Stuffed Turkey Thigh

Stuffed Turkey Thigh

Tunnel boning was one of those little tricks Geoff the master butcher taught me very early on when I worked with him. It’s really easy with a Turkey thigh. With a long sharp pointy knife just cut around the bone from one and to the other and slide the bone out. This makes an ideal cavity for home made stuffing which will keep the meat moist when you roast it. We cut two other pockets through ours to get as much stuffing in as we could.

Sue’s home made Gluten free stuffing.

Ingredients:-

2 Sausages of your choice with the skins removed
About twice the amount by volume of dry bread crumbs (Home made Gluten free bread in our case)
1 beaten Egg
2 Onion finely chopped
Dried Sage, Dill and Chilli flakes
Tomato Puree
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients.
(2) Stuff inside the Turkey thigh or form into balls and roast separately.

Clearly we didn’t eat all the thigh. It will be making a return this evening!

Turkey Parmigiana

When there are Turkey Thigh & Drummers available locally we’ll always partake and try to think of something unusual to do with them. We usually get 4 or 5 meals from one pack, which at £4.65 makes them pretty good value for us.

I cut steaks from the thick end of the thigh which Sue coated and fried.

Ingredients:-

 4 thick Turkey thigh steaks
1 Egg, whisked
Seasoned Gluten free flour ( We added Salt, pepper and Onion Salt to season)
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, crushed
½ a tube of Tomato Purée
1 tin of chopped Tomatoes
1 tsp of mixed Herbs
Italian style grated Cheese
Grated Mozzarella and Cheddar mix
Mixed Herbs to garnish 
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Dredge the Turkey steaks in the flour.
(2) Dunk in the Egg wash and the dredge in the Bread crumbs.
(3) Fry in a little Oil until golden brown on both side and set aside on kitchen paper to drain.
(5) Fry the Onion in a little oil until soft.
(6) Season with Salt and Pepper.
(7) Add the crushed Garlic.
(8) Add the tinned Tomatoes and Tomato Purée and simmer for about 10 minutes.
(9) Add a little water if the sauce seems too thick.
(10) Add the mixed herbs and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
(11) Pre heat the grill.
(12) Add 2 Turkey steak per serving to an oven proof bowl.
(13) Pour the Tomato based sauce over the crispy coated steaks.
(14) Add a good amount of Grated Mozzarella and Cheddar mix and sprinkle with the grated Italian style Cheese and mixed Herbs.
(15) Place under the grill until the Cheese has melted and the Turkey is evenly heated.

We served ours with hand cut chips, Peas and a little home made Coleslaw.
