- added diced carrots
- used peach brandy for the flambe step--some parts of the turkey did have a bit of the peach flavor, but was otherwise ok. Weirdly, it didn't flame very much, even though we tried twice (a letdown)
- used a generous amount of parsley--we cooked the mushrooms with parsley
We served it with rice. I may have gone a little overboard with the salting of the turkey, but our joint effort was otherwise a success! Here's a pic from my Blackberry camera.
Future projects:
We have a lot of parsley, some of the mushrooms, and some of the bacon left over and I'm still in a French mood, so I'm thinking of making savory crepes. It depends on how much time I have on Sunday.
We also have a lot of the turkey blood left over, so any suggestions you have would be welcome. After looking at a site with blood recipes, I'm considering:
There's something about chopped-up vegetables that seems very pleasant. |

- blood pancakes,
- blood bread,
- sanguinnacio dulce, and
- cabidela
I'm too lazy to get sausage casings, so no blood sausages.
Still thinking thinking!
I'm interested in knowing how you tried to flambé a thing. I mean, I have a general idea. But maybe you have some idea of what went wrong?
ReplyDeleteWe poured brandy over the turkey, and then lit a match. We got some flame, but it was less than an inch high and it died out pretty fast. We're wondering if it's because the turkey slices were too big/thick.
