TURKEY BREAST WITH OYSTER STUFFING



Turkey Breast with Oyster Stuffing image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups onion, finely diced (about 2 to 3 large onions)
1 1/2 cups celery diced (about 6 stalks)
1-ounce dried sage
12 cups day old bread, broken up (about 1 loaf)
2/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/4 cups clarified butter
18 medium shucked oysters
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 to 3 pounds boneless turkey breast, skin on
Turkey neck and giblets to make 1 cup turkey giblet stock
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside to drain. Add onion, celery, and sage to the bacon fat rendered in the skillet, and cook until onions are translucent and celery is soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sage and broken-up bread to the skillet. Stir in parsley, butter, oysters, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss stuffing, but mix well, and let cool.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butterfly the turkey breast with smooth side down and stuff, folding edges over to hold stuffing. (You may want to secure with skewers or cotton kitchen twine.) Season turkey breast with salt and pepper and place into the oven to roast until it reaches an internal temperature of about 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • While turkey is in oven, place the turkey neck and giblets in a medium saucepan with 4 cups water and cook until you have about 1 cup of giblet stock. Reserve the neck and giblets, removing meat from neck when cool enough to handle and chopping giblets. When turkey is done, remove breast to a platter to let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Skim most of the fat from the pan juices, reserving 1/3 cup of the fat. Add the wine to the remaining pan juices and cook over medium high heat until reduced by half. In a separate saucepan, heat reserved 1/3 cup of fat and whisk in flour over moderately low heat for a few minutes to make a roux. Add stock and wine reduction, continuing to cook until gravy simmers. Add reserved cooked and chopped giblets and neck meat. Slice turkey to reveal stuffed interior and arrange on plate. Serve with gravy.

OYSTER STUFFING CAKES



Oyster Stuffing Cakes image

When you get your hands on ice-cold oysters straight from the Chesapeake Bay, it would be foolish to do anything beyond shuck and slurp. But in the 19th century, oysters were so plentiful in eastern Virginia and Maryland that they burrowed their way into the region's cooking traditions. Most were smoked and salted, roasted over fire, dropped into chowders and stews and used in stuffings. The chef Peter Woods at Merroir in Topping, Va., serves this crisp, savory treat in fall and winter as an appetizer, or as a main course with a big winter salad of bitter greens, pears or dried fruit and toasted nuts.Try to buy the oysters for this recipe at a fish store with high turnover and have the counterman shuck them for you; if you can't, even packaged shucked oysters will do fine. They are chopped up small in this recipe so they melt into the bread and herbs, and their briny liquor binds the mixture. You taste umami and butter and salt, but nothing screams "Oyster!"

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pint (about 2 dozen) Eastern (virginica) shucked oysters with their liquor, finely chopped
12 ounces stale bread cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 ounces (about 1/3 cup) freshly grated Parmesan
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
3 slices bacon, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, plus extra for binding
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped fine, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped fine, or 1 tablespoon dried
6 fresh sage leaves, minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Coarse salt
Black pepper
Neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola, for pan-frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oysters and their liquor, bread and cheese. Set aside.
  • In a heavy skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bacon and let cook 3 to 5 minutes, until fat has rendered and bacon is cooked through but not crisp.
  • Add celery and onion, stir to coat, then add stock and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until vegetables have softened, 10 minutes. Add herbs and coriander, mix well and turn off heat.
  • Add vegetable mixture to bread mixture in bowl. Toss well, season to taste with salt and pepper, then refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to cook, form chilled mixture into 3 1/2-ounce patties, about the size of a clementine. Let patties come to cool room temperature. Heat a film of oil in a skillet and, working in batches, pan-fry patties, turning once, until browned on both sides and hot all the way through. Serve hot, with bacon scallion cream sauce if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Oysters: Select plump and firm oysters with deep cups. Avoid any with broken shells or discoloration.
  • Shucking Oysters: Use a sturdy oyster knife to pry open the shells. Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts.
  • Reserve the Oyster Liquor: Save the liquor that comes out of the oysters when shucking. It adds rich flavor to the stuffing.
  • Breadcrumbs: Use a combination of fresh and dry breadcrumbs for a crispy yet moist texture.
  • Sautéed Vegetables: Sautéing vegetables like celery, onion, and bell peppers in butter enhances their flavor and adds a savory base to the stuffing.
  • Herbs and Seasonings: Add your favorite herbs and seasonings to the stuffing mixture, such as thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuffing the Oysters: Spoon the stuffing mixture into the oyster shells. Don't overfill them, as the stuffing will expand during baking.
  • Baking Temperature: Bake the stuffed oysters at a high temperature (around 400°F) for a short time (about 10-12 minutes) to prevent the oysters from becoming tough.
  • Garnish: Before serving, garnish the stuffed oysters with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor and color.
