Number Of Ingredients 19

1 medium onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves
1 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1 (1-ounce) piece of baguette, crust discarded and bread torn into small pieces (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons brandy
3/4 pound ground turkey (mix of dark and light meat)
1/4 pound chicken livers, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (1/4-pound ) piece cooked ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Accompaniments: toasted baguette slices and Dijon mustard
Special Equipment
a 6-cup ceramic terrine or an 8- by 4-inch glass loaf pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pulse onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add mushrooms and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down bowl frequently, then stir in salt, pepper, and spices (this makes a duxelles).
  • Cook duxelles in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until a shade darker and most of liquid mushrooms give off has evaporated, about 10 minutes. (Duxelles should not be dry in this recipe.)
  • Soak baguette pieces in milk in a large bowl until milk is absorbed. Stir in egg white, parsley, brandy, turkey, liver, and ham, then duxelles until combined well.
  • Spoon into lightly oiled terrine and bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center registers 170°F and top is firm and browned, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Transfer terrine to a rack and cool. Chill, covered, at least 8 hours (overnight) for flavors to develop.
  • To unmold pâté, drain off any liquid in terrine, then loosen bottom with a spatula. Invert pâté onto a plate, then reinvert onto a serving platter. Cut into slices with a serrated knife and bring to room temperature.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The turkey and chicken livers were cooked well, but the mushrooms were a bit overpowering.
