Give plain old turkey a brand-new spin with classic Indian spices. My version's pretty mild, but if you're in the mood for fire, add extra curry and a shake or two of cayenne pepper. This dish disappears fast, no matter who's at the table. -Lori Lockrey, Scarborough, Ontario

MAMAW'S CREAMED TURKEY OVER TOAST



Mamaw's Creamed Turkey over Toast image

The day after Thanksgiving you can achieve the very pinnacle of comfort food! My mom ended up having to bake several turkeys a year just so we could get this stuff. Some very knowledgeable 'Zaarites helped me to ressurect it as the recipe had been lost.

Provided by Bone Man

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups cooked turkey, deboned and roughly chopped
12 slices white bread, toasted

Steps:

  • In a large no-stick skillet, begin heating the milk, margarine and chicken stock over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour right away, eliminating all lumps, and as it comes to a boil, it should thicken.
  • Add the salt and pepper. (Black pepper is okay as a substitute).
  • As it thickens, toss in the chopped turkey and stir carefully as to not break up the chunks too much.
  • If it gets too thick, just add some milk and stir.
  • As soon as the mix is thick enough to your liking, it is done. Turn off the heat and cover until serving.
  • Serve over slices of toast or, make up some of your favorite biscuits instead.
  • If you have some left-over turkey broth from the day before when the turkey was baked, use that instead of chicken stock.
  • Note: the more dark meat, the better. It really adds to the flavor of this dish.

CREAMY TURKEY STEW



Creamy Turkey Stew image

This is a variation on a recipe from Ontario Turkey. We like our version much better. The difference is poultry seasoning, no wine, and starting with cooked leftover turkey. We usually make a double batch and it never lasts very long.

Categories     Milk/Cream     turkey     Roast     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Family Reunion     Christmas Eve     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12-to 14-pound) turkey, neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved for turkey stock
2 1/2 cups water, divided
About 4 cups hot turkey giblet stock
Melted unsalted butter if necessary
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
Equipment: a 17- by 14-inch flameproof roasting pan with a flat rack; kitchen string; a 2-quart measuring cup or a fat separator

Steps:

  • Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Put turkey on rack in roasting pan and season inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Fold neck skin under body, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with string. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third.
  • Add 1 cup water to pan and roast, without basting, rotating pan halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of each thigh (test both; do not touch bone) registers 165 to 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 hours total.
  • Carefully tilt turkey so juices from inside large cavity run into pan. Transfer turkey to a platter (reserve juices in roasting pan) and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 170 to 175°F). Discard string.
  • Make gravy while turkey rests:
  • Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into 2-quart measure and skim off fat (or use a fat separator), reserving fat. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add remaining 1 1/2 cups water and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Strain through sieve into measuring cup containing pan juices. Add enough turkey giblet stock to pan juices to bring total to 5 cups.
  • Put 5 tablespoons reserved fat (if there is less, add melted butter) in a 4-quart heavy saucepan and whisk in flour. Cook roux over medium heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Add stock mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly, then add cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Bring to a boil, whisking, then stir in any turkey juices from platter and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Brown the turkey in batches: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.

  • Serve the turkey in cream sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
