Roast Turkey Breast With Cornbread Walnut Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and thyme. Blend well. Sprinkle and rub this mixture inside and outside the breast.
• Place breast skin side up in a roasting pan. Put onions on each side, and garlic cloves and bay leaf beneath the breast. Brush outside of breast with vegetable oil.
• Put breast in oven, and roast 15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil, add chicken broth and bake 15 minutes, basting a few times.
• Reduce heat to 425 degrees and remove foil. Continue roasting 15 minutes, basting a few times.
• Remove turkey breast from pan, and pour fat from the pan. Return breast skin side up, and add the broth around it. Continue roasting 10 minutes, basting twice.
• Remove from oven, cover with foil and let stand in a warm place 10 minutes before carving. Serve with dressing and pan gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
• Fill a large bowl with water and add the leeks, swish around with your hands to get the sand out from in between the layers. In a large saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil. Add the leeks, sprinkle with the thyme, salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, turning every now and then, until the leeks are softened but not colored. Remove the leeks from heat to cool.
• In a large bowl combine the leeks, cornbread, and chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
• Use a sharp, thin knife to cut down the length of the turkey cutting the breast parallel to the board, almost in half just stopping short of the outside edge. Open out the 2 halves as if you were opening a book. Now you've got a large piece of meat that will cook evenly and is thin enough to roll. Place 2 cups of the stuffing inside each of the breasts and then fold the turkey back over.
• Place the remaining stuffing in a small baking dish and cook alongside the turkey.
• Tie in 4 places with kitchen twine and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Put the turkey in the roasting pan and sear all over. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 25 minutes (internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Take the turkey out of the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut crosswise into slices.

Steps:

• To prepare stuffing:.
• Heat butter in a large saute pan over high heat until very hot.
• Add onion, scallions(or shallots), garlic, and celery, and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Add sherry and cook until only about 2 tablespoons of liquid are left, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, place French bread, cornbread, and rice in a large bowl and toss to mix.
• When onion mixture is room temperature, combine with the bread and rice mix.
• Add enough chicken stock to moisten the bread well.
• Add the eggs and mix well.
• Add the walnuts, thyme, oregano, sage, celery salt, salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To stuff turkey:.
• Lay out the turkey breast on a cuttin board.
• Spread the stuffing evenly on the turkey to 1/2" from the edge.
• Roll the breast up and tie securely with twine.
• Heat olive oil in a large saute pan until smoking hot.
• Put in a baking dish and roast in the oven about 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F.
• Allow to cool 2-3 minutes before removing the twine and slicing.
• Place on a pretty serving platter and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the figs, honey and lemon juice in a large bowl; add 3 cups warm water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until the figs are tender and soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Pour off the liquid into a separate bowl; set aside.
• Make the stuffing: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary and gently saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and saute until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape the sausage mixture into the bowl with the figs. Add the cornbread pieces and season well with salt and pepper. Give it a good toss until it's well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream and 1/2 cup stock; pour over the cornbread-sausage mixture and stir to combine, adding up to 1/2 cup more stock if the mixture is dry. Set aside while you work on the turkey.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse the turkey thoroughly inside and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Using your fingers, gently lift the skin from the turkey breast and massage the 1 stick softened butter onto the breast meat. Sprinkle the cavity and skin liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff the bird with the cornbread stuffing. Cross the legs over each other and tie with kitchen twine. Put the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan and place it in the oven. Roast 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Bring the reserved fig liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook until syrupy, about 8 more minutes. Cut up the remaining stick of butter and whisk it into the glaze.
• After the turkey has roasted 2 hours, baste it with the fig glaze and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, 30 minutes to 1 hour more. (If the legs or breast brown too quickly during roasting, cover them with foil.) Transfer the turkey to a platter or cutting board, loosely cover with foil and let rest up to 30 minutes before carving. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.

Steps:

• Make stuffing:
• Preheat oven to 425°F and grease 9-by 13-inch roasting pan.
• In large skillet over moderately high heat, melt butter. Add onion, celery, garlic, nutmeg, pepper, and bay leaf, and sauté until vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in sage and cook 30 seconds more. Stir in stock and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Put corn bread in large bowl and pour vegetables over. Toss to mix well. Add eggs and stir to combine.
• Make turkey:
• Rinse breast halves and pat dry. Season generously with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and rub all over with olive oil.
• Mound stuffing in center of roasting pan and arrange turkey on top, making sure breast halves aren't touching. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of turkey (do not touch bone) registers 170°F and juices run clear when pierced with fork, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Make gravy while turkey is roasting:
• In small saucepan over moderately high heat, combine demi-glace, 1/2 cup water, and brandy. Bring to boil, stirring until smooth. Stir in butter, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until gravy thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in cream and season with freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, over turkey and stuffing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together oil, salt, and white pepper; brush over turkey.
• Roast turkey on a rimmed baking sheet until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 140 degrees and climbing, about 30 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes. Slice turkey as needed. (Reserve pan drippings if making Turkey-Corn Salad.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; remove from heat. In large bowl, mix celery mixture and remaining stuffing ingredients until well blended.
• Stuff turkey just before roasting, not ahead of time. Fill wishbone area lightly with stuffing. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
• In small bowl, mix rosemary, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic; rub into turkey skin. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with 1/4 cup butter. Do not add water. Place meat thermometer in thickest part of inside thigh muscle so thermometer does not touch bone.
• Roast uncovered 4 to 5 hours, brushing with pan juices every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing should read 165°F.
• Place foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turns golden. When turkey is two-thirds done, cut band of skin, or remove string or skewer holding legs. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 20 minutes for easiest carving. While turkey is standing, prepare Foolproof Gravy if desired.
• To serve, garnish turkey with fresh herb sprigs, if desired.

Steps:

• In skillet, saute celery and onion in butter until tender.
• Place in a lg bowl with corn bread, fresh bread crumbs, sage and poultry seasoning.
• Mix eggs and chicken broth; add to dry mixture, stir gently to mix.
• Stuff the cavity and neck of turkey.
• Fasten openings.
• Tie legs together.
• Place on rack in roasting pan.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Bake at 325* for 4 hours (cover with a foil tent), or until turkey tests done.
• Let stand for 20 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with only one rack in the lowest position. Stir together melted butter and wine in a bowl. Fold a very large piece of cheesecloth into quarters so that it is large enough to cover breast and halfway down sides of turkey. Immerse cloth in butter mixture.
• Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Fold wing tips under. Season inside turkey with salt and pepper. Loosely fill body and neck cavities with stuffing. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Fold neck flap under; secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey all over with the 4 tablespoons softened butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Remove cheesecloth from butter mixture, squeezing gently into bowl; reserve butter mixture for brushing. Lay cheesecloth over turkey. Place turkey, legs first, into oven. Roast 30 minutes. Brush cheesecloth and exposed turkey with butter mixture. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Roast, brushing with butter mixture every 30 minutes and rotating once, 2 1/2 hours; tent with foil if browning too quickly. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan if juices are very dark brown.
• Discard cheesecloth; rotate pan. Baste turkey with pan juices. Roast, rotating pan halfway through, until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (and the stuffing) registers 165 degrees, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, basting turkey every 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Let turkey stand at room temperature 30 minutes, tented with foil, before carving. Garnish with herbs if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix 1/4 cup butter, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place turkey breast with skin side up into a roasting pan. Loosen skin with your fingers; brush half the butter mixture over the turkey breast and underneath the skin. Reserve remaining butter mixture. Tent turkey breast loosely with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste turkey breast with remaining butter mixture. Return to oven and roast until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, not touching bone, reads 165 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 more minutes. Let turkey breast rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
• While turkey is resting, transfer pan drippings to a skillet. Skim off excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in skillet. Place skillet over low heat; cook and stir shallot in turkey grease until opaque, about 5 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet with shallot and whisk in white wine, scraping any browned bits of food from skillet. Whisk in chicken stock and flour until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened. For a creamier, lighter gravy, whisk in half-and-half.
