Turkeyfricassee Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the flour and margarine form a paste.
• Whisk cream into flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time until smoothly combined; whisk in chicken broth and parsley. Bring sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened.
• Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together in a bowl.
• Whisk egg yolk mixture slowly into cream mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce barely comes to a simmer and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
• If thicker sauce is desired, whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup of sauce in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture back into sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir chicken breast pieces into sauce until chicken is heated through.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a deep frying or sauté pan until sizzling, then add the mushrooms and fry for 4-5 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the flour and stir until a paste forms. Cook for a few more minutes.
• Splash in the wine or sherry and let it bubble for a minute, then stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the cream. Season, then stir in the turkey. Simmer until the turkey is heated through, then remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, if using. Serve with pasta, mash or rice.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chicken in 2 batches, skin side down first, turning over once, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet, then cook shallots, garlic, and bay leaf over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil. Stir in cream, broth, and 1 tablespoon tarragon, then add chicken, skin side up, and simmer, covered, until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered. If necessary, boil sauce until thickened slightly.
• Stir in lemon juice, remaining 1/2 tablespoon tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste. Discard bay leaf; pour sauce over chicken.

Steps:

• Before anything, prep the broccoli. Thaw in a covered, microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom. Cook broccoli for 3-4 minutes, long enough to defrost it, but not cook it completely. If using fresh broccoli, skip this step.
• Melt the butter in a pot or dutch oven.
• Add onion and cook until translucent.
• Add flour to the onion and butter in the pan and stir until combined.
• Cook flour mixture for about a minute.
• Add stock.
• Stirring constantly, heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Once the fricasse reaches a simmer turn the heat down to medium, cover and cook for ~30 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's done when the vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the shallots with the white wine for 2 minutes.
• Add the celery and cook for 1 minute, then the shrimp, and cook for another minute. Add the scallops and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently.
• Turn up heat to high, and add the squid, red pepper and tomato. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
• Add the butter, kaffir lime leaf, chili and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld.
• Distribute the fricassee into 4 warm serving bowls. Serve with toasted sourdough bread.

Steps:

• Cut the lamb in portions.
• Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pot and brown the lamb in it.
• Strain excess fat. Take out the lamb.
• Add the rest of the butter, salt& pepper, the lettuce, the onions and the lamb.
• Cover and simmer for about 1 hours Stir.
• Don't fret about not having any water in the stew. The veggies will provide it as they cook.
• Prepare the avgolemono sauce, by beating together the eggs, lemon juice and flour (I use about 2 tsp).
• Just before serving, pour the avgolemono in the pot, simmer lightly and serve hot.
• Note: With 2 - 3 (2 - 3 lbs) heads of lettuce and 3 lbs of green onions, you will need a pretty big pot to hold all the chopped veggies. These will cook down to half the raw amount.
