Fast & Easy Dinner: Turkey Taco Salad

partysugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:45:38 -0700

Taco salad is one of my guilty pleasure foods. When I'm alone at my parents' house, I like to make a large one and enjoy it for several meals.

This divine variation features ground turkey mixed with a store made salsa. The recipe calls for zucchini and bell pepper, but if you prefer eggplant and squash, use those instead.

To make a vegetarian version replace the ground turkey with canned beans. Sound tasty? Get the recipe:

'Wich of the Week: Monte Cristo

YumSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 14:00:26 -0700

If there were any doubts about my intense love for sandwiches, this post should put them to rest, because I consumed this Monte Cristo at Canter's Deli in Los Angeles a mere three hours after eating an enormous French Dip at Philippe's. Hey, I was only in town for a few days, and there were many iconic sandwiches to be consumed!

Like the French Dip, the Monte Cristo was invented in Southern California. Traditionally, a Monte Cristo is made with bread dipped in egg — essentially, French toast — and filled with ham, turkey, and swiss cheese. The sweet, salty delight is then topped with powdered sugar and strawberry preserves. For more history and a recipe for the Monte Cristo,

Make Your Own Goulash

YumSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:15:22 -0700

A few weeks ago I asked my dad if he could give me his recipe for goulash. I grew up eating this tomato-pasta-ground-meat goodness — which is nothing like Czech goulash — on a regular basis and was really craving it. However, when I asked him for it, he just laughed and said there was no real recipe. He tweaks it and makes it up each time, depending on what is available. So I went to the store, grabbed a few items, and made my own version.

The dish is easy enough for a weeknight meal, but hearty enough for a weekend. If you want to see how mine came together,

Monday's Leftovers: Turkey Quesadilla

partysugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:13:33 -0700

At Thanksgiving time it's easy to pile leftover turkey — along with all of the other leftovers — into a delicious sandwich. During the rest of the year, get creative when using leftover turkey. This recipe makes a tasty turkey quesadilla. The turkey is tossed with salsa verde and placed on top of two cheese-filled tortillas. More cheese, cilantro, and green onions finish the pie. The dish is broiled in the oven until the ingredients are warmed and the tops of the tortillas are crisp.

Don't have leftover turkey? This recipe works wonderfully with chicken as well. Get it now when you

Sunday Dinner: Spice Rubbed Turkey Breast With Orange Sauce

partysugar — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 06:32:31 -0700

Turkey is such a wonderful and delicious meat that it shouldn't only be cooked on Thanksgiving. Fresh turkey breasts — which roast or grill much quicker than a whole turkey —can be found at grocery stores year round, so why not make it tonight?

To maximize flavor this turkey is brined, before being rubbed with a fragrant mixture of spices. A scrumptious sour orange sauce accompanies the moist turkey meat. To take a look at this recipe,

Gobble Up Spicy Turkey Sloppy Tacos

YumSugar — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:14:51 -0700

While I love trying new recipes, most of the time I end up using them as launching pads. We've been eating a lot of turkey burgers in the Yum household and I was up for a change. So, knowing that there was a pound of ground turkey in the fridge, I suggested Sloppy Joes. We had most of the fixings, and just ran with it. Half way through we realized that in addition to not having any bell peppers, chiles, or green onions — which the original recipe called for — we also were out of bread or buns.

So what did we do? We put the sloppy mixture on to really hefty handmade corn tortillas and sprinkled it with cilantro! It was a fantastic way to use up the last of our tortillas and it ended up being really delicious. The corn flavor paired nicely with the sloppy joe seasonings, and the cilantro gave it a nice finish. In the end I was glad we decided to run with it despite not having all the ingredients.

If you want to see the recipe I started with — the nice kick comes from beer! — then just

Fast & Easy Dinner: Turkey Sliders with Warm Potato Salad

Yet, there is something so deliciously appealing about a bite-sized burger — especially when topped with melted cheese and slathered with spicy mustard like this version. A quick potato salad — made with oil and vinegar instead of mayonnaise — completes this satisfying meal. For the recipes,

'Wich of the Week: Herb Roasted Turkey With Cranberry Sauce

After a morning of errands last weekend, I rewarded myself with an enormous Herb Roasted Sonoma Turkey sandwich from Pluto's, a local chain known for its sammies, salads, and comfort foods like mashed potatoes and stuffing. The aroma there always reminds me of Thanksgiving, so a sandwich made from freshly carved turkey and cranberry sauce was a must.

You Gotta Eat Food to Donate Food

YumSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:13:19 -0800

You may have eaten a lot of food on Thanksgiving, but did you eat enough to feed ten people? Tim "Eater X" Janus did. In a strange publicity stunt aimed to draw attention to New York City's hungry, competitive eaters from around the globe gathered to see who could eat the most during a Thanksgiving battle. Janus pushed out his competitors — including hot dog champ Joey Chestnut — by chowing down on a 10-lb. turkey, 4 lbs. of mashed potatoes, 3 lbs. of cranberry sauce, and 2.5 lbs. of beans. The event raised $6,000 — enough for 30,000 meals — for the Food Bank of New York City. The week prior, the league donated $4,000 to Second Harvest food bank.

On one hand it's fantastic to see that they're donating the funds, on the other it's a sad that a waste of food is needed in order to donate food. What do you think?

52 Weeks of Baking: Two Turkey Pies

YumSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 10:27:19 -0800

I don't know about you guys, but after a week of cooking and prepping for Thanksgiving, I am looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation. That said, I've decided to cheat a little bit on this week's baking project. I wanted to figure out a way to use all the turkey leftovers, without causing a lot of work. So, instead of making my own pastry crust, I decided to pick up two premade crusts and turn them into two different turkey pot pies.

I only have one pie dish, so I put half of the mixture in it and inverted one of the pie crusts as a top crust. For the other pie, I put in half the mixture and topped with leftover mashed potatoes, creating a shepherd's pie.

Plan now for Friday's leftovers, pick up two extra pie crusts and call it a day. To get the easy recipe,

Is the Jennie-O Oven-Ready Turkey Really Worth It?

YumSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:01:33 -0800

A few days ago the folks at Jennie-O sent us one of their Oven-Ready freezer to oven turkeys. According to their website these turkeys — which have been around for the last four years — require, "No Thawing. No Mess. No Prep. No Apron." That's right, no thawing. You literally take it out of the freezer and you stick it in the oven. In fact, you don't have to touch the bird ever.

I must admit, upon learning how it works — cooked in "Fool-Proof" bag — I was more than just a little skeptical. However, in the name of tasty eats, I knew I had to try it.

So how did it turn out? Was it really "fool-proof" and was it tasty? To find out the answer to these questions and more,

Thanksgiving Tip: How to Roast a Turkey

partysugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:23:30 -0800

Although there are many alternative ways to cook a turkey — grilling, smoking, deep frying, etc. — the most classic way to cook the Thanksgiving bird is in the oven. Here are some tips that will help you roast your turkey:

Invest in a roasting thermometer.
Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey's thigh. Make sure the thermometer does not touch the turkey's bone because it will throw off your reading.
When the thermometer reads 160°F–165°F the bird is properly cooked. Take the turkey out of the oven and let sit, untouched tented with foil, for 20–30 minutes. The turkey will continue to cook while it rests, increasing the temperature to around 180°F.
Depending on the shape and size of your bird and its temperature when it enters the oven, the turkey should take anywhere from 1.5–5.5 hours to cook.
Follow the recipe you are using to set the oven temperature and determine whether or not you should baste the turkey. Generally turkeys roast at about 300–325°F.

Thanksgiving Tips: How to Select the Right Turkey

YumSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:27:11 -0800

You may have perfected your Thanksgiving menu, including a mouth-watering recipe for Herb-Butter Turkey, but do you know how to choose the perfect bird to serve at your big feast? Have you figured out how big it should be? Do you know the difference between frozen and fresh? If you'd like the answer to these questions, then keep on reading, I've compiled a few tips to help you out.

To figure out how big of a turkey you should buy, a good rule of thumb is about 1 lb. per person, more if you want leftovers and less if those people are children (unless they're children with adult appetites!). If the turkey is prestuffed, up the amount to 1.75–2 lbs. per person.
Generally speaking, the younger the bird, the better the flavor and tenderness. Fryer (also called roaster) turkeys are less than four months old and the most tender turkey you can buy. Young turkeys are four to eight months old and have soft, smooth skin. A yearling is a 12-month-old turkey and is reasonably tender. A mature (also called old) is one that is older than 15 months. The meat is tough and it is not well suited for roasting.

There's no way around it, November means Thanksgiving. Whether you're prepping your own meal, or headed over to someone else's house, you will definitely find something on our list of must haves.

To start things off, we've got the Willie Bird Fresh Organic Turkey ($65-$85). It's raised on natural grains and vegetables in Sonoma County, California. In addition to being organic and free-range, it has a clean turkey flavor.
Once you get a fabulous turkey, you're going to need a large roaster to cook it in. This Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roaster with V-Rack ($99.95) is sleek and contains an aluminum core for superb heat conductivity. It's large enough for a 25lb turkey and the rack is non-stick.
If you're looking to take the leap from mashed potatoes to thinly-sliced gratin, then you're going to need a slicer or mandoline. This Zyliss 4-In-1 Multi Slicer/Grater ($19.95) will make slicing and grating a breeze!
Need a great way to get the conversation started? These TableTopics Conversation Starters will help you break the ice. Each set of conversation starting questions will help maneuver through those awkward party moments. They're perfect for the host, and great for a guest to bring as well.

Come Party With Me: My First Thanksgiving — Menu (Part 1)

partysugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 08:29:15 -0700

The most important thing to remember when planning your first Thanksgiving is to stay calm. Really, Thanksgiving is just like any old dinner party, but with the menu already established. Don't try to do everything yourself and do get help from the store. Start by creating a massive grocery list of everything you will need. Next, figure out a cooking timeline and schedule. Read each of the following recipes carefully.

For appetizers, create a cheese platter of three cheeses — a soft, spreadable goat, a pungent cheddar, and a creamy blue — with dried fruit, nuts, and crackers. Prosciutto wrapped figs are a delicious accompaniment. Don't take on too many dishes for the main meal. Serve the classics: roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a green salad. Purchase a store bought cranberry sauce and gravy, and if desired, ask a trusted friend who enjoys cooking to make a few more sides.
