Bag-cooked turkey with rosemary-wine gravy
Fresh or frozen whole turkey, any size, but not to exceed 22.5
pounds (to fit in oven cooking bag)
Rosemary-Wine Sauce for 12-pound turkey:
(Double ingredients for sauce if turkey exceeds 12 pounds.)
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 to 5 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 oven cooking bag, turkey size
All-purpose flour
Water
Salt and black pepper
Thaw the turkey if frozen and clean inside and out. Preheat the
oven to 325 degrees.
Rosemary-Wine Sauce: Combine all ingredients for the sauce, except
the rosemary sprigs, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil,
reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the cooking bag and shake to coat.
(This keeps the bag from bursting during cooking.)
Place the cooking bag in a roasting pan at least 2 inches deep.
Put the turkey in the bag. Spoon some of the Rosemary-Wine Sauce
into the cavity and pour the remaining over the turkey. Place the
rosemary sprigs in the cavity and on top of the turkey. Close the
bag and tie securely with the twisty provided with the cooking bag.
Cut 6 half-inch slits in the top of the bag to allow the steam to
escape. Place the turkey in the preheated 325-degree oven. The cooking
time will vary depending on the size of the turkey, so check the
chart provided with the cooking bag. Divide the estimated cooking
time by half, and for the first half, cook at 325 degrees, and for
the second half cook at 350 degrees. Cover the top of the bagged
turkey with aluminum foil during the second half of cook to avoid
overbrowning the turkey. The turkey is done when the temperature
in the thickest part of the inner thigh reaches 180 degrees and
the juices run clear (not pink) when the thigh is pierced.
Remove the entire assembly from the oven. Drain the juices from
the bag into fat separator. Place the bagged turkey in a warm oven
(140 to 165 degrees) for up to 1 hour while making the gravy.
To make the Rosemary-Wine Gravy: Measure the separated fat, pour
it into a heavy saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Measure
an equal amount of flour and water and whisk to combine. Raise the
heat to medium and pour the flour and water mixture slowly into
the fat, whisking constantly. When well-mixed, slowly pour the de-fatted
broth into the pan, whisking constantly. Approximately twice the
broth as fat will be necessary. Taste and add more broth if needed.
Bring the gravy to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low and
simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt
and pepper, to taste.
When ready to serve, carve the turkey and serve with the Rosemary-Wine
Gravy.
Eileen's sausage dressing
1 loaf English muffin bread or other dense bread (dry, day-old
bread is best)
1 16-ounce package hot sausage
1 16-ounce package regular sausage
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 pound button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 1/2 to 3 14-ounce cans chicken broth
Brown the sausage (both packages) in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the sausage, along with the drippings, in large mixing bowl.
Stir in the onion, celery and mushrooms. Place the dressing in 13-by-9-by-2-inch
baking dish. Pour as much chicken broth as needed over the mixture
until the bread is moist. (The exact amount varies with type bread
and moisture content. Add less chicken broth for fresh bread, and
more for dry bread.) Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and
bake the dressing in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour, or until most
of the liquid has been absorbed. To brown the dressing, remove the
foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking. Serves 12.
Streusel-topped sweet potato Casserole
3 pounds fresh sweet potatoes,
or 3 16-ounce cans sweet potatoes
1/2 cup maple syrup
Grated orange zest from 1 medium orange
Streusel Topping:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup chopped pecans
If using fresh sweet potatoes, peel and cut them into 1-inch dice.
Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water over medium-high heat
for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender. If using canned, drain well
before using. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash with a
potato masher. Stir in the maple syrup and orange zest. Spoon the
mashed sweet potatoes into an 8- or 9-inch baking dish sprayed with
cooking oil spray.
Streusel Topping: Combine the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture looks
like crumbs. Add the pecans and sprinkle the topping evenly over
sweet potato mixture. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for 40
to 45 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the topping
is lightly browned. Serves 10 to 12.
