Categories     side-dish

Time 13h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound Aaron's Chorizo, recipe follows
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish, optional
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated cotija cheese, for garnish, optional
1/2 cup ancho chile powder
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 pound ground pork
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons crushed dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1 teaspoon ground canela (Mexican cinnamon), or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon and stirring occasionally as it cooks, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and onions to the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have browned, about 10 minutes. Add the crumbled cornbread and cilantro. Gradually stir in enough of the stock so the stuffing is not too dry but at the same time not too wet. Stir gently and well.
  • Butter a small casserole dish. Spread the stuffing in an even layer. Bake until it's heated through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes. Serve right away, garnished with cilantro and cotija if desired.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Put the chile powder in a small bowl, pour in the boiling water and stir well to make a paste. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Put the ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, salt and garlic and mix well (your hands are the best tools for this job). Sprinkle with the oregano, canela, black pepper, star anise and cloves and mix well. Add the wine and sugar and mix well. Work the ancho chilie paste into the meat with your fingers until it's well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight before you use it.
  • Store in 2-ounce portions in ziptop bags in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

ADOBO TURKEY WITH RED-CHILE GRAVY



Adobo Turkey with Red-Chile Gravy image

This is no ordinary turkey. Food editor Lillian Chou blended toasted guajillo and ancho chiles with a range of spices and aromatics to create a brick-red _adobo_ sauce that seasons both the bird and its gravy. After a long marinate, the _adobo_ permeates the bird's juicy meat during roasting. The resulting turkey features a savory complexity heightened by the accompanying red-chile gravy.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For adobo
4 dried guajillo chiles (2 ounces), wiped clean
3 dried ancho chiles (1 1/2 ounces), wiped clean
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 (1/2-inch) piece cinnamon stick, smashed
2 whole allspice
1 clove
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme leaves
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For turkey and gravy:
1 (12-to 14-pound) turkey, neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved for turkey stock
2 cups water, divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
About 4 cups classic turkey stock , divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Melted unsalted butter if necessary
Equipment: kitchen string; a 17-by 14-inch flameproof roasting pan with a flat rack; a 2-quart measuring cup or a fat separator
1 a 17- by 14-inch flameproof roasting pan with a flat rack
1 a 2-quart measuring cup or a fat separator

Steps:

  • Make adobo:
  • Slit chiles lengthwise, then stem and seed. Heat a large heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast chiles in batches, opening them flat, turning and pressing with tongs, until more pliable and slightly changed in color, about 30 seconds per batch.
  • Transfer to a bowl and cover chiles with boiling-hot water, then soak until softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast spices in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain chiles, discarding liquid, and purée in a blender with spices, garlic, herbs, vinegar, water, oil, and 2 teaspoon salt until very smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside 1/2 cup adobo for gravy.
  • Marinate turkey:
  • Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt evenly in turkey cavities and all over skin, then rub remaining adobo (a scant 3/4 cup) all over turkey, including cavities. Fold neck skin under body, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with string. Transfer to rack in roasting pan and marinate, covered with plastic wrap and chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 24.
  • Roast turkey:
  • Let turkey stand, covered, at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
  • Add 1 cup water to pan and roast turkey 1 hour.
  • Brush turkey with oil and add remaining cup water, then tent loosely with foil and rotate pan. Roast (if bottom of pan becomes dry, add 1/2 cup more water) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of each thigh (test both; close to but not touching bone) registers 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 3/4 hours more (total roasting time: 2 3/4 to 3 3/4 hours).
  • Carefully tilt turkey so juices from inside large cavity run into pan. Transfer turkey to a platter and let stand, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 175 to 180°F).
  • Make gravy while turkey stands:
  • Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add 1 cup turkey stock and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 2 minutes. Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into 2-quart measure and skim off fat (or use a fat separator), reserving fat. Add enough turkey stock to liquid to bring total to 5 cups.
  • Whisk together flour, 6 tablespoon reserved fat (if there is less, add melted butter), and reserved 1/2 cup adobo in a heavy medium saucepan, then cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 3 minutes (mixture will be thick). Add pan juices and stock in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, whisking, then simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

Chorizo stuffed Turkey Breast image

Quite a nice way to jazz up a turkey breast steak!

Provided by uncle-robbie

Time 45m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Turkey Breast Steaks
100 grams Chorizo sausage, chopped.
Half a small onion, finely chopped,
4 cherry tomatoes, chopped
Torn fresh basil leaves (if you don't have any fresh basil, 1 tsp of dried basil will do)
4 black olives, pitted and chopped.
4 rashers of bacon (unsmoked is preferable)

Steps:

  • Fry the Chorizo and the onion together in a frying pan (don't worry about adding oil, as the Chorizo will produce enough of this) for around 3-4 minutes, until the onions are slightly softened. Add the tomatoes and the basil and stir through. Heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped olives to this mixture.
  • Take a piece of cling film, lie the turkey breast steak individually onto this and cover with another piece of cling film. Using a rolling pin, gently pound the turkey steak until it it flattened to around ½ centimeter in thickness. Repeat with the second turkey steak.
  • Spoon half the mixture onto each steak and roll it up. Roll the bacon round each turkey steak (you may find it handy to tie it together with some string if it gets a bit fiddly.
  • Fry the rolled up turkey steak in the frying pan until lightly browned on the outside.
  • Place on a baking sheet and place into a preheated oven (around 200 Degrees Celcius/400 Degrees Farenheit/Gas Mark 6) for around 20 minutes, turning over about halfway through.

Tips:

  • To ensure the turkey breast is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for cooked turkey is 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the turkey breast for doneness by piercing it with a fork or knife. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked.
  • To prevent the turkey breast from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 20 minutes or so.
  • For a more flavorful turkey breast, marinate it in the adobo rub for at least 2 hours before cooking.
  • If you don't have time to make the chorizo cornbread stuffing, you can use a store-bought stuffing mix.
  • To make the chorizo cornbread stuffing ahead of time, cook the chorizo and cornbread according to the package directions and then mix them together. Store the stuffing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

This adobo-rubbed turkey breast with chorizo cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The turkey breast is moist and flavorful, and the stuffing is savory and filling. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
