Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Stir the shallot, garlic, white pepper, and vermouth together in a small bowl; set aside. Cut the rind off the top of the brie cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch lip around the edge. Place the brie cheese onto a baking sheet, and spoon the shallot mixture over top. Fold the phyllo sheets in half to make square pieces. Wrap the brie with the phyllo squares, tucking the edges underneath of the brie cheese. Trim the corners if needed to avoid tucking too much pastry underneath. You want complete enclosure, but without too much overlap. Brush the top with melted butter to make the pastry brown in the oven.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo has turned golden brown and the brie cheese is very soft, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

  1. 1 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in shiitake mushroom, shallot, salt, sage, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in turkey and vermouth; stir until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.

  3. 3 Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in an omelet pan over medium heat until hot. Pour beaten eggs into the pan. Use a spatula to gently stir eggs just until they begin to set, 1 to 2 minutes; shake the pan to cover the bottom completely with egg. Smooth the top of partially set eggs with the spatula; cook until the bottom is firm and the top is still slightly soft, then turn off heat.
  4. 4 Spoon turkey mixture into the center of omelet, filling about the middle 1/3 of the omelet; dot with small dollops of crème fraiche. Do not overfill omelet. With the spatula, fold the upper 1/3 of the omelet over filling. Gently tip the skillet and shake omelet towards the edge of the skillet. With the spatula, fold omelet over one more time, forming a loose cigar shape. Gently tip omelet onto a serving plate.

Roast Turkeys With Rich Pan Gravy

Roast Turkeys With Rich Pan Gravy

Prep

Instructions

  1. 1 The night before roasting, dissolve salt and sugar in 3 gallons of cold water in a large, clean ice chest or similar container in a cold spot, such as an unheated basement or garage. For those in warm climates, add ice packs to keep turkeys cool. Add turkeys, breast-side down; cover and let stand about 12 hours. (This brining keeps the turkey from drying out and seasons it right down to the bone.) Drain. Rinse turkeys and pat dry.
  2. 2 About five hours before serving, set oven to 425 degrees and adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Place turkey No. 1 breast-side down and cut out the back with kitchen shears. Open up turkey and turn it breast-side up, pressing on it with your palms so it lies flat. Place turkey, skin-side up, on a lipped cookie sheet over a bed of half the chopped vegetables. Brush turkey with butter.
  3. 3 Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 175 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Watch vegetables and pan drippings throughout - they should be kept dry enough to brown and produce the rich brown goo with which to brush Turkey No. 2 and make a rich gravy, but moist enough to keep from burning. So add water as needed throughout the cooking.
  4. 4 Remove pan from oven and transfer turkey to a cutting board; reserve vegetables and pan juices for Turkey No. 2. Let the bird rest 30 minutes to 1 hour before carving, to allow the meat to firm up. Carve, transferring slices to an ovenproof serving platter or baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate or set in a cool spot (below 40 degrees) until mealtime. Gently rewarm, covered, on platter or baking pan.
  5. 5 Immediately after removing the first turkey, lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and adjust oven rack to lowest position. Scrape vegetables and pan drippings from Turkey No. 1 into a roasting pan. Set a V-rack in the pan. Place remaining raw vegetables in the cavity of Turkey No. 2, then tie legs together with kitchen string for a nicer presentation. Set turkey, breast-side down, on rack. Brush with pan drippings from Turkey No. 1.
  6. 6 Roast 1 hour. Remove from oven; baste back and sides with pan drippings. Using two wads of paper towels, carefully turn breast-side up and baste. Keep roasting until a thermometer inserted into the leg registers 175 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer. Again, watch vegetables and drippings throughout and add water as needed. Transfer turkey to a platter for display (and then for seconds and leftovers).
  7. 7 For gravy: Set roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add wine and, using a wooden spoon, stir to loosen brown bits. Strain contents of pan through a large strainer into a saucepan. Add broth and bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch with 1/2 cup water (or 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup water), then gradually whisk into pan juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened. Serve immediately.
