Turkey Breast Rollatini With Espresso Bbq Sauce Recipes

BBQ TURKEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in 1/4 cup oil until tender. Stir in the ketchup, water, syrup, vinegar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon pepper and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside 1-1/2 cups for serving., Remove giblets from turkey (discard or save for another use). Lightly oil the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together. Rub remaining oil over skin of turkey. Sprinkle salt and remaining pepper over turkey and inside cavity., Place turkey over drip pan, breast side up; grill, covered, over indirect medium heat 1 hour. Brush with some of the sauce mixture. Grill until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer, basting frequently with remaining sauce. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with reserved sauce.

CHICKEN ROLLATINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the bread in half, then cut each half crosswise into 4 strips; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sage and season with salt and pepper. Put 1 strip of bread and 1 provolone stick across the center of each chicken cutlet. Tightly roll up the chicken around the bread and cheese, then wrap each roll with a piece of pancetta and secure with a toothpick.
• Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken; cook, turning, until browned, 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth. Transfer the skillet to the oven; cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the escarole, the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the escarole is tender, 7 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet using a slotted spoon. Cook the pan juices in the skillet over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce and escarole mixture.

ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Place the dried figs and cranberries in a small saucepan and pour in the Calvados and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, crumbling it into small bits with a fork, and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Add the figs and cranberries with the liquid, the chopped rosemary, and pine nuts, and cook for 2 more minutes. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken stock, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. (The stuffing may be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan.
• Lay the butterflied turkey breast skin side down on a cutting board. Sprinkle the meat with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Spread the stuffing in a 1/2-inch-thick layer over the meat, leaving a half-inch border on all sides. Don't mound the stuffing or the turkey will be difficult to roll. (Place the leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.) Starting at 1 end, roll the turkey like a jelly roll and tuck in any stuffing that tries to escape on the sides. Tie the roast firmly with kitchen twine every 2 inches to make a compact cylinder.
• Place the stuffed turkey breast seam side down on the rack on the sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees F in the center. (I test in a few places.) Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the extra stuffing.
