Oh no, another left-over turkey recipe, but believe me, this was so good I have to post it so I will remember it for posterity. This year, we bought a 9 pound free-range turkey from my supermarket. The day after Thanksgiving (we had Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws), I simmered it so it was really nice and tender. We had turkey for lunch and dinner, and then I bagged the rest. I made curry with one bag on Saturday. Not bad. Last night I decided to make turkey barbecue. Oh, the result was so yummy, so moist, so tender, even my daughter who doesnt care for meat loved it. The secret? STEAMING the frozen meat and the sauce together. Anyway, here is the recipe if anyone is interested. Yummy BBQ sauce 1 cup tomato ketchup (I used Heinz Organic as it doesnt contain corn syrup) 2 tablespoons honey juice of half a lemon ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon mustard powder black pepper I placed my turkey breast in my glass bread-pan. Then I poured the BBQ mixture over it and steamed the whole thing for about 20 minutes. I lifted the steamers cover once or twice to gently separate the breast meat to let the steam and sauce in. When I decided everything was really heated through, I further shredded the meat. For dinner, we had the turkey BBQ wrapped in large steamed collard greens, steamed butternut squash, steamed broccoli and quinoa (with extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, chopped tomatoes and chopped scallions). Just for fun, I took a picture of my husbands portion (see below). He thoroughly enjoyed it!
My hubby grew up eating Southern food - fried chicken and all, and that he actually loves my cooking- veggies and all, makes me feel very tender towards him, LOL. |
