Thai Chicken And Turkey Sausage Recipes

THAI CURRY CHICKEN SAUSAGE SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the Asian slaw: Combine sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, salt, sesame oil, carrots and cabbage in a medium bowl. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• For the sausage: Combine coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, salt, curry powder, garlic, cayenne and white pepper in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Place chicken and fatback in another medium bowl.
• Add seasoning mixture to meat and either mix by hand or with a mixer with a paddle attachment for 45 seconds to 1 minute. (The mixture should be slightly sticky.)
• Place sausage mix into a sausage press, then add casings to tube and press out sausages.
• Link into 8-inch sausages.
• Bring a large pot filled with water to a simmer. Poach sausages until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• For the Thai curry chicken sausage sandwich: Combine mayo and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.
• Preheat a griddle or nonstick saute pan. Cut 1 sausage lengthwise down the middle and spread open. Oil griddle and place sausage on; cook until skin is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place roll on griddle to toast. Place sausage on roll and top with 1/3 cup slaw and sriracha mayo. Cut in half and serve.

FALCONETTI'S CHICKEN THAI SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Grind the chicken, preferably with a coarse grind. Add 1 cup water, the coconut milk, lime juice and sesame oil to the meat and incorporate. Then add the curry powder, basil, salt, garlic granules, white pepper, coriander and chili powder, and mix into the meat thoroughly. Mix just enough as not to break down the meat.
• Stuff into the hog casings, and remember to pin prick the links when done. You can grill, broil, saute, or bake...just make sure it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F. One way to enjoy is to place in a hot dog bun, add Asian slaw with some hoisin and sriracha (Thai hot sauce).
• Alternatively, instead of stuffing the meat mixture, you can saute it and use in such recipes as Asian-style lettuce wraps. Just add crispy noodles, chopped onion, hoisin sauce and enjoy!

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
• Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until deeply golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the bell pepper, leek, garlic, and ginger, and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.
• Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
• Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

THAI TURKEY

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix garlic, soy sauce, cilantro, honey, curry powder, sesame oil, cornstarch, crushed red pepper,and water until well blended.
• In a 10 inch skillet over high heat, warm the salad oil.
• Cook the green onions and red pepper, stirring frequently until the vegetables are tender and golden.
• Stir in liquid mixture and turkey meat and cook, stirring to coat turkey well, until heated through.
• Serve over cooked rice and garnish with more cilantro if you wish.
