TURKEY BREAST - CLAY POT-LUCY PINE



TURKEY BREAST - CLAY POT-LUCY PINE image

Categories     Poultry

Number Of Ingredients 5

You will need a unglazed terra cotta clay pot - probably a Romertopf that has been immersed in cold water for 15minutes before cooking.
1 fat onion, sliced rather thin
1 - 5 lb. turkey breast, preferably fresh, organic
free range
beef granules, probably Wylers

Steps:

  • Put a layer of onion over bottom of pot. Wash turkey breast, dry with paper towel, and sprinkle with beef granules-- (provides seasoning and color) Put lid on and put in cold oven. Set to 450 or 480. Takes about 1 - 1/2 hours. Check at one hour. Use instant thermometer or be sure juices run clear. IMMEDIATELY pour broth into another pan or container as they will disappear almost instantly and you don't want to lose any. Set aside to rest a few minutes, covered with foil. Cut lengthwise off bone and then slice crosswise to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right clay pot: Look for a pot that is unglazed, as this will allow the pot to absorb moisture and heat evenly. Make sure the pot is also large enough to accommodate your ingredients.
  • Soak the clay pot before use: This will help to prevent the pot from cracking when it is heated. Soak the pot in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using it.
  • Use a diffuser or heat shield: This will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the food from burning. You can use a metal trivet, a heat diffuser, or even a layer of salt to create a barrier between the pot and the heat source.
  • Start with a low heat: Gradually increase the heat as needed. This will help to prevent the food from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Add moisture to the pot: Clay pots are porous, so they can absorb moisture from the food. If the food is dry, add a little bit of water, broth, or sauce to the pot. This will help to keep the food moist and prevent it from sticking.
  • Be patient: Cooking in a clay pot takes longer than cooking in a regular pot or pan. Be patient and allow the food to cook slowly and evenly.

Conclusion:

Cooking in a clay pot is a great way to create delicious, flavorful dishes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your clay pot cooking experience is a success. With a little practice, you'll be able to create amazing meals that your family and friends will love.
