TURKEY BREAST WITH OYSTER STUFFING



Turkey Breast with Oyster Stuffing image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups onion, finely diced (about 2 to 3 large onions)
1 1/2 cups celery diced (about 6 stalks)
1-ounce dried sage
12 cups day old bread, broken up (about 1 loaf)
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/4 cups clarified butter
18 medium shucked oysters
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 to 3 pounds boneless turkey breast, skin on
Turkey neck and giblets to make 1 cup turkey giblet stock
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside to drain. Add onion, celery, and sage to the bacon fat rendered in the skillet, and cook until onions are translucent and celery is soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sage and broken-up bread to the skillet. Stir in parsley, butter, oysters, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss stuffing, but mix well, and let cool.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butterfly the turkey breast with smooth side down and stuff, folding edges over to hold stuffing. (You may want to secure with skewers or cotton kitchen twine.) Season turkey breast with salt and pepper and place into the oven to roast until it reaches an internal temperature of about 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • While turkey is in oven, place the turkey neck and giblets in a medium saucepan with 4 cups water and cook until you have about 1 cup of giblet stock. Reserve the neck and giblets, removing meat from neck when cool enough to handle and chopping giblets. When turkey is done, remove breast to a platter to let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Skim most of the fat from the pan juices, reserving 1/3 cup of the fat. Add the wine to the remaining pan juices and cook over medium high heat until reduced by half. In a separate saucepan, heat reserved 1/3 cup of fat and whisk in flour over moderately low heat for a few minutes to make a roux. Add stock and wine reduction, continuing to cook until gravy simmers. Add reserved cooked and chopped giblets and neck meat. Slice turkey to reveal stuffed interior and arrange on plate. Serve with gravy.

Add the cooked vegetables and melted butter into the bowl with the cornbread and stir to combine. Pour the milk, oysters and reserved oyster juice over the cornbread, then season with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and eggs and stir until well combined and cohesive. Spread into the prepared baking dish.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top begins to brown, about 30 minutes more.

Yield Makes 8 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups Asian short-grain sticky ("sweet") rice (1 pound 6 ounces)
12 Chinese dried black mushrooms or dried shiitake mushrooms (1 1/2 inches in diameter; 3 ounces)
2 cups boiling-hot water
2 bunches scallions
4 links Chinese sweet sausage (also called lop chong)
1/2 cup Chinese rice wine, such as Shaoxing, or medium-dry Sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
3 dried lotus leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1/4 cup pine nuts (1 ounce)
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger
2 (3-ounce) cans smoked oysters (about 1 cup), drained and coarsely chopped
Equipment: a 10-inch (5-cup) deep-dish pie plate; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok with a lid; 2 small metal or bamboo skewers; a collapsible steamer rack with center stem removed

Steps:

  • Cover rice generously with cold water in a large bowl and soak at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours. Drain in a medium-mesh sieve and rinse well under cold running water.
  • Soak mushrooms in boiling-hot water (2 cups) in a medium bowl, turning mushrooms over occasionally, until softened, about 1 hour. Lift out mushrooms, squeezing excess liquid back into bowl. Cut out and discard stems, then thinly slice caps. Reserve 1 cup mushroom-soaking liquid and discard remainder.
  • Chop scallions, keeping pale green and white parts separate from dark green parts. Quarter sausages lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Stir together reserved mushroom-soaking liquid, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl until sugar has dissolved.
  • Fill sink with hot water and soak 2 or 3 lotus leaves (if using) until softened, about 15 minutes. Pat lotus leaves dry. Choose best leaf (some leaves may be blemished or damaged), discarding remainder. Cut out center stem and arrange leaf in pie plate (there will be a lot of overhang), overlapping leaf slightly to cover gap in center.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Pour peanut oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat side. Add pale-green and white parts of scallion, pine nuts, and ginger and stir-fry until pine nuts are golden, about 1 minute. Add sausage and mushrooms and stir-fry until mushrooms are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add oysters and stir-fry 1 minute. Add rice and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add liquid mixture and bring to a boil, then cook, stirring gently, until liquid has been absorbed, about 2 minutes. Transfer rice mixture to pie plate (with or without lotus-leaf-lining) and smooth top. Fold over sides of leaf (if using) to cover, then secure with skewers.
  • Set a steamer rack inside cleaned wok and add enough water to reach just below steamer rack, then bring to a boil. Steam stuffing in pie plate on rack, covered with lid, 45 minutes (replenish water as necessary). Remove wok from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes, then carefully remove pie plate from steamer with oven mitts. Remove skewer and open leaf, then stir in scallion greens. Fold leaf over to keep warm.

CAJUN OYSTER STUFFING



Cajun Oyster Stuffing image

This is a great twist on a holiday favorite for oyster lovers. This stuffing is flavorful from all the fresh veggies mixed with the briny flavor of the oysters along with the traditional seasonings. The stuffing is very moist and the Cajun seasoning gave this dish just a little kick. It's not spicy, just enough spice to live up...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 skillet cornbread baked, cooled, and crumbled
1 pkg saltine crackers, crumbled
1/2 loaf day old French bread
1 stick butter, room temperature
2 c chicken broth
1 qt oysters, chopped with liquid reserved
1 large onion, chopped
1 c celery, chopped
1/2 c green onions, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp sage, dried
1 tsp poultry seasoning
2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, crumble the cornbread, French bread and crackers.
  • 2. Saute the garlic, onions, bell pepper, celery, and green onions in the stick of butter until soft.
  • 3. Add to the bowl with the cornbread mixture.
  • 4. Add the seasonings and mix well.
  • 5. Mix in beaten eggs.
  • 6. Stir in the chicken stock.
  • 7. Add oysters and stir them in.
  • 8. Add a little oyster liquid to desired consistency. The mixture will be wet.
  • 9. Pour into a buttered baking dish.
  • 10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for stuffing. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the oysters finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the stuffing.
  • Use a variety of bread cubes. This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. You can use white bread, wheat bread, or even cornbread.
  • Add plenty of seasonings. Stuffing is a great way to use up leftover herbs and spices. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the stuffing for extra flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the bird. The stuffing should be loose and fluffy, not packed tightly. If you overstuff the bird, the stuffing will be dry and dense.
  • Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the stuffing should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Oyster stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. With its briny, sweet flavor and variety of textures, oyster stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
