Spicy Turkey Samosas With Cranberry And Pepper Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients in sauce pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until desired consistency, about 40 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the samosa dough:
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the shortening and use a pastry blender or 2 forks to cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Gradually add the water in 3 batches and use the pastry blender or forks to gently work it into the dough (the dough will be shaggy at first). Transfer to a work surface, and knead the dough until it's hydrated and starting to smooth out, about 5 minutes (the surface of the dough will still appear shaggy; it will smooth out during resting). Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• While the dough is resting, make the samosa filling:
• In a heavy large saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, garam masala, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry powder and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mustard seeds begin to pop and the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, and hot chiles and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and set aside to let cool before filling the samosas.
• Fill the samosas:
• Divide the samosa dough into 6 equal parts and roll each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle that measures about 8 inches across and is about 1/8 inch thick. DO AHEAD: The circles of samosa dough can be made ahead, layered between sheets of wax paper, wrapped in a double layer of plastic, and refrigerated for 24 hours or frozen up to 3 months. Defrost before using.
• Cut the dough circles in half, so that there are 12 semicircles. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the flat edge of 1 semicircle with water then fold 1 corner up and over middle. Fold the second corner over to make a triangle, and pinch the corners of the triangle to seal (leave the rounded side open). Hold the triangle in your hand with the open rounded side facing up and let dough fall open to make a cone. Fill with 1/4 cup filling, lightly brush the remaining open edge of the dough with water and then pinch along the rounded side to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. DO AHEAD: Filled samosas can be frozen, well wrapped in plastic, up to 3 months. Fry them from a partially defrosted state.
• Fry the samosas:
• Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a heavy large saucepan or Dutch oven over moderate heat, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325°F. Working in batches, fry the samosas until dark golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain and cool. Continue to fry the remaining samosas, returning the oil to 325°F between batches. Serve hot with the Cilantro-Mint Chutney and/or the mango Chutney, if desired.

Steps:

• Make the Pastry: Combine the flour and kosher salt in a large bowl. Rub the grapeseed oil into the flour until incorporated. Add the ajwain and nigella seeds. Gradually add the water, mixing after each pour, until a smooth dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes. Drizzle the bowl with oil; turn the dough to coat. Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside on the counter.
• Make the Filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the red onion, serrano, ginger and turmeric in the grapeseed oil until softened and slightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and peas; cook just until the peas are thawed, a couple of minutes. Season with kosher salt.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the potato and turkey; sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro. Stir, then taste for seasoning.
• Make the Samosas: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a dutch oven over medium heat until the oil reaches 375˚ F on a deep-fry thermometer. Meanwhile, divide the dough into 9 balls. Roll out each into a 5- to 6-inch round on a floured surface. Slice each round into 2 semicircles. Wet the straight edge of a semicircle with a little water, then position the semicircle with the straight edge facing away from you.
• Place 2 teaspoons filling in the middle of the semicircle. Fold one corner over the filling, forming a triangle; fold in the other corner to make a cone. Seal the ends with water, pinching and folding the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining semicircles and filling.
• Working in batches, fry the samosas until golden brown, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a rack set on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Make the Chutney: In a blender, puree cilantro, mint leaves, scallions, garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, lime and lemon juice, and chile. Add crème fraîche and blend until incorporated.
• Serve the samosas hot or at room temperature with the chutney.

Steps:

• Prepare the smoker. In a large mixing bowl, add the turkey. In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together. Mix well. Toss the turkey with the seasoning blend and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Grind the meat twice in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/2-inch die. A food processor could also be used to grind the meat. Stuff half of the mixture into 1 1/2-inch casings, forming 6-inch links. Form the remaining into 3 (1/2 pound) patties. You can either use the sausage fresh or smoke the sausage. For the smoked sausage: Place the sausage in the smoker and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook shallot in butter in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries have burst and chutney is thickened, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, ginger, salt, sage, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well blended.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Form the turkey sausage into patties, and fry until browned on both sides, and no longer pink in the center. This should take about 15 minutes.
