I made lasagna tonight but the best thing I made recently was Chicken Marbella last week.
We made creampie last night.
I decided to use skewers to hold the legs over the exposed fresh:The question is what is the best way to roast what you are left with after you take the crown of a turkey off? We are sharing the Turkey with my sister who is no longer coming over, and she prefers the breast while we prefer the legs. However, if I roast it as it is there will be a lot of exposed flesh, not covered in skin, which I think will dry out. I think I should either disarticulate the hips and tie the legs over the exposed flesh, or remove the legs and cook them for Christmas day (it will be plenty of meat) and cook the hips and spine in a stew another day.
My approach is to rub the entire bird down in olive oil prior to baking, and put it in the oven breast-down. That way the juices run down into the breast, making it moist and juicy, and the oil seals the moisture in. Then I flip it over for the last few minutes to get the breast-skin golden brown.The question is what is the best way to roast what you are left with after you take the crown of a turkey off?

-------------
Place a large deep pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp butter, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sautee 6-8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and onions and mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
Add 1 minced garlic clove and sautee 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 Tbsp flour and sautee another minute stirring constantly.
Pour in 1 cups beef broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan then add 3/4 cup whipping cream and simmer another 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Stir a few Tablespoons of the sauce into 1/4 cup of sour cream to temper it so the sour cream doesn’t curdle then add it to the pan while stirring constantly.
Stir in 1 Tbsp Worcestershire, 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or season to taste and continue simmering until sauce is creamy.
Who's Judith?Judith made some excellent baked potato soup. More tonight with peel and eat shrimp. That's my idea of fast food.
Loaded Baked Potato SoupIt's an old restaurant trick to use excess baked potatoes to make potato salad. This is another same vein.
1 package (12 oz) bacon
1 onion, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
2 lb potatoes, baked, skinned, cubed
1/2 cup flour
1 quart buttermilk
1/2 tsp powdered dry mustard
2 1/2 cups cubed melting cheese (such as Velveta)
8 oz plain yogurt
S&P
1 cup cooked ham, diced
3/4 cup sliced green onions
In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove, crumble and set aside, reserving drippings.
In the same pan, sauté onion in 2 Tbsp drippings until almost tender, 5-6 minutes.
In a six quart pot bring stock to boil.
Add onions and potatoes and cook until potatoes are very tender.
Measure remaining bacon drippings and add oil to a total of 1/2 cup.
In the same skillet, add flour make a light roux.
Gradually stir in the milk.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with whisk, until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Reduce heat to low. Slowly add mustard and cheese, stirring constantly until all is melted.
Add cheese sauce to soup. Stir in ham, half of the bacon, the yogurt, and 1/2 cup of the green onions.
Cook until thoroughly heated. Adjust seasonings.
Top servings with remaining bacon and green onions.
If you do not want to bake your potatoes, peel and cube, then boil in the stock until fairly tender. Add onions and proceed as before. The actual recipe calls for milk and sour cream. I substituted yogurt and buttermilk since there is plenty of fat.
[EDIT] I had not noticed how big that image is.
