Roast Turkey ala Boyd

jdboyd@jdboyd.net (Joshua D. Boyd) — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 17:30:03 -0500

Roast Turkey ala Boyd

Ingredients

half a cup of Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or six tablespoons
Morton's kosher salt)
2 tbsp of baking powder in a bowl.
4 cloves garlic
1/4 c chopped chives
1/4 c fresh parsley leaves
1/4 c fresh sage
2 tbsp fresh thyme
1 shallot, roughly sliced
1 stick butter, hard and chopped to 1/4-1/2 in chunks.

Instructions

This means use kitchen shears to remove the backbone by cutting
through the ribs along each side. Then flip the bird and press on the
breast to flatten it.
Keep the scraps (neck, backbone, anything trimmed) for making gravy.
I usually try to buy more turkey necks or wings to suplement, BTW.
Pat turkey dry. Generously sprinkle the salt mixture on all surfaces. The turkey should be well coated but not encrusted.
Place the turkey on a rack set in a half sheet pan and
refrigerate, uncovered, for 12 to 24 hours, or loosly covered for up to 3 days.
Food process all ingredients.
Allow to warm to room temperature.
Rub under and over skin before roasting bird.
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Spread carrots, celery, onions on bottom of roasting pan or baking sheet.
Place bird on top.
Toast until the breast is over 150 degrees F and the thighs are at
least 165 degrees F. About 75-90 minutes for a 12-14 lbs bird.
If any part of the turkey is browning more than you like, put some foil over that portion.
Remove turkey from oven, cover with aluminum foil, and wait 20 minutes.
Carve and serve.

Rice Crispy Treats

jdboyd@jdboyd.net (Joshua D. Boyd) — Wed, 27 May 2020 06:32:56 -0500

Rice Crispy Treats

Ingredients

8 cups rice crispies
20 oz marshmallows
1 stick (1/2 c) butter
1 tsp vanilla
pinch salt

Instructions

Prepare a 9"x9" pan. Butter will work, but a parchment sling coated with butter will make removal even easier.
Melt butter over low in a pan that will be large enough to eventually add the rice crispies. A wok or a large metal mixing bowl may be ideal.
Let butter cool to 140°F.
Melt marshmallows into butter. This may require placing back on heat, but try to keep temperature around 140°F. Lower temperatures help prevent the treats being tough.
Add vanilla and salt.
Add rice crispies.
Move mixture into 9"x9" pan, and allow to cool.

Add eggs and melted butter.
All lemon zest.
Adjust with milk or flour to desired consistency.

From: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/creme-caramel-flan-recipe/

Flan V2

Ingredients

Caramel:
200g sugar
a few drops of corn syrup
60ml water
a few drops lemon juice
For the custard:
8 large eggs room temperature (20 to 25 °C)
130g sugar
800ml whole milk
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean or 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300ºF (150ºC).
Lightly butter a 9-inch loaf pan. Have a baking dish with high sides to make a water bath to bake the custard in.
To make the caramel, spread the 200g of sugar in an even layer in a skillet. Pour the water over it and add a few drops of lemon juice. Cook the sugar over medium-high heat until it reaches 245°F to 250°F.
When sugar is a deep amber color, remove from heat; pour the caramel into the buttered mold. Coat evenly. Set aside to cool. It will need to be under 120°F before the custard is added.
Whisk the eggs and sugar. Add vanilla. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly.
Pour custard into the pan over the cooled caramel. Place flan in baking dish. Pour warm water into the outer dish, until it reaches over halfway up the outside flan.
Bake the uncovered flan in the oven 1 hour, 20 minutes, or until barely set.
Remove from the oven. Rest in the water bath for 30 more minutes.
Transfer the flan to a cooling rack. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled, preferably overnight.

Turkey Stock

jdboyd@jdboyd.net (Joshua D. Boyd) — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 23:47:45 -0500

Turkey Stock

Ingredients

4 pounds turkey parts (necks, backs, wings, etc)
1 large onion, quartered or eighthed
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped into 2" pieces
1 celery stalk, chopped into 2-3" pieces
4 sprigs fresh parsley
4 sprigs fresh thyme
16 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
3 quarts of water

Instructions

Roast turkey parts at 450°F for 45 minutes.
De-glaze roasting pan with 1-2C water
Place turkey parts, vegetables and herbs, de-glazing liquid and remaining 10-11C water into a stock pot (or dutch oven).
Simmer for 4 hours.
The goal is to reduce by one third to one half, but that can be hard to tell while in pot with solids.
Remove easy to grip solids.
Pour remainder through a fine mesh strainer into a new bowl.
If more than 7 cups remain, place liquid back in pot to reduce down to around 6 cups.

Notes

Turkey stock is nice for making gravy. The turkey parts can partially come from a turkey purchased for a meal, especially if you are spatch-cocking the turkey, but around Thanksgiving it is also often possible to buy some of those scrap parts separately from a bird at grocery stores. I use the scraps I get from my turkey combined with some extra scraps or wings.

1 3/4 cups sugar (14 oz) super fine sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cake flour, sifted
12 egg whites (the closer to room temperature the better)
1/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon orange extract, or extract of your choice
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Separate egg whites from yolks.
Divide sugar in half. Set aside half.
Sift remaining sugar half with the salt the cake flour.
In mixer bowl, hand whisk egg whites, water, orange extract, and cream of tartar. After 2 minutes, switch to mixer. Slowly sift the reserved sugar into eggs mixture, beating continuously at medium speed, continue mixing until medium peaks form.
Once you have achieved medium peaks, remove bowl from mixer.
Sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a large spatula fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.
Carefully spoon mixture into an un-greased tube pan. Bake for 35 minutes before checking doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall, the skewer should come out dry).
Cool upside down on cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from pan.

Notes

I use Domino brand super fine sugar. It can be bought at Walmart, online, or hopefully your local grocery store. I'm sure any brand is probably fine. Alternatively, stick sugar in food processor on high for 2 minutes, which is what Alton Brown recommends.
It occurs to me that I should just try giving powdered sugar a go for this recipe. I will update it if I ever do.

Buckwheat Scallion Crêpes

jdboyd@jdboyd.net (Joshua D. Boyd) — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 06:18:20 -0500

Buckwheat Scallion Crêpes

Ingredients

1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup AP flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
8 scallions sliced thinly.
1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients (except water) in bowl and whisk until smooth (as much as can be with scallion in it). Ideally let sit 2-24 hours, but it seems OK if you don't.
Thin batter with water, adjust for desired consistency.
Preheat pan over medium-high heat (about 350 deg). Lightly grease pan.
Pour in enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. I like to use 1/4 - 1/2 cup measure. Swirl the pan to spread batter.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side (on flipping should be golden and lift easily). The second side will probably require less time.
The attached picture shows the crêpe with hoisin pork and carrots. I'm not happy with how I made those so they aren't included in the recipe.
Also, you could use all buckwheat flour, but I thought the results were too dark when done that way.

Mushroom Ketchup

From: https://revolutionarypie.com/2013/03/14/mushroom-ketchup/

Mushroom Ketchup

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh mushrooms, cleaned and reduced to small pieces
2 tbsp kosher salt - 2 bay leaves
1 large onion, minced
zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp horseradish
1/4 tsp ground clove
1/2 tsp ground allspice
pinch of cayenne
1/2 cup cider vinegar

Instructions

Combine the mushrooms, salt, and bay leaves in a large non-metallic bowl. Mash for a few minutes with a big spoon or masher. Cover and let sit overnight. The mushroom mixture will reduce in size considerably.
Transfer the mixture to a Dutch oven and stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer the mixture for about 30 minutes, stirring often. The longer you cook it, the more concentrated the flavor will be. 1. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool, then place it in a large piece of muslin-type cloth or a double layer of cheesecloth, and squeeze the cloth over a bowl to remove as much liquid as possible. (I put a sieve under the cheesecloth, just in case.) 1. When you’re done squeezing, you should have about 2 cups of liquid — your ketchup! Store it in a glass bottle with a cork or other stopper.
