Turkey Mousse Recipes

TURKEY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Grease well and chill a mold or small casserole dish.
• Cut the turkey breast into 1 inch cubes and put them in a food processor or blender. Process until the turkey is the texture of fine hamburger. While continuing to process, slowly add the egg whites, then the cream. Season with salt (generously), pepper, nutmeg and brandy. The mousse should be smooth-textured.
• Spoon the mixture into the mold or dish and place the dish in a pan containing 1 inch of boiling water. Cover the mousse dish with aluminum foil and cook in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 minutes. If the mousse is firm to the touch, it is done. If not, remove the foil and cook several minutes more.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whip 1 cup of the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl (see Cook's Note). Set aside.
• Add the egg, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt and 1 tablespoon water to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has almost doubled in volume, about 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, if necessary. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes.
• Put the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set over the saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and gently stir for about 3 minutes to cool slightly.
• Whisk the egg mixture into the melted chocolate in 3 additions until combined. (The mixture may get very thick.) Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions until it is fully incorporated. It is important that the chocolate mixture is not warm to ensure that it combines smoothly with the whipped cream without seizing up.
• Divide the chocolate mousse among four 4-ounce ramekins and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Whip the remaining 3/4 cup cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Top each chocolate mousse with whipped cream and serve. (For a softer texture, allow the ramekins to sit at room temperature while you whip the cream.)
