STIR-FRIED TURKEY AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Stir-Fried Turkey and Brussels Sprouts image

A stir-fry is always a great way to use a little bit of leftover meat with a lot of vegetables. This one is quickly accomplished because the turkey is already cooked and it's thrown into the colorful, gingery mix at the last minute. Once you add the turkey it's important to stir-fry only long enough to heat the turkey through or it will be dry and stringy. If you are making this just after Thanksgiving and you happen to have leftover Brussels sprouts too, then you can reduce the cooking time even more, adding them along with the turkey after you've stir-fried the red peppers, and just stir-frying to heat through.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS AND SHERRY



Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts With Shallots and Sherry image

This recipe came to The Times in 2011 from Grace Young, the chef and cookbook writer. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before they are put into the pan, or the liquid will turn the stir-fry into a braise. This dish can be made ahead of time, all the better for a Thanksgiving feast or a weeknight dinner.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1/3 cup thinly sliced shallot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup roasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. Shave a scant 1/4-inch-thick slice off one side of each sprout and put cut side down. Cut scant 1/4-inch-thick slices to make about 6 cups. Transfer the brussels sprouts to the colander of a salad spinner and rinse under cold water. Put the colander into the salad spinner and spin to remove excess water. Combine the sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the salt and pepper in a small dish.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the shallots and garlic and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the brussels sprouts, sprinkle with the salt mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, just until the brussels sprouts are bright green. Swirl the sherry mixture into the wok, cover and cook 1 minute, until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Uncover and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid has just evaporated. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts image

Brussels sprouts caramelize to a deep, delicious brown while retaining a fresh bite in minutes when cooked on the stovetop. In this adaptation of wok stir-frying, the sprouts quickly sear in a single layer in a skillet, then steam through with a splash of water to tenderize their tough cores. Crushed garlic cloves release their aroma into the hot oil, but are in chunks big enough to not burn and get bitter. A final sprinkle of sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes give the sprouts a nice balance of sweet, salty and spicy. You can eat this with other stir-fries and steamed rice or alongside any main dish. Leftovers, reheated or cold, can be tossed into grain bowls and salads.

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed, then peeled
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved or quartered, if large
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
  • Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
  • Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.
