CHEESY RICE CASSEROLE WITH TURKEY



Cheesy Rice Casserole with Turkey image

Gullah-Geechie cooking is all about one-dish meals, and this comforting rice casserole is just that. Instead of broccoli, which you'll commonly find in casseroles, I like to use a combination of shredded Brussels sprouts, carrots and red bell pepper for color and flavor.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup half-and-half
One 8-ounce carton sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced (about 3 cups)
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 5 1/2 cups)
2 carrots, diced (1 1/4 cups)
1 red bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups parboiled rice
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar
2 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the turkey breast on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bake until the turkey is done, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then dice.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until it bubbles and begins to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and half-and-half. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, Brussels sprouts, carrots and bell pepper and sauté until the vegetables begin to become tender, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Combine the vegetables, rice, turkey, white Cheddar and 1 cup yellow Cheddar in a large bowl. Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small bowl or microwave-proof glass measure, then add the panko and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the top along with the remaining cup yellow Cheddar.
  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the liquid is absorbed, the rice is tender and the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes.

HOT BROWN



Hot Brown image

The Hot Brown was invented in 1926 at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Ky., by the chef Fred Schmidt. The open-faced turkey sandwich, smothered in Mornay sauce and topped with bacon, was served to customers at late-night dances, while the band was on its break. The dish has become a Louisville staple, one well suited for Derby Day or after Thanksgiving, when roast turkey is plentiful. Thick slices of bread, sold as Texas Toast in some parts of the United States, do not get lost under the meat and sauce. Hand-carved turkey is best for the dish; deli turkey slices do not deliver the same Hot Brown experience.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (8-inch) sandwich loaf (about 20 ounces), cut evenly into 8 slices, crust removed
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 pound roasted turkey breast, thickly sliced
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup shredded Pecorino Romano (about 1 1/2 ounces)
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Shredded Pecorino Romano, for sprinkling
8 slices crisp cooked bacon
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the sandwich: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 bread slices in half diagonally. Divide the remaining 4 whole slices among four individual 7-by-9-inch (or other similarly sized) baking dishes (see Tip), and place 2 pieces of halved bread on opposite sides of the bread, positioning the longest side of each triangle closest to the whole slice of bread. The formation will look like a two-way arrow. Nestle a piece of tomato on either side of the whole slices of bread, forming a square shape with the bread triangles. Divide the turkey slices among the whole slices of bread. Transfer the casseroles to the oven to toast as you prepare the sauce.
  • Prepare the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until mixture forms a roux. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, 2 minutes. Whisk heavy cream and milk into the roux and cook over medium until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano until the sauce is smooth. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the dishes from the oven and pour the Mornay sauce over each, smothering the meat, bread and tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle additional Pecorino Romano on top of each dish and broil until the cheese begins to brown and bubble, 4 to 5 minutes, working in batches, if necessary.
  • Remove from the broiler and cross 2 slices of bacon over each dish. Sprinkle with parsley and paprika, and serve immediately.

"HOT BROWN" CASSEROLE



Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces (225 grams) organic tempeh
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons hot sauce
4 to 6 tablespoons (55 to 80 grams) salted butter
20 grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound (455 grams) vegetarian turkey breast roast, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes
2 1/2 (600 milliliters) cups whole milk
4 tablespoons (55 grams) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
1 cup (115 grams) shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 ounces (55 grams) or 4 tablespoons chopped banana peppers
4 cups (220 grams) cubed stale or toasted bread (1-inch/2.5-centimeter pieces)
1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
8 cooked tempeh bacon slices, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the tempeh bacon: Slice the tempeh lengthwise into sixteen to twenty pieces and lay them in a 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33-centimeter) baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, liquid smoke, and hot sauce, then pour over the tempeh. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes. Much of the liquid will be absorbed.
  • Carefully and working in batches if necessary, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the tempeh bacon until very dark and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (I flip them using two forks so they don't break.) add butter to the pan as needed. Remove from the skillet and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • For the "hot brown" casserole: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Coat the tomatoes with 2 teaspoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes cut sides up on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake until they start to dehydrate and wrinkle, about 45 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking, put the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a saute pan and heat over medium heat until hot. Add the turkey substitute and sear until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
  • To make the Mornay sauce: Warm the milk over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Put the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the flour and stir continuously so the roux doesn't scorch, about 2 minutes. Whisk the warm milk into the roux, stirring continuously so lumps don't form. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the Gouda and the banana peppers and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. When the tomatoes are done, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • You are now ready to assemble the dish. Distribute the bread cubes evenly in the bottom of an 8-inch (20-centimeter) square casserole dish. Layer in the substitute turkey pieces. Pour the Mornay sauce over the top and then top with the tomato halves. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and tempeh bacon slices. Bake on the top rack of the oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it set up for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients to the casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, and corn.
  • Be sure to cook the turkey thoroughly before adding it to the casserole. This will help to ensure that the casserole is safe to eat.
  • If you don't have any cooked turkey, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the casserole to your liking, such as cheese, bacon, or nuts.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of bread or salad.

Conclusion:

Hot brown turkey casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after a holiday meal. With its creamy sauce, tender turkey, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
