CREOLE-STUFFED TURKEY



Creole-Stuffed Turkey image

Trying out new recipes is such a "passion" of mine that my husband sometimes will ask to have something for dinner that he's actually seen before! My Creole-Stuffed Turkey originated when my sister from Texas and her family-who love Southern cooking-were here one Thanksgiving. Everyone kept coming back for another serving...and we ended up stuffed, too.

The sensational Creole Butter helps make the breast meat moist and flavorful and the Recipe #337979 adds to the Creole flavor. You may want to adjust the amount of "hot" in the stuffing to your own heat tolerance!

CREOLE TURKEY MEATLOAF



Creole Turkey Meatloaf image

OK, I had to get creative with meatloaf because my hubby hates it with a capital H! This is the only way he will eat it and I have to admit... It's very tasty, if I do say so myself. Instead of the typical ketchup topping I make a cheese sauce to top it when served.

Provided by Tina Asher

Categories     Meatloafs

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2-3 tsp creole seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 c shredded cheese of choice (optional)
CHEESE SAUCE
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients and pour into a loaf pan. Bake @ 350 for 40-50 minutes or until cooked through. Since it's turkey you don't have to worry about it getting too greasy and running over in the oven
  • 2. For cheese sauce: In a medium pot mix soup and cream. Over medium heat stir constantly to assure it doesn't scorch. Once it's heated through add cheese, again stirring constantly until completely melted. Add pepper to taste and serve over sliced meatloaf.

1/2 cup finely diced green pepper

CREOLE TURKEY RUB



CREOLE TURKEY RUB image

Number Of Ingredients 6

•25 whole bay leaves
•3 tablespoons Creole seasoning
•3 teaspoons dried thyme
•3 teaspoons dried oregano
•2 teaspoons garlic powder
•1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

  • Grind bay leaves into a fine powder. Combine Creole Seasoning and other ingredients together. Divide into 3 equal parts. Rub one third on the inside of the turkey, one third over the breasts and one third over the rest of the turkey. For best results refrigerate the rubbed turkey overnight to allow the flavors to sink in.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the turkey from sticking.
  • Brown the turkey in batches: This will help to develop flavor and create a crispy skin.
  • Don't crowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the turkey will not brown properly.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: This could be anything from chicken broth to vegetable broth or even water. Adding some herbs and spices to the liquid will also help to infuse the turkey with flavor.
  • Cook the turkey on low heat: This will help to prevent the turkey from drying out.
  • Baste the turkey regularly: This will help to keep the turkey moist and prevent it from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey: The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Turkey Creole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it can also be made with fresh turkey. This dish can be served over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. No matter how you serve it, Turkey Creole is sure to be a hit.
