Homemade Turkey Ham Recipe

Making your own cured turkey “ham”, is not only healthier, but in our opinion much tastier. It will be much lower in sodium and be preservative free. You are going to use turkey in 3 different forms. Cubed, minced and pureed. This will give it a more “ham” like texture. Start with 2 pounds 10.5 ounces of skin off deboned turkey thigh meat Cubed Turkey 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat, cut into cubes 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/4 teaspoon/1 grams curing salt Minced/Ground Turkey (if you use pre minced make sure it’s thigh meat) 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons/40mls water For The Puree 10.5 ounces/300 grams turkey meat 4 teaspoons/20mls water 1/2 teaspoon/2mls garlic powder 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 1 large egg white 2 teaspoons/10ml liquid smoke 1/2 tablespoon/2 grams smoked paprika Trim the turkey if not trimmed already.

Baklava Recipe

A staple in most Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants and bakeries. There is no mention of it until after 1299, which is the beginning of the Ottoman Empire.

Thanksgiving Gravy aka Eat Your Veggies Gravy

A healthier and even tastier version of a classic gravy and be made for Beef, Chicken, Pork, and even Turkey. There is no need to add any extra fat. Instead of slathering your chicken or turkey with butter lightly brush with a little oil and prepare as usual. Same goes with the beef or pork. Cut up a couple of carrots, celery stalks and slice an onion. Rest your poultry or meat on top and roast. When the meat is done remove from the roasting pan and transfer to a cutting board. Loosely cover with some aluminum foil. While the meat is resting push the vegetables through a food mill/mouley or strainer. Separate the excess fat from the cooking liquids. Add the liquids and vegetables to a blender and whiz away. private chefs and event catering Palm Beach + West Palm Beach + Boca Raton + Miami Beach + Fort Lauderdale info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) www.yadachef.com south florida catering and personal chefs
