Mustard Plaster Turkey With Mashed Potato Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook until tender and translucent, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped sage and 3 tablespoons of the flour, then continue to cook until the flour is completely absorbed into the butter mixture and lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. While continually stirring, gradually pour in the milk and continue to cook until a thick bechamel forms, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat, then stir in the turkey, mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set up a 3-stage breading station by placing the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl or baking dish, the eggs in a separate shallow bowl or baking dish and finally the panko in a third shallow bowl or baking dish. Season each with a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, divide the chilled filling into about 18 pieces. Roll into uniform balls and/or 2 1/2-inch-long batons. Coat each piece in the flour, shaking the excess off, then dip in the egg to coat. Finally, dip and press into the panko, turning until evenly coated.
• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with enough oil to go 2 inches up the sides and insert a deep-frying thermometer. Set the oil over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F. Working in 2 batches, deep-fry the croquettes until deep golden brown and heated through, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. Fry the whole sage leaves until crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on the paper towel line plate as well. Serve with cranberry sauce and turkey gravy for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Revove neck and giblets from turkey and rinse bird. Dry, tuck back wings, and set aside.
• Melt 7T. butter and cook onions till soft. Pour over mashed potatoes.
• Add sage, 1T. salt, 1/2t. pepper, and 1/2 t. mustard to potatoes. Mix well.
• Potatoes can be kept warm and served alongside bird OR you can line the inside cavity of the bird with cheesecloth (double it over for added strength) and cook stuffing in the cavity of the bird. Make sure to tie legs if doing so.
• Mix 8T. softened butter with 2T. mustard, 1T. salt, 1/2 t. pepper, and 3T. flour and spread over breast and legs of turkey (the husband likes to double the plaster and spread over the entire bird. If doing so, it helps the plaster stick if you lightly dust the entire bird with flour first.).
• Criss-cross bacon over breast if desired.
• Bake until thermomter registers 160 degrees in breast and thigh (start checking at 3 hours).
• Let rest 5 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the potatoes and crumbs; set aside. In a skillet, saute onions in butter until tender; add to potato mixture. Stir in egg substitute, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. , Just before baking, stuff turkey. Skewer and fasten openings. Tie drumsticks together. Place with breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-3/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180° for the turkey and 165° for the stuffing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place potatoes on a baking sheet; rub with canola oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scrape flesh into the bowl of a stand mixer, being careful not to tear the skin. Leave a small rim of flesh in the skin intact. Place hollowed-out potato skins back on the baking sheet.
• Beat butter, gravy, cream cheese, salt, and pepper into the potato flesh on low speed. Add 1 cup Cheddar cheese; mix for a few seconds. Remove bowl from the stand mixer; fold in turkey, stuffing, and green onions using a spatula.
• Fill potato skins with the mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on top.
• Return to the oven; bake until warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Remove turkey from refrigerator and let stand for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Place rack on lowest level in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and white wine. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth into quarters; cut it into a 17-inch, four-layer square. Immerse cheesecloth in the butter-and-wine mixture, and let soak.
• Working on a large piece of parchment paper, fold wing tips under turkey. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper inside turkey. Fill large cavity and neck cavity loosely with as much stuffing as they hold comfortably -- do not pack tightly. (Cook remaining stuffing in a buttered baking dish for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.) Fold neck flap under, and secure with toothpicks. Tie legs together loosely with kitchen string (a bow is easy to undo later; it is not necessary to make a tight knot). Rub turkey all over with the softened butter.
• In a heavy, metal roasting pan (sides should be 2 to 3 inches high), place parsnip, onion, celery, carrots, celeriac, and white turnip. Place roasting rack on top of vegetables, then place turkey, breast side up, on roasting rack. Sprinkle turkey with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
• Lift cheesecloth out of liquid, and gently squeeze it, leaving it very damp. Spread folded square of cheesecloth evenly over breast and about halfway down sides of turkey; it can cover some of leg area. Place turkey, legs first, in oven. Cook for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, baste cheesecloth and all exposed parts of turkey with butter-and-wine mixture. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Cook 2 1/2 more hours, basting with pastry brush every 30 minutes and watching the pan juices; if pan is getting too full, spoon out juices so level remains below the rack.
• After this third hour of cooking, remove and discard cheesecloth. Turn roasting pan so the breast faces back of oven. Baste turkey with juices that have collected in bottom of pan. If there are not enough juices, continue to use the butter-and-wine mixture. The skin gets fragile as it browns, so baste carefully, particularly over the breast. Cook another hour, basting every 30 minutes. If some areas of the bird start getting too brown, cover those areas loosely with aluminum foil.
• After fourth hour of cooking, insert an instant-read thermometer into thickest part of thigh. Do not poke into a bone. The thermometer should reach at least 180 degrees and the turkey should be golden brown. The breast does not need to be checked for temperature. If turkey is not golden brown or the thigh meat does not register 180 degrees, baste turkey, return to oven, and cook another 20 to 30 minutes. Insert the instant-read thermometer into the center of the stuffing. Temperature should read from 140 degrees to 160 degrees.
• When fully cooked, transfer the turkey to a serving platter, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Make gravy using the vegetables while the turkey rests.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet.
• Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until light brown, stirring frequently.
• Add jelly and heat for 1 minute longer or until golden brown.
• Spray a 4-6 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place stuffing mix in prepared cooker.
• Drizzle with water and mix gently.
• Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper and place on stuffing mix.
• Spoon onion mixture over turkey and spread evenly.
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the celery and onion in the butter until the onion has turned translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold into the mashed potatoes along with the savory, and allow to cool until just warm.
• Place the cooled mashed potatoes into a large bowl, and stir in the beaten egg. Gently fold in cubed bread, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Use as a stuffing for turkey, or bake in buttered loaf pans at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• For turkey:
• Coarsely puree first 7 ingredients in processor. Reserve 1/2 cup mustard mixture in bowl; cover and chill.
• Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Slide hand under skin of turkey breast, legs and thighs to loosen skin. Using hand, spread 1 cup mustard mixture under skin over turkey breast, legs and thighs. Spread remaining mustard mixture inside main cavity. Place turkey on rack in large roasting pan. Slide pan with turkey into large plastic bag (about 30-gallon capacity). Close bag; refrigerate turkey at least 1 day and up to 2 days.
• Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 325°F. Remove pan with turkey from bag. If stuffing turkey, spoon stuffing loosely into main cavity. Tuck wing tips under turkey; tie legs together loosely. Spread 1/2 cup chilled mustard mixture all over turkey. Roast 2 hours. Baste with 1/2 cup broth. Continue to roast until turkey is brown and thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, basting frequently with remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and pan juices and covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 30 minutes longer if unstuffed and 2 hours longer if stuffed.
• Transfer turkey to platter. Tent loosely with foil; let stand 30 minutes. Reserve pan juices for gravy.
• For gravy:
• Pour pan juices into large measuring cup. Spoon off fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. Heat 2 tablespoons turkey fat in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms to skillet; sauté until brown and tender, about 15 minutes. Add enough broth to pan juices to measure 3 1/2 cups. Add 3 1/2 cups pan-juice mixture and cream to mushrooms. Boil 8 minutes to blend flavors. Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup broth in small bowl. Mix into gravy. Continue to boil until gravy thickens, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve turkey with gravy.
