Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Whole Turkey Recipes

Time 5h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

¾ cup cornmeal
1 ¼ cups water
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ pound bacon, or more to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 celery stalk, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 teaspoons poultry seasoning
4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 (1 pound) loaf rye bread, cubed
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 whole turkey, neck and giblets removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a pie pan.
  • In a bowl, mix cornmeal and water and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the egg and vegetable oil into the wet cornmeal; stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined and pour into the prepared pie pan.
  • Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon when cool. Stir the onion, garlic, celery, red bell pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, and oregano into the bacon drippings left in the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove cooled cornbread from the pie pan and cut into small cubes; place into a large bowl and mix in the rye bread cubes. Stir the bacon and cooked vegetables into the stuffing until well combined; drizzle the chicken broth into the dressing, stirring to evenly moisten the bread cubes.
  • Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey into a large roasting pan with a lid. Fill the body and neck cavities loosely with stuffing, folding the neck skin over the stuffing and securing in place with toothpicks. Place any leftover stuffing onto a large square of aluminum foil and fold and seal the edges to enclose the stuffing. Refrigerate stuffing packet until about 45 minutes before serving time.
  • Place the turkey in the oven, and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove lid after about 2 1/2 hours to brown skin. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. About 45 minutes before serving, bake the extra stuffing if desired.

CRISPY TURKEY TOSTADAS



Crispy Turkey Tostadas image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cups shredded cooked turkey or chicken (12 ounces; see Tip)
8 corn tortillas
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
1 avocado, pitted
1/4 cup prepared salsa
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes, preferably with jalapenos

Steps:

  • Shredded leftover turkey tops homemade tostadas in this Tex-Mex favorite. Making your own tostada shells from fresh corn tortillas is easier than you might think-crisp them up in the oven while you prepare the toppings. Choose either regular petite diced tomatoes or those with added jalapenos, depending on your inclination for spicy food. Serve with black beans, rice and extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.;
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375degreesF. Bring tomatoes and their juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Divide the tortillas between 2 large baking sheets. Bake, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in salsa, sour cream and cilantro until combined. To assemble tostadas, spread each crisped tortilla with some of the avocado mixture. Top with the turkey (or chicken) mixture, lettuce and cheese.

EASY TURKEY-POBLANO TOSTADAS



Easy Turkey-Poblano Tostadas image

This is a fresh way to use leftover turkey and stuffing for an easy supper.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 poblano chilies
2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups shredded leftover Roast Turkey With Sage and Mushroom Stuffing
1 cup grated white cheddar cheese
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Cranberry relish, or prepared salsa

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Cut stems from chiles; place on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap, and steam 20 minutes. With a paper towel, rub off chile skins; pull out seeds, and discard. Thinly slice chiles; set aside.
  • Brush each side of tortillas with oil, and place on baking sheet. Broil until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn tortillas over. Dividing ingredients evenly, layer with chiles, turkey, cheese, and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Broil until cheese is golden, about 5 minutes. Serve with leftover cranberry relish or prepared salsa.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cornbread that is still slightly warm. If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can use store-bought cornbread, but be sure to warm it up before assembling the tostadas.
  • To make the tostadas crispy, cook them in a hot skillet or griddle until they are golden brown and slightly charred.
  • Feel free to get creative with your toppings. In addition to the turkey and avocado suggested in the recipe, you can also add black beans, corn, salsa, sour cream, or cheese.
  • If you are using a store-bought cornbread mix, be sure to follow the package directions for cooking.
  • You can also make these tostadas ahead of time. Simply assemble the tostadas and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. When you are ready to serve, simply heat them up in a skillet or griddle until they are warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Turkey cornbread tostadas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover turkey and cornbread. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
