DIJON TURKEY DINNER

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes, adding the scallions during the last minute. Drain.
• Meanwhile, season the turkey with the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side; remove to a plate.
• Add the broth to the skillet, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and half of the butter. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Melt the remaining butter in the pot used for the potatoes over medium heat. Add the potatoes, 1/4 cup water, the peas, lemon zest, parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until the peas are tender, 3 minutes. Serve with the turkey, pan sauce and lemon wedges.

TURKEY PATTY MELT

Steps:

• For the turkey patties: In a large bowl, combine the turkey, ricotta, sage, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal patties and press them into 1/4-inch-thin rounds.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle pan to medium-high heat.
• Add the canola oil and sear the patties on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.
• For the sandwich build: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread, then a turkey burger, followed by about 1/4 cup Caramelized Onions. Place the top piece of bread on and then butter each side of the sandwich.
• Griddle each side over medium heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. If you have a metal bowl, cover the sandwiches so they steam a bit and the cheese will melt faster. Serve with good ol' yellow mustard if you like and a big pile of oven fries.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, let the butter mel,t and then add in the onions and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then cover the pot and lower the heat to medium-low.
• Let the onions sweat, steam and soften for 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the onions cook for about an hour, checking on the onions frequently and stirring.
• Once the onions are fully caramelized, and a deep golden color, add the sherry and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the thyme, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
