Best Sunnys Bk Jagerschnitzel With Sunnys Lemon Thyme Spaetzle Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY LEMON AND THYME SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• For the dredging station: In 3 dishes, set up your dredging station; 1 cup flour, salt and pepper, and paprika in one, then beat the eggs with a splash of water and salt and pepper in the second dish. In the third dish, mix together with a fork the remaining 1/4 cup flour with the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, thyme, and salt and pepper.
• For the pork: Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper. Run each cutlet through your dredging station in this order: flour, egg and breading. Make sure to shake off excess between dips.
• Fry the cutlets. Pour enough oil to measure 1 inch in your largest skillet and heat on medium-high until it registers 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Working in batches, place the cutlets in the oil and fry until golden and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
• Serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.

SUNNY'S BUTTERFLIED GRILLED TURKEY WITH LEMON PEPPER GLAZE

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine the sage, thyme, lemon, salt, peppercorns and 1 1/2 gallons water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the salt is dissolved and the water is fragrant. Turn off the heat and let cool completely.
• Place the turkey in a roasting bag, large plastic bag or bowl large enough to fit it with still more space to give. Pour in the brining liquid and seal or cover. If there's not enough room for all of the liquid in the brine, be sure to at least include the herbs, lemon and peppercorns. Refrigerate at least overnight or up to 3 days. When ready to cook, remove from the refrigerator and discard all of the brining liquid and solids.
• For the turkey: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Place the turkey cavity-side down on a wire rack resting in a roasting/baking dish and allow to sit on the countertop for about 2 hours to come to room temperature.
• Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut the backbone of the turkey out and break the breastbone to open up and flatten the bird by gently pressing down with the skin-side up. Flip over and pat dry. Using your finger, gently release the skin from the muscle of the turkey and insert the butter pieces between the skin and meat all over the bird. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the skin with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Place the turkey over direct heat skin-side down. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and close the lid of the grill. Cook until the turkey releases from the grates and reveals grill marks, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Heat the olive oil and black pepper together in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Steep over medium heat until the oil smells and tastes like pepper, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the honey, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest and lemon juice to the same pan. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and slightly reduce. Remove from the heat and rest until it tightens a bit, about 2 minutes.
• Flip the turkey and glaze the skin with the lemon pepper glaze. Close the lid of the grill and continue to cook, glazing every 30 minutes, until an internal-read thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 160 degrees F, 1 to 2 hours. Remove the turkey form the grill and let rest at room temperature tented with aluminum foil for 30 minutes before carving.

SUNNY'S SCALLION SPAETZLE

Steps:

• For the batter: In a small food processor, add the scallions, garlic, zest and 2 teaspoons salt. Blitz until the scallions are chopped finely, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the eggs and blitz again. Pour everything into a large bowl and add the milk. Gradually whisk in the flour to make a thick, tight batter. Add more flour by the spoonful until the proper texture is met (this should feel like it won't drip through a colander, but can be pressed through and remain stringy, not doughy).
• Fill a double boiler halfway with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and place a colander over the pot. Add a heaping cup of spaetzle batter at a time to the colander and, with a rubber or wooden spatula, press the batter through the holes into the boiling water. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the colander between pressings and stir the spaetzle into the water so the next group of batter doesn't stick to the one before it. The spaetzle is cooked when it floats to the top. Remove with a fine-mesh sieve and jiggle to remove as much water as possible.
• For the pan: You may need to do this in 2 batches; if so, only add half the ingredients each time. In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the butter and oil. Add the spaetzle and saute until it builds a golden crust, then toss and cook until it's mostly golden all over but still tender, 2 to 4 minutes total. Add the chopped scallions, lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper and toss. Serve warm.
