CORNBREAD "TURKEYS"



Cornbread

These cornbread loaves were baked in a pan with two turkey molds ($36, amazon.com).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups fresh (from about 3 ears) or thawed frozen corn kernels
3 jalapeno chiles, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 shallots, minced
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
2 1/4 cups buttermilk, well shaken
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 5-cup turkey-shaped pans with cooking spray. Melt 1/2 cup butter and let cool.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high. Cook corn, jalapeno, and shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add eggs; whisk eggs into flour mixture.
  • Whisk together melted butter and buttermilk; stir into flour mixture, along with corn mixture and cheddar. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans; smooth tops. Transfer to oven and bake, rotating pans halfway through, until a cake tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before inverting onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the turkey: Use a combination of dark and white meat for a flavorful and moist result. Season the turkey generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • For the cornbread: Use a good quality cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For the tostadas: Use a sturdy corn tortilla that won't break when you top it with the turkey and cornbread mixture. You can also use a flour tortilla if you prefer.
  • For the toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes.

Conclusion:

Turkey cornbread tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or dinner, or a fun appetizer to serve at a party, these tostadas are sure to be a hit.
