V'S SOFT TURKEY TAQUITOS WITH SOUTHWESTERN DIP



V's Soft Turkey Taquitos With Southwestern Dip image

Every year my dad would make these taquitos with leftover turkey. The corn tortillas are lightly fried in oil, rolled with turkey and sealed on a griddle and come out soft with a nice crunch with the turkey still moist and delicious. These are awesome because they are not deep fried or baked. I took over the tradition and have been making these for years. My family won't eat any leftover turkey in any other form except these soft taquitos. We look forward to these as an appetizer or a meal served with my own Southwestern Dip, Cheese Sauce, Salsa and my Chunky Guacomole the day after thanksgiving.

Time 35m

Yield 45 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups shredded cooked turkey or 4 cups cooked chicken
45 corn tortillas, room temp
1/2 cup canola oil, for frying
salt
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon dried chives
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon jalepeno salt (or regular salt)
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon white pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the Dip and refrigerate ahead of time.
  • Mix sour cream and mayonaise together in a bowl. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry spices to sour cream and mayonaise mixture stir to combine, cover & refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  • Taquito instructions: Heat oil in frying pan. Add one corn tortilla and fry for just a second, then turn and repeat. Place tortilla on a paper towel lined cookie sheet fitting about 6-8 per sheet. Place another papertowel over the tortillas and repeat with the rest until all are cooked. Sprinkle Salt over the tortillas as you go.
  • Once all the tortillas have been lightly fried and are soft, take shredded turkey and place on tortilla in a line. Gently fold tight and place seam side down on another cookie sheet. Repeat until all the taquitos are rolled.
  • Heat an electric skillet or griddle between 300-350' and oil surface generously. Place one taquito seam side down, add another right up against it and continue until you have a row across the skillet and taquitos are secure. Continue another row if you have room (I can generally cook about 25-30 at a time) Check the first taquito by rolling or using tongs to make sure seam is secure before turning. Roll taquitos left to right and let them cook 1-2 minutes, then roll again until they are secure and golden.
  • Place taquitos on platter and serve with Southwestern Dip, Salsa, Guacomole, Sour Cream, heated cheese whiz or whatever you like!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil cooking spray
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 packed cups baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup mascarpone, at room temperature (8 ounces)
Eighteen 6 1/2-inch-diameter extra-thin or regular corn tortillas
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded white or extra sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
Serving suggestion: salsa or guacamole

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy nonstick baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • For the filling: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. Cook the onions, salt and pepper, stirring frequently, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the turkey and cumin. Cook until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the beans. Mash the beans until smooth, using a fork. Stir in the mascarpone.
  • Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush each side of the tortillas with olive oil. Cook the tortillas in batches until warm, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into each tortilla and roll up into a cigar shape. Place the tortillas, seam-side-down, on the baking sheet and sprinkle with Cheddar. Bake until the Cheddar is melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve with salsa and guacamole.

1 1/2 cups shredded turkey
1 1/2 cups shredded jack cheese
1/2 cup Mexican-flavored canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
18 white or yellow corn tortillas
Serving suggestion: Serve with Cranberry Salsa, recipe follows.

Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup Mexican-flavored canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Sweat the onion, garlic, and jalapeno in a saute pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Remove from the heat and add to a large bowl. To the bowl, add the shredded turkey, cheese, tomatoes and season with salt, and pepper, to taste. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are pliable.
  • Fill the tortillas with a tablespoon of filling and roll into a thin taquito, securing with a toothpick. Keep the taquitos covered with a damp towel before cooking otherwise the corn tortillas will dry out and crack. Heat 2 cups oil in a straight-sided pan to 350 degrees F. Place the taquitos in the hot oil in batches and shallow fry until crisp, rolling to cook all sides, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain the taquitos on paper towels and salt. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
  • Place the cranberry sauce, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, onion, red pepper, green pepper, tomatoes, and salt, and pepper, to taste in a food processor and pulse until blended, but still chunky. Serve with Turkey Taquitos.

SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY



Southwestern Turkey image

Look to sassy southwestern flavors and stuff this turkey with Slow Cooker Chorizo, Pecan and Cheddar Stuffing when you want to go above and beyond.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 4h20m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole turkey, (12 to 14 pounds), thawed if frozen
8 to 10 fresh sage leaves
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 to 2 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, (from 7-ounce can), finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F.
  • Starting at the back opening of the turkey, gently separate skin from turkey breast, using fingers. Place sage leaves under the skin.
  • Make a stuffing, if desired, but do not cook. Stuff turkey just before roasting, not ahead of time. Fill neck cavity lightly with stuffing. Fasten neck skin to back of turkey with skewer. Fold wings across back of turkey so tips are touching. Fill body cavity lightly with stuffing. (Do not pack stuffing because it will expand during roasting.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
  • Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Heat butter, chili powder, cumin and chilies until butter is melted. Brush turkey with 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in the thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone. (Do not add water or cover turkey.)
  • Roast uncovered 3 hours to 3 hours 45 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining butter mixture. After roasting about 2 hours, place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turn golden, and cut band of skin or remove tie holding drumsticks to allow inside of thighs to cook through.
  • Turkey is done when thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing will read 165°F. If a meat thermometer is not used, begin testing for doneness after about 2 hours 30 minutes. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Let stand about 15 minutes for easiest carving. Garnish with whole chilies and additional sage leaves if desired.
  • While turkey is standing, skim fat from drippings. Pour just the drippings into 1-quart saucepan; heat to boiling. Serve with turkey. Cover and refrigerate any remaining turkey and stuffing separately.

Tips:

  • To make the turkey taquitos more flavorful, marinate the turkey in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

  • For a healthier version of the taquitos, use whole-wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
  • To make the southwestern dip, use a variety of fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers.
  • For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the taquitos with the southwestern dip and your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.

This recipe for soft turkey taquitos with southwestern dip is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
