PORTUGUESE TURKEY WITH BREAD STUFFING

Provided by Isabel Costa

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 3h20m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 12-pound turkeys
Salt to taste
2 bottles dry white wine
8 large cloves garlic
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
4 bay leaves
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves
Turkey stuffing (see recipe)
Bread crusts to cover cavity opening
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Soak turkeys in salted water under refrigeration for 24 hours.
  • Combine wine, garlic, paprika, bay leaves, salt, hot pepper sauce and oregano. Marinate turkeys in this mixture for 24 hours under refrigeration. Turn occasionally.
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove turkeys from marinade, reserving marinade. Pack turkeys loosely with stuffing and cover openings of cavities with bread crusts; sew cavities closed. Bake remaining stuffing separately during the last half-hour turkeys are roasting.
  • Wrap turkey wings in foil. Put turkeys into roasting pans and top with pieces of bacon, putting some beneath turkeys as well. Pour reserved marinade over turkeys.
  • Roast turkeys for 30 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and roast turkeys about 2 1/2 hours more. If turkeys get too brown before they are cooked, put aluminum foil over the top. If turkeys are roasted in a single oven, they may need 30 minutes or more of extra roasting time.

Tips:

  • Prepare the stuffing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and will make assembling the turkey easier on the day of cooking.
  • Use a variety of breads for the stuffing: This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cornbread, white bread, and sourdough bread.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: This will prevent the stuffing from cooking evenly and will make the turkey more difficult to carve.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature: This will help to brown the skin and keep the stuffing moist.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Portuguese turkey stuffing is a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy turkey. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a special way to cook turkey, give Portuguese turkey stuffing a try.
