Poultry Recipes


Balsamic Roasted Game Hens
4 Cornish hens
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
Anise, to taste
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 8.5-ounce bottle balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil

Remove giblets from hens, rinse and pat dry. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place hens in a large dish with marinade, cover and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

Remove hens and strain marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer until reduced to a glaze, skimming foam as necessary. Meanwhile, place hens in a medium, shallow roasting pan. Place in a 400-degree oven and roast 30 minutes. Brush hens with reserved glaze and roast 15 minutes more until glaze is set and hen juices flow clear when a paring knife is inserted between the thigh and leg. Serve on a bed of sauteed julienne root vegetables or nestle on sauteed fresh spinach scattered with toasted pine nuts or red pomegranate seeds.

Deep-Fried Turkey
2 tablespoons House seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub
3 to 5 gallons peanut oil
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Cooks Note: To measure the amount of oil needed to fry the turkey, place turkey in fryer, add water to top of turkey, remove the turkey and the water line will indicate how much oil will be needed to fry your turkey. Having too much oil can cause a fire. The pot should not be more than 3/4 full or the oil could overflow when the turkey is added.

Wash bird inside and out, and allow to drain. Rub turkey all over with House Seasoning. Coat turkey with dry rub. Allow the bird to sit until it reaches room temperature. Heat peanut oil in a turkey fryer or a very, very large stockpot to 350 degrees F. Lower turkey into hot oil, making sure it is fully submerged. Fry turkey for 3 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes per bird. Remove turkey from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with favorite Thanksgiving sides and salads. House Seasoning:Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Thanks to Tracy.

Combine basil, oregano, cinnamon, rosemary, cumin, salt, and pepper; set aside. Toss together apples, orange, celery, bay leaf, and 1/4 cup of the prepared seasoning blend. Loosely stuff the turkey cavity with the fruit mixture; place any remaining mixture under bird in the pan. Tie turkey legs together with string and tuck wings under breast. Sprinkle remaining prepared seasoning blend over entire turkey and rub into skin. Create a loose "tent" over the turkey using aluminum foil. Roast turkey in a 325 degree oven according weight: Bird Weight Approx. Cooking Time.

Baste turkey with juices in pan every 30-45 minutes; if there's no juice in the pan, melt remaining butter and use that to baste. Uncover turkey for the last hour and increase basting to every 15 minutes. Before removing turkey from the oven, make sure the thermometer has reached 185 degrees.
