Best 4 Daves Turkey Liver PÂtÉ Recipes

TURKEY LIVER PATE (FOIS GRAS)

Steps:

• Place stock in a heavy pan; add salt and bring to a boil. Gently add liver with a spoon and return to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until liver is completely opaque in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove liver from the pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Put liver into a food mixer. Add cream, a little at a time, and process until smooth. Season with pepper. Chill before serving, if desired.

POULTRY LIVER PATE WITH TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Combine chicken livers and ham in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add sausage, thyme, egg, and salt. Process for 10 seconds. Stir in truffles.
• Line a terrine mould with bacon, making sure you have some overhang so you can cover the pate with it. Spoon mixture into the mould and even it out with a spatula. Scatter bay leaves on top. Fold extra bacon on top of the mixture and cover mould with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pate has set, about 1 hour. Allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before slicing.

CHICKEN-LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
• Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.
