Turkey Scallopine with Sweet Potato Fries

I like turkey and sweet potatoes. This recipe is a great twist to turkey.

Yield

1 Serving

Ingredients

Turkey
6 ounces turkey breast tenderloin
3 whole sage leaves
1/4 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup flour (seasoned with salt & pepper)
Vegetables
3 cups fresh baby spinach
1 Tbsp. minced shallots
1 minced garlic clove
Au Jus
1/4 cup chicken or turkey stock
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
2 Tbsp. minced shallots
2 tsp. unsalted butter
Fries
4 ounces prepared Sweet Potato Fries

Method:

Turkey – place a layer of plastic on a cutting board.  On top of the plastic place the turkey breast topped with the fresh herbs, salt and pepper.  Cover with another sheet of plastic wrap.  Pound gently to flatten the turkey breast and incorporate the herbs into the turkey.  Heat a sauté pan to medium-high; add olive oil.  Dredge turkey in flour, shaking off excess.  Sauté on both sides until just cooked through.  Set aside and keep warm

In a separate pan, sauté shallots and garlic for 2 minutes.  Add spinach and sauté for an additional minute.  Place this mixture in the center of a serving plate and keep warm.

In the pan the turkey was cooked in add in the shallots to sweat them.  Add in herbs and stock; reduce by half.  Add in maple syrup and butter; heat to a boil and then shut the heat off.

While the au jus is reducing, prepare the Sweet Potato Fries according to package directions.  Place them across the spinach mixture.

Place the turkey breast on the side of the Sweet Potato fries, drizzle with au jus and serve.

Sweet Things® Sweet Potato Puffs (#L0094) tossed in Moroccan Spice Blend

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and open flame grill to medium high.

For spice blend, combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir well.  Set aside.

For meatballs, combine all ingredients and 2 tablespoons reserved Moroccan spice blend in a large mixing bowl and combine using your hands until incorporated.  Chill mixture for 30 minutes and portion using #20 scoop onto parchment-lined half sheet pan.  Once portioned, roll each between hands to form round ball shape.  Bake uncovered for 20 – 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

For harissa glaze, in small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine all glaze ingredients and let simmer until glaze consistency, about 5 minutes.  Strain glaze to remove garlic pieces.  Divide glaze in half, toss meatballs with half and reserve remaining for basting.  Skewer 3 meatballs on each skewer.

Grill each meatball skewer for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until grill marked and baste with remaining glaze.  Serve alongside prepared Sweet Things® Sweet Potato Puffs.

Chef Yan Martin’s Three Alarm Firecracker Chicken from Viking River Cruises

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Lucky me, I have cooked with Chef Yan Martin (Yan Can Cook) in the San Francisco Bay area. What fun he is. Yan conducts small classes and the time goes fast. This is typical of his spicy wok recipes. It is a great one for a casual company meal. It seems like many steps, but is quick and easy to prepare. Of course, Yan is the fastest chef with a knife that I have ever experienced. This is one of the recipes that Yan created for Viking River Cruises.

Three Alarm Chicken

With fresh jalapeño chili, dried red chilies and chili garlic sauce — this dish is hot and spicy! In China the dried chilies are typically eaten, but unless you like very hot food, you will probably want to remove them before serving.

Marinade:
Two teaspoons soy sauce
One teaspoon dark soy sauce
One teaspoon cornstarch
One pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce:
One-third cup ketchup
One-quarter cup chicken broth
One tablespoon chili garlic sauce
One teaspoon sugar
One tablespoon vegetable oil
One fresh jalapeño chili, cut into thin strips
Eight small dried red chilies
One red bell pepper, julienned
One-half medium onion, thinly sliced

Directions:
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Rinse chicken and pat dry then cut crosswise into half-inch wide strips. Place in marinade, and stir to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl; mix well. Place a stir-fry pan over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides. Add fresh and dried chilies; cook, stirring, until dried chilies begin to brown, about 15 seconds. Add chicken, bell pepper and onion; stir-fry until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in center, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add sauce and bring to a boil. Stir to evenly coat chicken and serve.

Makes 4 servings. Recipe by: Martin Yan
