Turkey Roulade With Swiss Chard Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the stems into 1-inch pieces and reserve. Stack the chard leaves into a pile. Roll together into a bundle and slice into 1/2-inch ribbons.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until browned, rendering the fat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the red pepper flakes and the chard stems, cook for 3 to 4 minutes and then season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to add the chard ribbons in batches. Once the chard wilts down, add the next batch. Stir occasionally until completely tender, about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and serve.

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Position a rack in a roasting pan.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, fennel and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until browned through, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and rosemary and cook for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze the skillet with a splash of brandy, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
• Combine the sausage/veggie mix, stuffing mix, chicken stock and egg in a large bowl and stir together. Lay the turkey breast flat and season with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing mixture in an even layer, then tightly roll the turkey breast. Tie the roll with kitchen twine--approximately 4 to 6 ties evenly spaced
• Rub the remaining 4 tablespoons softened butter all over the surface, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put on the rack in the roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and crispy and a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roulade reaches 155 degrees F, another 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let rest while you make the gravy.
• For the gravy: Set the roasting pan over a burner over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the drippings to form a paste and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, turn off the heat and add the brandy to the pan. Turn the heat back on and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice and serve with the gravy!

Steps:

• Rinse chard; separate stems from leaves. Cut stems into 2-inch pieces; cut leaves crosswise into 1-inch strips. To a saucepan add 2 teaspoons melted butter. Add stems to pan; saute about 5 minutes. Add leaves; cook another 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 teaspoons butter and pepper. Mound in center of serving plate and drizzle with vinegar or lemon juice.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain the rice and transfer to a large bowl, then bring a fresh pot of water to a boil. Drop the chard into the boiling water and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, then squeeze dry and chop. Mix the chard and pancetta into the rice. Chop the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a fine paste using a knife or a mini chopper. Add to the chard-rice mixture along with the cheese, scallions, basil, parsley, lemon zest, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the eggs and stir to combine. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the skin from the turkey breast in one piece and reserve. Place the meat smooth-side down on a cutting board and butterfly it: Slice down the middle of the breast with a sharp knife, but do not cut all the way through. Open the turkey like a book. Sprinkle the meat with a teaspoon of cold water and cover with plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a mallet, or a rolling pin, pound the meat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Season with salt and pepper, then pile the chard stuffing down the center of the rectangle, packing it into a tight log. Fold the meat over the filling, overlapping the sides slightly. Stretch the turkey skin over the roulade to cover the seam and tie the roll at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Fold in the ends and tie the roll lengthwise to seal. Place the meat skin-side up on a rack in a shallow baking dish. Brush with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour the wine and 2 cups water into the dish and roast until a thermometer inserted into the roll registers 160 and the skin is golden and crisp, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the pan juices. Remove the twine and slice the roll into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Serve with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
• Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, breaking the meat up into smaller pieces. Season with the sage and thyme.
• Add the stuffing mix and chicken stock. Stir until the bread is no longer dry. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Place the turkey breast on a cutting board, skin-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about ½-inch (1 cm) thick.
• Brush the turkey breast with the Dijon mustard.
• Spread the stuffing mixture over the turkey breast in an even layer, about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer any extra stuffing to an oven-safe dish.
• Starting from a short end, roll the turkey into a log with the skin on the outside. Tuck in any loose bits.
• Use kitchen twine to tie the turkey closed crosswise at 1-inch (2-cm) intervals. Tie once lengthwise to seal the ends.
• Transfer the trussed turkey to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake the turkey roulade for 45-60 minutes, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75˚C). Bake the leftover stuffing for 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
• Let rest for 15 minutes, then remove the twine, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread on a baking sheet until dry and edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a cutting board. Slice through thickest part of breast, creating a flap. Cover with plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Remove plastic, season with salt and pepper, and store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread; add broth, cranberries, and pistachios. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a work surface. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Working from one short side, roll breast up tightly into a log, enclosing stuffing. Turn seam-side down. Drape bacon slices over breast, overlapping slightly to cover completely. With kitchen twine, tie at 4 even intervals; replace any stuffing that falls out.
• Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 155 degrees (temperature will continue to rise during resting), about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
• Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
• Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
• Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.
