Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 pounds new potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
3 strips par cooked bacon, crisped in microwave and chopped (recommended: Ready Crisp)
Salt and pepper
1 cup store bought apple sauce
1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 slices whole grain bread
Butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 pound maple sausage, bulk or removed from large link casing
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock or turkey broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock or turkey broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt
A few grinds black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds turkey breast meat: roasted turkey breast or thick-cut deli turkey
4 slices whole grain bread
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  • Place potatoes in a medium pot. Cut larger potatoes in half. Leave smaller baby potatoes whole. Cover potatoes with water and top with a lid. Place over high heat. When the water boils, salt water and cook potatoes with the lid off pot for 10 to 11 minutes, until tender.
  • Place a second low pot on the stove top over medium-high heat. Add apple sauce and canned cranberry sauce. Stir to combine and gently heat through, about 10 minutes.
  • Toast 2 slices whole grain bread and butter heavily, 1/2 tablespoon per slice. Chop into small cubes and reserve.
  • Add extra-virgin olive oil and sausage meat to hot skillet. Brown and crumble the sausage with a wooden spoon or heat safe spatula. Add onions and celery to the skillet then season with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add bread to the skillet and stir to combine. Dampen the stuffing with chicken stock and turn to combine. Turn off heat and cover pan loosely with foil to hold heat.
  • Preheat a second skillet over medium heat to prepare turkey and gravy.
  • Drain cooked potatoes and return to hot pot. Smash with sour cream, butter and crisped, chopped bacon. Season the smashed potatoes with salt and pepper. If they are too thick, thin them out with milk or a splash of broth.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter to preheated skillet and melt it. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups stock or broth. Add the poultry seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the gravy. Allow it to thicken slightly.
  • Cut roasted turkey meat away from the breast bones of rotisserie turkey breast. If you are using deli turkey, remove from packaging and separate slices. Set turkey into gravy.
  • Place a bread slice on dinner plate. Use a large ice cream scoop to place a mound of stuffing on the bread. Place turkey on top of stuffing. Serve smashed potatoes and cranberries on the side. Spoon the extra gravy over potatoes and turkey sandwiches. Sprinkle the plates with chopped parsley or chives and serve.

TURKEY SAUSAGE GRAVY AND BISCUITS



Turkey Sausage Gravy and Biscuits image

You know me, I am always trying to find an easier, somewhat healthier way to make those all-time favorite foods. Obviously, when it comes to the salt and pepper, you can use more or less to taste. I have been told I have bland taste buds, so my amounts may leave you wanting more. The cinnamon stick comes from a game I play with my kids. Whoever gets the cinnamon stick on their plate wins!

ROAST VERMONT TURKEY WITH GIBLET GRAVY AND SAUSAGE AND SAGE DRESSING, FOR THANKSGIVING



Roast Vermont Turkey with Giblet Gravy and Sausage and Sage Dressing, for Thanksgiving image

Turkey may not have played as big a part in the first Thanksgiving, held back in 1621, as it does in our contemporary celebration. If turkey was served at all, it was probably one of many game birds, that were served along with venison, oysters, clams, lobsters, and eels, as well as succotash, beach plums, sweet potatoes, leeks and cornbread. My own Thanksgiving menu is intended to pay homage to the foods of the first Thanksgiving , as well as to the foods that have become associated with this holiday. I believe that holidays by their own nature demand that traditional foods be served. In America, there is no stronger correlation between the food and the day than that of the venerable Thanksgiving Day turkey.

Provided by Jasper White

Yield Serves about 10 as an entrée

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 Vermont or other fresh turkey, about 10 pounds, fattened on corn and walnuts, killed 3 days earlier
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon
1/2 apple
1/2 medium onion
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 branches fresh rosemary
2 branches fresh sage
10 sprigs Italian parsley
4 bay leaves
1/4 cup vegetable oil
trimmings from the turkey
1/2 medium onion
2 stalks celery
1 carrot
2 bay leaves
10 black peppercorns
5 Italian parsley stems
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon water
1 large leek, white part only, cut in 1/4-inch dice
3 cups turkey stock
giblets from turkey, finely diced
1 hard-boiled egg, finely diced
salt and freshly ground pepper
Country Sausage and Sage Dressing
Cranberry Relish

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the turkey. Remove all extra parts; reserve giblets. Cut off wingtips and any excess neck, etc. Season turkey inside and out with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper; be generous. Loosen up leg joints without tearing skin.
  • 2. Make the stuffing by roughly chopping the lemon , apple, onion, thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley and bay leaves into 1/2-inch pieces. Mix with oil. Put stuffing into cavity and truss the bird. Do not tie too tight.
  • 3. Start the stock at least 30 minutes before roasting the turkey. Place the wingtips and neck in a saucepan; add 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Skim off any foam. Reduce heat to a slow simmer. Add onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves, peppercorns and parsley stems. Allow to simmer about 2 1/2 hours. Strain stock and reserve. You should have about 3 cups.
  • 4. Make a paste by kneading 6 tablespoons unsalted butter with 1/4 cup flour. Rub this vigorously and thoroughly into the skin of the bird.
  • 5. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle 4 tablespoons flour evenly on the bottom of a roasting pan. Place turkey on a rack in the pan. Allow time for turkey to come to room temperature if it is still cold to the touch.
  • 6. Place turkey in oven. Leave in oven for 40 minutes or until the bird is browned all over. Combine 8 tablespoons butter with 1 teaspoon of water and bring to a boil. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and baste the turkey generously with the butter mixture. Repeat this process twice, once every 10 minutes, until basting liquid is used up. At this point, the turkey should be in the oven about 1 hour. Now baste 2 more times at intervals of 15 minutes, using pan drippings. At this point, the turkey has been in about 1 hour 30 minutes. Cook 20 minutes more without basting, to allow the skin to crisp. Remove from oven. Allow to rest at least 30 minutes before carving. Make the gravy during this resting period.
  • 7. To make the gravy, remove turkey to a serving platter. Place roasting pan directly on top of a burner on medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing excess liquid to evaporate. Stir constantly. Now carefully remove any excess fat that has not combined with the flour to make a roux. Add the diced leek and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add 3 cups turkey stock, allowing the gravy to thicken as it comes to a boil. At this point it may be switched to a saucepan. Make sure that every bit of the pan drippings has been incorporated into the gravy. Add the giblets and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir in the hard-boiled egg and remove from heat. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and salt, if necessary.
  • 8. Carve the turkey and pass the gravy. Serve with country sausage and sage dressing and cranberry relish.

SHORTCUT TURKEY SAUSAGE GRAVY



Shortcut Turkey Sausage Gravy image

I love sausage gravy, but like to lighten it up with turkey sausaage. This is even easier because you start with premade country gravy and biscuits and then add the turkey sausage. You can use store bought - but I like to get it freshly made at a local restaurant.

Provided by Angie Robinson

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1-2 c white country gravy
2 fresh turkey sausage patties
2 prepared biscuits
2 eggs, any way you like them-optional

Steps:

  • 1. I buy the gravy and biscuits at my favorite homestyle restaurant. I get them the night before to save time in the morning.
  • 2. Break up the sausage patties and brown them in a small pan. Microwave the gravy for about 30 seconds.
  • 3. Add the gravy to the pan and let simmer about 3-5 min. until warmed up. Microwave the biscuits for about 15 seconds or until they are softened and to your liking.
  • 4. Split the biscuits and pour the gravy on top. If you are having eggs cook them in another pan while the sausges brown up. I like to put the egss and gravy on top of the biscuits. Enjoy~
