Eye Studded Turkey Tenderloin Pearl Onions And Black Olives Recipes

TURKEY TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Make the marinade by combinging all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
• Put the turkey in a sealable container. Pour the marinade over the turkey tenderloin. Place the container in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Take the turkey out of the marinade and place in the baking dish, discarding the rest of the marinade.
• Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes or until the turkey registers 165 degrees. We highly recommend checking the temperature at 40 minutes as this recipe can quickly go from undercooked to over done.

TURKEY AND POBLANO RED EYE STEW

Steps:

• Over an open flame or under the broiler, char the peppers all over. Cover and cool enough to handle. Peel and seed the peppers, then puree 3 of them with 1 cup of the stock in a food processor. Dice the remaining 2 peppers into bite-size pieces and reserve for later use.
• Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat, add the potatoes and chile powder, and then season with salt and pepper. Cook until the potatoes start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and onions, and cook to tender, 7 to 8 minutes more. Add the coffee, Worcestershire, sugar, bay leaf, cinnamon, the remaining 3 cups stock, the pureed peppers and the chopped peppers.
• Pour the boiling water over the masa and stir, then add to stew. Add the turkey to the stew and simmer to thicken.
• Serve the stew in shallow bowls.
• Place the buttermilk, Sriracha, salt, peppercorns, garlic, lemon, chives, dill and parsley in a double-bagged 2 1/2-gallon plastic resealable bag. Add the turkey breasts and refrigerate on the bottom shelf of the fridge overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Arrange a metal rack over or in a rimmed baking sheet and rub the rack with oil. Remove turkey breasts from the brine and pat them dry. Arrange the breasts on the prepared baking rack and coat the skin with a little oil, sprinkle with poultry seasoning and cook until a thermometer reads 165 degrees F and the skin is light to medium golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

GLAZED PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add pearl onions; boil for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; peel. , In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions; cook for 6-8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook 18-20 minutes longer or until onions are golden brown, stirring occasionally. Serve with a slotted spoon.

ROASTED BLACK OLIVES AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°.
• Spread the olives on a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they have shriveled a bit and are slightly crunchy, but not crisped or burned.
• Let them cool in the pan (they'll dry more and become a bit crunchier).
• Meanwhile, cut off the root end of each onion, but don't peel them.
• In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups water and the vinegar to a boil and drop in all the onions, cook for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on their size, until they feel soft all the way through when you squeeze them, but not mushy.
• Drain and let them cool.
• Remove the skin (or pop the onion out of the skin by squeezing at the top).
• If the onions are 3/4" or more, slice them open and flake them apart, separating the layers; tiny onions can be left whole.
• Toss the olives, onions, and orange zest in a bowl.
• Dress with the oil and juice to taste.
• Marinate briefly or overnight, refrigerated, if you want.
• Serve at room temperature in a shallow bowl with a serving spoon.

SWEET AND SOUR TURKEY TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Drain pineapple chunks and set fruit aside. Combine pineapple juice with chicken broth, apricot preserves, vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add tenderloins to the cold skillet and place over medium heat. Cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove tenderloins to a plate.
• Add carrots and onion to the skillet, adding a little cooking spray or broth if needed. Saute for 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and saute for 1 more minute.
• Pour in pineapple juice mixture and return tenderloins to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat until tenderloins are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove tenderloins from the skillet and slice; keep warm.
• Stir cornstarch and water together in a small dish until smooth. Add to the skillet with the reserved pineapple chunks. Cook over medium heat until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over sliced tenderloins.
