Turkey Recipes - Include Spices And Herbs To Add Flavour
By Barry J Smallhorn
Turkey recipes are delicious, especially when they include lots
of herbs and spices to add flavour to the juicy meat. The stuffing
can be rice or sausage meat with sage and onion.
There is a variety of options and your turkey recipe may include
curries, exotic spices, fruits and vegetables.
The great thing about turkey is that it can be adapted to any
kind of cuisine and there are lots of turkey recipes to use up
leftovers after the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays.
Turkey can be a bit bland and dry, so it can be improved with
spices and glazes. The important thing to remember is to cook
the bird thoroughly, right into the cavity.

Allow plenty time but don't overdo it, those juices are needed
for the flavor. Don't forget to remove the giblets! Those innards
don't have to be thrown away however; they make a delicious stock
for the gravy.
Plan ahead and think carefully about the size of bird you'll
need. It has been known for people to order a huge turkey and
then find that it won't fit into the oven!
It's not a good idea to keep re-heating poultry, so try to use
up those leftovers in one go if possible.
Add herbs to bring out the flavour
Turkey needs the flavor bringing out and herbs are ideal. Sage,
oregano or tarragon is perfect. Some people like to pep it up
with some paprika.
The Stuffing
The stuffing is probably the best thing about turkey recipes
and you can experiment and find what combination you prefer.
There is the traditional sausage meat with sage and onion or
chestnut. Fruit stuffings add a lot of moisture, with pear, cranberries
or orange. All these can be mixed with garlic and lemon.
Honey glazed turkey is very tasty and the sweetness of the honey
combines well with vegetables such as sweet potatoes or parsnip.
Curries with turkey
Turkey recipes for curries can use up leftover vegetables too.
Some cumin, chili and coriander will add some zest or you could
use a Thai curry paste.
Soup is another idea and there is no waste with this method.
The carcass can be boiled for the stock. Add some chicken stock
cubes and cook up some carrots, peas and barley with the meat.
Burgers are great for breakfast or lunch, made from ground turkey
meat with peppers, onions and tomatoes. Add some Tabasco Sauce
for a Cajun flavor. You can top them with grated cheese or caramelized
onion and serve with pineapple rings or scrambled egg.
Turkey Salad
A more healthy option is turkey salad with mixed green leaves,
celery, sun dried tomatoes, chutney and mustard.
You could accompany the salad with a homemade pizza with turkey
sausage topping. Turkey recipes can use up whatever ingredients
you have in the cupboard and you'll look forward to the next big
bird!
Turkey is often enjoyed on special occasions like Thanksgiving
and Christmas when all the family gather to meet the one time
of the year and enjoy a delicious meal.
A large turkey can feed a whole family and there would be no
need to buy more than one bird, unless there are a large number
of guests. Your guests must have come to eat your delicious cooking.
Special Occasions
Our family and friends always enjoy a delicious well cooked turkey
on these special occasions. Its the only time of the year when
grandparents, parents and children all come together to enjoy
the company and the festive occasion.
Whenever we remind the children of the coming occasion, they
always ask if turkey is going to be the main meal.
This fact alone ensures they will attend.
