Turkey Liver Toasts Recipes

TURKEY LIVER PATE (FOIS GRAS)

Steps:

• Place stock in a heavy pan; add salt and bring to a boil. Gently add liver with a spoon and return to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until liver is completely opaque in color, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove liver from the pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Put liver into a food mixer. Add cream, a little at a time, and process until smooth. Season with pepper. Chill before serving, if desired.

TURKEY LIVER TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a very large skillet or 2 smaller ones. Sprinkle the prepared livers with salt and freshly ground pepper. When the fat begins to smoke, add the livers (being careful of splattering) and cook in one layer for approximately one to one-and-a-half minutes on each side, stirring in the chopped garlic and herbs at the last moment.
• Remove immediately from the heat and transfer the livers to a plate. Arrange the toasts on a large platter. Cut each turkey liver half into three or four pieces (or each chicken liver half into two pieces). The livers should be pink inside. Serve immediately on toast.

CHICKEN LIVER AND SAGE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Line plate with paper towels. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sage; sauté until crisp, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer sauteed sage to paper towels. Add onion to same skillet; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chopped liver, and 1 teaspoon chopped sage. Stir until liver is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high, add Madeira, and cook until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Divide liver mixture among baguette slices. Top with sautéed sage. Serve crostini on bed of fresh sage leaves, if desired.

TURKEY GIBLET PATE

Steps:

• Remove any meat from the neck. Use a meat grinder to grind the neck meat and the rest of the giblets, or chop them very finely with a sharp knife. Set aside.
• Place the oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat and cook the onion and celery, stirring, until soft. Add the minced meat and continue to cook until the meat is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the heat. Immediately make a well in the center of the pan and add the egg, stirring it quickly into the mixture. Add the mayonnaise to the pan and mix thoroughly. Stir in the salt, pepper and Tabasco, garnish with parsley and serve with toast points.
