Best Cranberry Bbq Turkey Totchos Recipes

GRILLED TURKEY WITH CRANBERRY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the turkey: One to two days before cooking, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the breast and thigh skin and inside the cavity. Refrigerate uncovered or lightly covered with plastic wrap.
• For the cranberry bbq sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onion is very soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Stir in the cranberries, apple juice, ketchup, light brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, chipotle pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Simmer until the cranberries start to burst, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and blend until very smooth. Reserve half for serving with the turkey. (You can make this sauce the day before and keep it refrigerated.)
• Half an hour before cooking, remove the turkey from the refrigerator. Preheat a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (about 350 degrees F). For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey all over with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Place the turkey breast-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover the grill and roast until almost done (an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh should register around 150 degrees F), 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Brush the turkey all over with the cranberry sauce. Cover the grill and continue cooking the turkey until a thermometer registers at least 165 degrees F in the thigh and 155 degrees F in the breast, 15 to 25 minutes more.
• Let the turkey rest 30 minutes before carving. Serve with the reserved cranberry sauce on the side.

CRANBERRY-BBQ TURKEY TOTCHOS

CRANBERRY BBQ TURKEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Add the turkey and Cranberry BBQ Sauce to a large bowl and toss to coat. Pile the turkey on the rolls and top with the cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until the cheese melts and is bubbly. Top the sandwiches with the Fried Shallots and serve.
• Add the cranberry sauce, juice, ground ginger, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring often to incorporate flavors, about 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool. Reserve 1 cup and store the rest for future use.
• Combine the tomato puree, 1 cup of the cranberry sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and hot sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently until all ingredients are well incorporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a high-sided skillet or pan. Put the flour in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the shallots to the bowl and toss to coat, shaking off any excess flour. Fry the shallots in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a paper-towel-lined-plate and sprinkle with salt.

CRANBERRY GLAZED TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove giblets and neck from turkey and rinse inside and out with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine softened butter, 1 tablespoon fine herbs, crushed garlic, 2 tablespoons marmalade and onion flakes. Use a fork to mix together until well combined.
• In a small bowl combine poultry seasoning, 1 tablespoon fine herbs, salt and pepper.
• Use your hand to carefully loosen the skin around the entire bird. Work half of the butter mixture under the skin of the entire turkey. Rub the remaining butter on the outside of the skin and season with the poultry seasoning mixture inside and out. Stuff the inside of the turkey cavity with oranges and leeks. (Truss if desired.) Add any leftover oranges and leeks to a shallow roasting pan; pour in broth and set aside. Insert a pop-up thermometer at an angle about 3-inches down from the neck cavity and 2-inches from the breastbone, in the thickest part of the breast. Place turkey breast side up on a rack over the vegetables in the roasting pan. Place in oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Combine orange juice, remaining marmalade, jellied cranberries, and remaining fine herbs in a small saucepan and simmer until jelly melts. Continue simmering until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes; keep warm.
• After the turkey has cooked for 2 hours brush on the glaze mixture. When the thermometer pops up or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 180 degrees F, about 3 hours total.
• Remove from oven and let turkey rest 15 minutes before carving.
