinly.
Meanwhile, allow frozen peas defrost.Once the meat is cooked, add the flour and coat the turkey meat well. This will make a great gravy if you put in the flour now, but if you wait and put it in after adding water, it will be lumpy!

After that is done, add water. Next, add sliced potatoes as the cooked starch from the potatoes and the flour is what makes the gravy.This will take some time, so be patient. As the water turns to gravy, add the peas and mushrooms at the very end. You can adjust the amount of potatoes you use based on your families needs. The great turkey recipe is ready to serve...Enjoy the feasts !

ROAST TURKEY RUB

ROAST TURKEY RUB ...a nice Turkey recipe...try this one ! Great !

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 lb lean salt pork
• 5 large cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh celery leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
• 3-4 fresh sage leaves

INSTRUCTIONS
You will need a heavy cleaver and a large cutting board for this preparation. Alternatively, a meat chopper or food processor may also be used to mince all ingredients to a spreadable paste.

For ease of preparation, purchase salt pork which has already been sliced into strips. Otherwise, cut the salt pork into strips yourself. Next, cut across the strips and continue to cut into smaller cubes until salt pork pieces are about 1/8 inch.

Peel garlic cloves. Mash with the side of the cleaver and add to salt pork. Sprinkle salt pork with salt. Begin to chop with cleaver, scooping edges into the center and turning over the mass. Remove stems from parsley and sage; toss over top along with the celery leaves and hot pepper.

Continue to chop until all of the pork is evenly chopped and has become a fine paste.Use this as a rub for roast turkey, placing small amounts under the skin of the breast for extra moistness. Pile a small amount over the top to melt down during the roasting, which will make for a self-basting turkey. Sprinkle the turkey lightly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprika before roasting, if desired.
The drippings remaining at the bottom of the pan after the turkey is roasted will make for the most flavorful gravy ever!

This salt pork preparation can also be sautéed as a starter for side dishes, such as pan fried mushrooms, spinach, green beans, stock or soup. When using for dishes other than roast turkey, you may choose to omit the sage. The turkey recipe is ready....enjoy the feast !

TURKEY BRINE

TURKEY BRINE

INGREDIENTS

• 4 quarts water (24 cups)
• 3 1/2 cups kosher or sea salt
• 4 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons cracked peppercorns
• 7-8 cloves garlic
• 5 bay leaves, crumbled coarsely

INSTRUCTIONS
Wash and dry a cooler which is large enough to hold the turkey you will be placing in the brine. (Or use a food grade plastic bag made for the purpose, available at your supermarket; this method will require only half the amount of brine.)

Prepare brine by combining ingredients in a stainless steel or enamel pan (do not use aluminum). Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar and salt are dissolved. Allow brine too cool. Pour into cooler (or bag, if using).

Add 2-3 quarts of ice; enough to bring the temperature of the brine to about 35F degrees. (Or, if using a plastic bag, add 1 1/2 quarts cold water and refrigerate the brine until it reaches this temperature.)Remove giblets, neck, etc. from inside turkey and refrigerate to use later on for making gravy, stuffing, or broth. Wash turkey well, inside and out. Rub inside of turkey liberally with additional kosher or sea salt.

Prepare sufficient brine to submerge turkey entirely. Recipe may be doubled, if required (or halved, if using a plastic bag for the brining).When the brine is cold, add the turkey to the cooler or plastic bag. Keep the turkey cold (35F or below). This can be accomplished by adding ice, or placing the cooler or plastic bag in a cold place. Check temperature to be sure it does not go above 40F. (Note: A frozen turkey can be brined until it has thawed).

When ready to roast the turkey, remove from brine and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Rub turkey skin with 2 tablespoons melted butter combined with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Bacon drippings can be added for extra flavor. Sprinkle turkey with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. The turkey recipe is ready...enjoy it !
