Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces frozen and thawed or fresh cranberries
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar, depending on preference
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
3/4 cup fine breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup coarse ground yellow cornmeal
One 2-pound boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut into 8 cutlets
Coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Add the cranberries and sugar to a medium saucepan set over medium heat and cook until the cranberries break down and the mixture reduces by two-thirds, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the mustard and remove from the heat. Using an immersion blender or blender, pulse until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency. Season with salt if needed.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, cheese and cornmeal in a shallow dish. Sprinkle each cutlet with salt and pepper on both sides. Coat each cutlet with sour cream and press into the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet set over medium heat. In batches, pan-fry the turkey cutlets until the first side is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and golden brown, another 3 minutes. Add more oil as needed and repeat for the remaining batches. Serve with the cranberry mustard dipping sauce.

TURKISH CHEESE AND HERB CIGARS



Turkish Cheese and Herb Cigars image

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...except when it is crisp, golden-brown phyllo wrapped around a mix of cheese and herbs. Then it's perfect party fare. Don't be tempted to overstuff the cigars: the smear of salty filling is just enough to balance the layers of phyllo, and excess filling will leak while baking. Rolling the cigars takes a little time, so try making them ahead and freezing them in an airtight container. Bake them right from the freezer, and eat them piping hot.

Time 55m

Yield 12 cigars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces farmer's cheese
2 ounces feta, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 large egg
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill fronds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Six 16- to 17-by-12-inch sheets phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mash the farmer's cheese, feta and mozzarella together in a bowl using a fork. Work the egg in with the fork, then stir in the parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest and a large pinch of black pepper.
  • Put a damp, clean towel on your counter. Unfold the phyllo sheets on top and cover with another damp, clean towel.
  • Put 1 sheet of phyllo on a cutting board with the long side closest to you and brush lightly with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Top with a third sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Cut the phyllo in half crosswise, then cut each half horizontally into thirds. Place the rectangles on a baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
  • Working with one buttered phyllo stack at a time, spread a heaping tablespoon of cheese along the long edge of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border at each end. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up from the bottom edge of the phyllo. Transfer rolled cigars to a baking sheet seam-side down and brush each with a little butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, filling and butter.
  • Bake the cigars, rotating the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden-brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the turkey cigars easier to roll, use thinly sliced turkey breast.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the turkey breast thin.
  • Be careful not to overfill the turkey cigars, or they will be difficult to roll and seal.
  • To ensure that the turkey cigars are cooked through, cook them until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the turkey cigars with your favorite dipping sauce. The cranberry-dijon dipping sauce is a great option.

Conclusion:

Turkey cigars are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with thinly sliced turkey breast, cream cheese, and your favorite fillings. The turkey cigars are then rolled up and baked until golden brown. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
