First Roast of 2020

First Roast of 2020

We’re not overly keen of the white meat on a Turkey. But when a thigh and drummer are available I grab one. At £4.25 it’s considerable better value weight for weight than a Chicken as we often get 6 servings out of it. On Wednesday we did the Turkey Rissoles, yesterday we had a roast with the thigh. We still have leftovers which will probably make the foundation for a Pasta or Curry dish this evening.

Turkey leg meat doesn’t have a particularly strong flavour so it can be treated like all sorts of other meats. On this occasion Sue might well have been pretending that it was Lamb!

Ingredients:-

1 Turkey Thigh
2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary ( Acquired from the local bush )
4 Cloves of Garlic, halved
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Rub the the thigh with Oil and season well.
(2) Pierce with a knife and push the Garlic into the meat.
(3) Oil a baking tray.
(4) Place the sprig of Rosemary in the tray and sit the Turkey on top.
(5) Cover with foil and place in the oven at 180c for an hour or so.

We enjoyed ours with Gluten free Yorkshire puddings, Roast Potatoes, plenty of Vegetables and home made Gravy. Superb!

Chinese style Turkey Balls recipe, eat well on universal credit

Yes we’ve another round of cooked Turkey to deal with. We all know that recooking Turkey creates a very distinctive and , to us, unpleasant flavour. I think we fixed this!

Marinate Ingredients:-

Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
Oyster Sauce
Tonkatsu Sauce (Gluten free for us)
Chilli Flakes

Batter Ingredients:-

2 Eggs
Soda Water
Gram Flour
Cornflour
1 Tsp of Turmeric
1 Tbsp of Baking Powder

Method:-

(1) Cut the cooked Turkey into Inch (2.2Cm) cubes. Not much smaller as you don’t want the meat to be tough or dry.
(2) Mix the marinade ingredients and add your Turkey cubes. We cut 10 cubes, so 5 each to serve.
(3) Pop in the fridge while you make the batter.
(4) Beat the Eggs.
(5) Add a little Soda Water.
(6) Whisk in the Baking Powder.
(7) Whisk in a 50/50 mix of Gram Flour & Cornflour in stages.

(9) Allow to rest for 20 minutes and remove the Turkey from the fridge.
(10) Heat oil to 170c.
(11) After whisking the batter dunk the coated the Turkey in the Batter and fry until they float. Remove and drain.
(12) When your stir-fry in ready to serve, drop back into the oil to brown.
(13) Drain and serve.

We served ours over a bed of Rice Noddles with a simple Stir-Fry over the top.
