ZIPPY TURKEY STOUP



Zippy Turkey Stoup image

No, that's not a typo. My DH calls my soups "stoup" because I make them THICK. My oldest son is down with a head cold and a sore throat and I didn't have time for my usual, homemade chicken and noodle soup so I whipped this up instead of the planned dinner he wouldn't have been able to eat. You don't have to have a head cold to enjoy this. You just need to be looking for a bowlful of meaty goodness and colorful veggies with a little extra zip. Note -- "vegetable juice cocktail" is V-8. But that isn't in the ingredient database so I can't say it.

Categories     Poultry

Time 35m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground turkey
1 large onion
1 -2 cup chopped zucchini (1, 8-10-inch or 2, 6-inch squash)
1 -2 cup chopped yellow squash (1, 8-10-inch or 2, 6-inch squash)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 lb frozen spinach (optional)
2 small fresh jalapeno peppers, minced
2 garlic cloves, put through press
1 tablespoon parsley
2 teaspoons oregano
4 cups chicken stock
8 -12 ounces vegetable juice cocktail (optional) or 8 -12 ounces tomato juice (optional)
1 cup rice
olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large pot, brown the ground turkey and onions in a little olive oil.
  • Add all the other ingredients and bring to boil.
  • Simmer 15-20 minutes, until rice is soft and flavors are well blended.
  • Note: If you prefer a thinner, more brothy consistency add more chicken stock and taste to adjust seasonings.
  • Note: The jalapenos don't make this really hot -- just a little zippy. If even this is too much substitute the milder Anaheims or "Cubanelle"-type sweet peppers. If its not spicy enough for you go for whatever variety suits your taste.
  • Note -- I haven't frozen it, but it ought to freeze as well as any other soup.

TORTILLA CASSEROLE WITH TURKEY



Tortilla Casserole with Turkey image

Provided by Tom Gilliland

Categories     Blender     Cheese     Dairy     Garlic     Herb     turkey     Vegetable     Bake     Cinco de Mayo

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon corn oil
18 corn tortillas
3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 cups chayote* or other squash, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
2 cups green beans, steamed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 to 3 cups leftover turkey, shredded
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterrey Jack or panela cheese**
6 cups Salsa de Tomatillo***
2 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Salsa de Tomatillo
Makes 5 to 6 cups.
60 tomatillos, husked and rinsed (about 3 pounds)
8 serrano chiles (seeded and deveined for a milder dish)
4 cups water
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sea salt to taste
*Chayote, also known as christophene and mirliton, is a mild-tasting, pear-shaped squash. Any summer squash can be substituted.
**Panela is a salty, crumbly cow's milk cheese. Feta is a good substitute.
***Tomatillos are often referred to as "green tomatoes," but are members of the gooseberry family. To prepare tomatillos for the salsa, remove their papery husks and rinse away their sticky outer coating. Or, canned whole tomatillos are available under the San Marcos brand.

Steps:

  • Prepare the Salsa de Tomatillo. In a heavy, 6-quart, nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat, combine tomatillos, chiles, and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the tomatillos are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 to 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Working in batches, combine tomatillos, chiles, reserved cooking liquid, garlic, and cilantro in a blender and blend to a smooth puree. In a heavy, 12-inch, deep-sided skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the tomatillo mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add salt to taste.
  • Prepare the casserole. In a heavy, 10-inch skillet, heat 3/4 cup of the corn oil over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Using tongs, submerge the tortillas, one at a time, in the hot oil for about 10 seconds (the tortillas should remain pliable). Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Lightly oil a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and set aside. In a heavy, 12-inch, nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add both kinds of squash and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes. Add the corn and green beans and cook until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange 6 of the softened tortillas in the prepared baking dish, overlapping the edges. Cover with half of the shredded turkey, half of the vegetable mixture, 1 cup of the cheese, 1 cup of the Salsa de Tomatillo, and 3/4 cup of the sour cream. Repeat the layering process with 6 additional tortillas, the remaining turkey, vegetable mixture, and cheese, 1 cup of the Salsa de Tomatillo, and 3/4 cup of the sour cream. Top with the remaining 6 tortillas. Drizzle with 1 cup of the Salsa de Tomatillo, cover with foil, and bake in preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until heated through.
  • During the last few minutes of the cooking time, heat the remaining 3 cups Salsa de Tomatillo over low heat and keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sour cream and the milk; drizzle over the hot casserole when it comes out of the oven. Serve the hot casserole with hot Salsa de Tomatillo on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give you plenty of room to cook the turkey and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the turkey and vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the turkey until it is browned: This will help to develop flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: This will help to add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: This will make them tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Zippy Turkey Tortilla Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
