Turkey Paupiettes With Chestnuts And Brussels Sprouts Recipes

Steps:

• Combine rice wine or sherry, stock and soy sauce in a small bowl. Place all ingredients within reach of stove.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or 2 when added to the pan. Add oil to pan and swirl it around.
• Immediately add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add white and light green parts of scallions and bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add turkey and broth mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and stir-fry for another 30 seconds to a minute.
• Add cilantro, toss together, and sprinkle with green scallion ends. Remove from heat and serve with grains or noodles.

Steps:

• Score the flat side of each chestnut with an X. Place the chestnuts into a large pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove chestnuts from the pot. Allow to cool slightly, then peel outer shell and brown skin. Return chestnuts to the pot and continue to boil over medium heat until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring another large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts, and cook uncovered until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the Brussels sprouts are cold, drain well, and set aside.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots; cook and stir until the shallots has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chestnuts and Brussels sprouts. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue cooking and stirring until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• With a sharp knife, score each chestnut 1/4-inch deep all around. Arrange them in one layer in a baking pan and roast for 20 minutes, or until shells have just opened. Peel off both layers of skin with a knife while the nuts are still hot. In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook the Brussels sprouts for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and refresh with cold water. Then thinly slice the cooled Brussels sprouts.
• In a large skillet set over moderately high heat, melt the butter, add the shallots and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the chestnuts, Brussels sprouts, herbs, and salt and pepper, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then tip in 1 ¼ kg trimmed Brussels sprouts. Once back to the boil, cook for 5 mins. Drain, run under the cold tap until cold, then drain again.
• Heat a large frying pan, add 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces, and gently fry for 10 mins until crisp and golden.
• Tip out of the pan, leaving the fat behind, then add 200g chestnuts and fry over a high heat for about 5 mins until tinged. Tip out of the pan.
• Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with a splash of water, then cover and finish cooking over a medium heat for about 5 mins, stirring now and again, until just tender.
• Uncover, turn up the heat, then add most of the 50g butter and sauté the sprouts for 2 mins more.
• Tip in the bacon and chestnuts, season generously with salt and pepper, then serve with the last knob of butter on top.

Steps:

• Boil a pan of water, add the sprouts and blanch for 6 mins. Drain and cool quickly under the cold tap or in iced water. To get ahead, pack into a plastic food bag and chill overnight.
• On the day, heat the goose fat in a large wok and add the sage and chestnuts. Cook for a few mins over the heat, add the sprouts, season and stir-fry until piping hot.

Steps:

• Prepare the sprouts by trimming the outer leaves and cutting a cross in the stem. Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan and add the chestnuts.
• Pour in the stock, cover, and simmer slowly for 20 minutes or until tender. Add the sprouts and add more stock if necessary, barely to cover.
• Replace the lid and cook for five to 10 minutes or until tender. Correct seasoning and serve.

Steps:

• Slice the turkey breast, lengthwise, into 4 roughly equal scaloppines. Place them between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they are as thin as possible without breaking.
• In a saute pan heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high flame and cook the apples and onion for 5 minutes. Add the coriander and parsley and cook 3 more minutes.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the stuffing on each turkey scaloppine. Fold up the filets as if you were wrapping a package, overlapping the edges. Tie them with kitchen thread.
• In a wide, deep saucepan or casserole, heat remaining butter and oil over high heat. Sear the meat on all sides. Remove meat, lower flame to medium and add carrots, celery and onion. Saute vegetables until light brown but not burned. Pour in chicken stock and wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up particles with a wooden spoon.
• Add the meat, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook, covered, for 25 minutes.
• Remove meat from pan, cut off thread. Reduce cooking liquid by half. Strain and return to heat. Add cream and curry and reduce by two-thirds while stirring constantly. Adjust seasoning if desired. Pour over meat.
