Turkey With Cauliflower Carrot Herb Mash Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Chop 8 sage leaves and leaves from 2 thyme sprigs. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, garlic, salt and pepper with chopped herbs. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from turkey breast; rub mixture under skin. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks., Cut onions into wedges and the celery, carrots and parsnips into 2-in. pieces. Place about a fifth of the onions, celery and carrots in the turkey cavity; add 4 sage sprigs and remaining 4 thyme sprigs to cavity. Arrange remaining vegetables evenly in a roasting pan. Place turkey, breast side up, over vegetables. Brush with remaining 1/4 cup oil., Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°-175°, 3 to 3-1/2 hours. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly. Cover and let stand 20 minutes before carving. Discard vegetables. If desired, use drippings to make gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• For the cauliflower mash: Combine the florets, water, stock, garlic and 2 teaspoons salt in a 4-quart or medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the turkey patties: Combine the turkey, rosemary, poultry seasoning, salt, ground mustard, black pepper and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Mix together then form into 4 patties.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the patties and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Set the skillet aside.
• By this time the cauliflower should be cooked through and tender. Using a mesh spider or slotted spoon, scoop the florets and garlic cloves into a food processor, shaking off as much liquid as possible. Process until smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning and add salt and black pepper as needed.
• For the kale: Melt the ghee in the same cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the kale, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the kale is softened but not mushy, 5 to 6 minutes.
• For each serving, place a large spoonful of cauliflower mash on a plate or in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with chives. Add a turkey patty and 1/4 of the kale and serve with a lemon wedge.
