Maple Mustard Turkey Tenderloins With Cranberry Port Sauce Recipes

ROAST TURKEY WITH MUSTARD-MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Whisk the maple syrup, mustard, horseradish and chile powder in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance; store, covered, in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• Prepare the turkey: Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Season the cavity of the turkey with salt and pepper. Rub the outside of the turkey with the butter and season liberally with salt and pepper. Put 4 cups chicken stock in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Place the carrots, celery and onions in a large roasting pan and place a roasting rack on top. Put the turkey on the rack, place in the oven and roast until light golden brown, about 45 minutes. (Tent the turkey loosely with foil if it is browning too quickly.) Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F, baste with 2 cups warm stock and continue roasting, basting with 2 more cups warm stock halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 155˚, about 1 hour. After the turkey reaches 155˚ F, begin basting with the maple glaze; continue roasting, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165˚ F, about 20 more minutes.
• Remove the turkey from the oven and transfer to a large cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest at least 45 minutes before slicing. Strain the drippings into a bowl and discard the solids. Add enough of the remaining chicken stock to make 6 cups liquid.
• Make the gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock-drippings mixture, then bring to a boil and whisk until the gravy begins thickening and the flour taste has been cooked out, about 10 minutes. Add more stock until you reach the desired consistency. If desired, add a splash of white wine and cook 2 more minutes. Stir in the herbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining stock in a saucepan over low heat. Remove the turkey legs and wings, then remove the dark meat and shred. Remove the breasts and cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Ladle some of the warm stock on top of the turkey and serve with the gravy.

MAPLE-MUSTARD TURKEY TENDERLOINS WITH CRANBERRY-PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350°F. Using kitchen string, tie each tenderloin crosswise in 3 or 4 places, spacing the ties at even intervals. Season the tenderloins with the salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the turkey and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove from the heat. In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup and mustard. Spread about half of the mixture over the tenderloins. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Spread the remaining maple syrup mixture over the tenderloins, return to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins registers 165°F, about 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, in a heavy nonreactive saucepan over high heat, combine the cranberries, port, sugar and crystallized ginger and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, at a brisk simmer, stirring often, until the berries have popped and the juices are syrupy, about 10 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice water. When the sauce is ready, transfer it to a heatproof bowl and nest the bowl in the ice water bath. Let cool, then transfer to a serving bowl. When the tenderloins are done, transfer them to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Snip the strings and cut the tenderloins crosswise into slices 1/2 inch thick. Divide the turkey evenly among warmed dinner plates, fanning the slices. Spoon some of the cranberry sauce next to each portion and serve immediately. Pass the remaining sauce at the table. Serves 4 to 6.

PAN-FRIED PORK WITH MAPLE & MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 3cm thick slices, season with salt and pepper, then lightly coat in the flour (the easiest way to do this is to put the flour and seasoning in a large food bag, add the pork and shake well). Heat the oil in a large frying pan, preferably non-stick, then add the pork and quickly fry until it is browned all over. Cook the pork for about 5 mins, then remove to a plate and cover with foil while you make the sauce.
• Add the onion to the pan (with a touch more oil if needed), then quickly fry until lightly coloured, add the stock, then bring to the boil. Boil hard for a couple of minutes to reduce the stock a little, stir in the maple syrup, mustard and lemon juice, then bring back to the boil, stirring well.
• Return the pork to the pan and gently simmer for a further 3-4 mins until it is cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley, if using.
