Broiled Turkey Flambé Recipes

FLAMING BROILED PROVOLONE WITH PARSLEY TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Make the toasts: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil and garlic with a pinch of salt. Spread on top of the toasts and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the tray in the oven and cook until the toast is browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven, arrange on a platter and top with the parsley.
• Broil and serve: Arrange the cheese in single layer in a 9-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt, 5-8 minutes. Turn on the broiler and place the dish under the broiler 2 minutes more. Remove, sprinkle with salt and place on the table next to the toasts. Pour the gin over the cheese and carefully light it until it flames. Watch the flame burn until it runs out and dig in!

QUICK & EASY BROILED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ingredients thoroughly with hands.
• Shape into 4-5 patties, approximately 3/4" thick.
• Broil with burgers 3 inches from heat. Cook 5-7 minutes on each side (burgers should brown slightly).

SPICY AND SAVORY BROILED TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly spray a broiling pan with cooking spray.
• Combine turkey, onion, garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, Italian seasoning, cumin, coriander, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix by hand until uniformly combined. Form into 4 patties and place on the prepared pan.
• Broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 6 to 7 minutes per side.

BROILED TURKEY TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, whisk the first eight ingredients; bring to a boil. Set aside 3/4 cup for serving. Brush tenderloins on both sides with remaining sauce., Broil 6 in. from the heat for 5 minutes, basting once. Turn and broil 5-8 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Serve with the reserved sauce.

BROILED TURKEY

Steps:

• Only very young, fresh-killed turkeys weighing from 3 1/2 to 5 pounds broil successfully. Split the turkey and remove the breastbone and backbone. Rub well with oil, salt, pepper and paprika. A clove or two of garlic, finely chopped, may be rubbed into the skin and along the bone of the bird. This gives the turkey a delicious flavor.
• Adjust the broiling pan about 4 to 5 inches from the heat and boil the turkey, bone side to the heat, for approximately 25 minutes, basting occasionally with a little melted butter. Turn at the end of 25 minutes, brush with butter or olive oil, and broil until nicely browned and cooked through, about 18 to 25 minutes more. Be careful not to overcook, or the white meat will be dry and uninteresting.
• Serve the broiled turkey with matchstick potatoes and a good salad. Drink a Beaujolais such as Juliénas.
• Variation: Marinate the turkey in one cup white wine, 1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, 1/4 cup olive oil and one tablespoon Tabasco. Turn the turkey several times during the marinating period. Broil as directed and baste with marinating liquid. Serve with fried rice and tiny cooked green beans with crisp, crumbled bacon and onion.

SUNNY'S BUTTERFLIED ROAST TURKEY WITH EASY ORANGE SPICE RUB

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine the salt, peppercorns, thyme, sage, orange and 1 1/2 gallons water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the salt is dissolved and the water is fragrant. Turn off the heat and let cool completely.
• For the turkey: To brine the turkey, place the turkey in a roasting bag, large plastic bag or bowl large enough to fit it with still more space for the brine. Pour in the brining liquid and seal or cover. If there's not enough room for all of the liquid in the brine, be sure to at least include the herbs, orange and peppercorns. Refrigerate at least overnight and up to 3 days.
• When ready to cook, remove the turkey from the brine and discard all of the brining liquid and solids. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
• To butterfly the turkey, using kitchen shears or a knife, cut out the backbone of the turkey. Break the breastbone to open up and flatten the bird by gently pressing down with the skin-side up. Flip over and pat dry. Using your finger, gently release the skin from the muscle of the turkey and insert the butter pieces between the skin and meat all over the bird.
• For the rub: In a medium bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, chili powder, orange zest, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the rub in a small bowl and set aside.
• Drizzle the turkey with olive oil and sprinkle with the rub. Gently rub into the skin. Place the turkey cavity-side down on a rack in a roasting pan and allow to sit on the countertop for about 2 hours to come to room temperature.
• For the glaze: To the reserved 1 tablespoon of rub, stir in the honey and orange juice until smooth. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add 1 to 2 inches of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. Place the turkey in the oven, lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oven and brush the glaze over the skin. Return to the oven and continue to roast, glazing every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 160 degrees F, 1 to 2 hours.
• Let the turkey rest at room temperature before carving, tented with aluminum foil, until it comes up to 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Plate the turkey and garnish with orange slices and sage and thyme sprigs.

BASIC BRAISED TURKEY

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the turkey and brown the leg (and, if you're using them, wing) portions on the skin side well, 10 minutes or more; turn and cook for another 2 minutes on the skinless side. Remove to a plate and brown the breasts in the same skillet, again mostly on the skin side; remove and keep them separate.
• Heat the oven to 300, and cook the bacon or pancetta (if using) in the remaining fat in the skillet until nearly crisp; remove with a slotted spoon. Cook the onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery and herbs, in batches if necessary, until beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer with the bacon or pancetta to a large roasting pan, then nestle the dark meat in there, leaving room for the breasts. Add stock or water to come about one-third to halfway up the sides of the thighs.
• Roast uncovered for about 90 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure liquid levels remain sufficiently high and stirring vegetables if they threaten to brown too much. When thigh meat is tender, place the breasts in the pan, and cook until tender, 30 to 45 minutes more, or until done. (They should register 155 on an instant-read thermometer.)
• Slice breast and thigh meat and serve on a platter with the vegetables garnished, if you like, with parsley.

HERBED TURKEY LONDON BROIL

Steps:

• Gather and measure ingredients. Place all ingredients into a blender and puree.
• Rub herb puree evenly across the whole breast. Loosely cover with plastic and place turkey in fridge to marinate for 1-2 hours.
• Heat Oven to 375° and place foil on a sheet pan. Once the oven reaches 375° flip the oven off and turn the broiler on to high.
• Place the turkey into the oven on the middle shelf and broil for five minutes. Turkey should cook to a nice golden brown on the top side.
• Turn breast over and broil the other side for another five minutes, watching closely to ensure it doesn't burn.
• Turn the broiler off and set the oven back on to 375°. Let turkey roast in oven for exactly 20 minutes.
• Flip the turkey over and turn oven off (keeping turkey inside). Continue roasting for another 20 minutes.
• Check internal temperature. Turkey is ready when it's 150° in the center.
• Let the turkey rest for fifteen minutes before slicing.

TARTE FLAMBéE

Steps:

• If you have a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack of your oven, top with a baking sheet, and heat the oven to 425 degrees. (If you don't have a stone, just place the baking sheet on the oven rack).
• In a medium bowl, combine crème fraîche, fromage blanc, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Set aside while you make the dough.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk to combine olive oil, egg yolk and 1/4 cup water. Add to dry ingredients and use a fork to combine until it creates a shaggy dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute, until the dough is uniform and elastic. (Flour your hands as necessary to keep the dough from sticking.) Roll out to a 12-inch round, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet without a rim (or use an overturned rimmed baking pan).
• Spread fromage blanc mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges. Sprinkle bacon and onions over fromage blanc. Slide tart, still on parchment paper, off baking sheet and directly onto baking sheet in oven.
• Bake until top is beginning to brown, and sides are golden and crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and slide off parchment paper to serving platter. Serve warm.

THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect medium-high heat.
• Rinse turkey and pat dry. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Return legs to tucked position. Brush turkey with oil. Season inside and out with Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper.
• Place turkey, breast side up, on a metal grate inside a large roasting pan. Arrange pan on the prepared grill. Grill 2 to 3 hours, to an internal thigh temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Remove turkey from grill and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
