Broiled Turkey Steaks Recipes

GARLIC-CHILE GRILLED TURKEY THIGHS

Steps:

• Pull off turkey skin and freeze in a small resealable plastic bag. (You can use the skin to make cracklings for our Shredded Kale Salad with Turkey Skin Cracklings. )
• Cut out the thigh bone from each thigh and save in another resealable plastic bag in the freezer for a future stock.
• Mash garlic to a paste with 2 teaspoons salt in a mortar and pestle or mince and mash to a paste with a heavy knife.
• Whisk together the paste with the chili powder, cumin, and olive oil and spread it all over the thighs in a baking dish. Cover the dish and marinate the thighs, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high for gas); see Grilling Procedure, below.
• Oil grill rack, then grill thighs (cover only if using a gas grill), turning once or twice, until thermometer registers 170°F, 15 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Grilling Procedure:
• Charcoal Grilling Instructions: Open vents on bottom of grill. Light a large chimney starter full of charcoal (preferably hardwood).
• For Direct-Heat Instructions: When coals are lit, dump them out across bottom rack, leaving a space free of coals on one side of grill equal to the size of the food to be grilled where food can be moved in case of any flare-ups.
• When charcoal turns grayish white (start checking coals after 15 minutes), the grill will be at its hottest and will then begin to cool off. It will be at the proper medium-hot temperature when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill rack (directly over the coals) for 3 to 4 seconds.
• Gas Grill Instructions: Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then adjust heat according to recipe.

THE GREATEST GRILLED TURKEY

Steps:

• Place turkey, breast side up, on a metal grate inside a large roasting pan. Arrange pan on the prepared grill. Grill 2 to 3 hours, to an internal thigh temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Remove turkey from grill and let stand 15 minutes before carving.

BROIL A PERFECT STEAK

Steps:

• ADDITIONAL ITEMS - Cast Iron Skillet, Spatula or Tongs.
• Bring your 1 to 2 inch steaks to room temperature and use a clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
• Move oven rack 6 inches from heating element.
• Pre-heat oven and skillet by setting the oven to broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Rub steaks with olive oil, kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper. NOTE: Use any seasonings of your choice.
• Once the skillet is pre-heated, pull out the oven rack and carefully lay steaks on the skillet. NOTE: Pan is Extermely Hot and will spit and splatter.
• Close oven and sear the steaks for 3 minutes on one side, turn and sear the opposite side for 3 minutes. DO NOT USE A FORK TO TURN STEAKS!
• Once seared, set the oven to 500F and cook using this Time Chart. Turn steaks half way through the remaining cooking time.
• Rare (120-130F)1" 0-1 minute, 1 1/4" 2-3 minute, 1 3/4" 4-5 minute
• Medium (140-150F) 1" 2-3 minute, 1 1/4" 4-5 minute, 1 3/4" 6-7 minute
• Medium Well(150-160F) 1" 4-5 minute, 1 1/4" 6-7 minute, 1 3/4" 8-9 minute
• Remove steaks from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Serving on warm plates is recommended to maintain meat temperature.
• I can not stress this tip enough -- Keep the fork in the drawer until ready to eat. Never pierce the meat during cooking.

BROILED TURKEY STEAKS RECIPE

Steps:

• * Note: Turkey steaks are made by cutting across the breast, against the grain, instead of filleting it. Each steak should be about one inch thick. This cut is best made with a professional meat saw, and some friendly butchers will cut the steaks for you if you are a regular customer. Not that cutting against the grain makes an entirely different meat from the same breast cut into fingers with the grain. Preheat the broiler, and adjust the rack so it is four inches from the heat source. Melt a little butter and mix in an equal amount of pomegranate molasses, making enough for a basting sauce. Salt and pepper the turkey steaks, place them in a broiling pan, and broil for three minutes on each side. Baste the top side, and broil for another minute. Turn, baste, and broil a little longer, until the turkey is done. Don't overcook. Serve hot with rice and steamed vegetables or perhaps broiled eggplant. This recipe yields ?? servings.

GLAZED TURKEY STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl blend honey, grapefruit juice and mustard.
• Arrange steaks on foil-lined, shallow broiler pan. Brush steaks lightly with honey mixture. Broil 6 inches from heat source, 6 minutes.
• Turn, brush lightly, broil 6 minutes longer, just until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a fork.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining honey mixture over low heat in medium saucepan.
• Stir grapefruit sections just before serving; heat 1 minute. Spoon sauce over steaks.

BROILED TURKEY

Steps:

• Only very young, fresh-killed turkeys weighing from 3 1/2 to 5 pounds broil successfully. Split the turkey and remove the breastbone and backbone. Rub well with oil, salt, pepper and paprika. A clove or two of garlic, finely chopped, may be rubbed into the skin and along the bone of the bird. This gives the turkey a delicious flavor.
• Adjust the broiling pan about 4 to 5 inches from the heat and boil the turkey, bone side to the heat, for approximately 25 minutes, basting occasionally with a little melted butter. Turn at the end of 25 minutes, brush with butter or olive oil, and broil until nicely browned and cooked through, about 18 to 25 minutes more. Be careful not to overcook, or the white meat will be dry and uninteresting.
• Serve the broiled turkey with matchstick potatoes and a good salad. Drink a Beaujolais such as Juliénas.
• Variation: Marinate the turkey in one cup white wine, 1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, 1/4 cup olive oil and one tablespoon Tabasco. Turn the turkey several times during the marinating period. Broil as directed and baste with marinating liquid. Serve with fried rice and tiny cooked green beans with crisp, crumbled bacon and onion.
