SPICED TURKEY WITH SWISS CHARD
I love turkey in any way, shape or form. I feel the same about Swiss chard or any leafy greens, so I decided to combine the two in this delicious, healthy meal. To complete the dinner, I make extra spice rub and toss it with oil and new potatoes, then roast them in the oven along with the turkey. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain the rice and transfer to a large bowl, then bring a fresh pot of water to a boil. Drop the chard into the boiling water and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, then squeeze dry and chop. Mix the chard and pancetta into the rice.
- Chop the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a fine paste using a knife or a mini chopper. Add to the chard-rice mixture along with the cheese, scallions, basil, parsley, lemon zest, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the eggs and stir to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the skin from the turkey breast in one piece and reserve. Place the meat smooth-side down on a cutting board and butterfly it: Slice down the middle of the breast with a sharp knife, but do not cut all the way through. Open the turkey like a book.
- Sprinkle the meat with a teaspoon of cold water and cover with plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a mallet, or a rolling pin, pound the meat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Season with salt and pepper, then pile the chard stuffing down the center of the rectangle, packing it into a tight log. Fold the meat over the filling, overlapping the sides slightly. Stretch the turkey skin over the roulade to cover the seam and tie the roll at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Fold in the ends and tie the roll lengthwise to seal.
- Place the meat skin-side up on a rack in a shallow baking dish. Brush with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour the wine and 2 cups water into the dish and roast until a thermometer inserted into the roll registers 160 and the skin is golden and crisp, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the pan juices. Remove the twine and slice the roll into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Serve with the pan juices.
SWISS CHARD AND TURKEY AU GRATIN
Originally from the Mayo Clinic, Williams-Sonoma Cookbook. Using packaged frozen little onions will help streamline the preparation of this Hungarian-influenced combination of greens and poultry without compromising its quality in any way. This is very healthy and freezes well.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400°F Prepare 2 qt shallow baking dish for use.
- In a large pot or a dutch oven, combine the chard, the garlic, onions and 1 cup of the water, cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice until the chard is wilted and barely tender, about 10 minutes. Spread the chard mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Coat a large nonstick frying pan at med-high heat with non-stick cooking spray. Add the turkey cutlets in a single layer and sprinkle with pepper. Cook, turning once until the turkey is lightly browned on the outside but still pink in the center, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove the turkey and arrange on top of the chard.
- In the turkey pan, bring the wine and lemon zest to a boil. Boil, scraping any browned bits from the pan, for 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 3/4 cup of the remaining water, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the paprika and return to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup water until smooth. Add to the boiling broth, whisking constantly until thickened, about 1 minute. Pour the cornstarch mixture over the turkey and chard.
- Bake until the turkey is fully cooked and the sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Dust with the remaining paprika. Serve from the baking dish.
- ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: For this recipe, a bone-in turkey breast or thigh is best. Bone-in meat tends to be more flavorful and moist than boneless meat.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the turkey, make sure there is enough space around it so that the air can circulate and the turkey can cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey (without touching the bone) and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the turkey rest: Before carving the turkey, let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This spiced turkey is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Conclusion:
This spiced turkey with Swiss chard is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
