Healthy ways to make turkey, stuffing and gravy

Here are more healthful versions of traditional Thanksgiving turkey dishes from various magazines:

PARMESAN-SAGE ROAST TURKEY with SAGE GRAVY

•3 cups chopped onion

•1 cup chopped celery

•1 cup chopped carrot
FIND MORE STORIES IN: Cooking | Sage | Servings

•10 garlic cloves

•Cooking spray

•1 13-pound fresh or frozen turkey, thawed

•⅓ cup (1.5 ounces) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

•5 tbsp chopped fresh sage, divided

•2 tbsp butter, softened

•1 tbsp minced garlic

•1 tsp salt, divided

•½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided

•1 lemon, halved

•2 ½ cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided

•⅓ cup chopped shallots

•1 cup sherry

•¼cup all-purpose flour (about 1 ounce)

•¼cup water

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Combine first 4 ingredients in bottom of a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Remove and discard giblets and neck from turkey. Rinse the turkey with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under turkey.

Combine cheese, ¼ cup sage, butter, minced garlic, ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; rub mixture under the loosened skin and over breast and drumsticks. Rub turkey skin with cut sides of lemon halves; squeeze juice into turkey cavity. Place lemon halves in turkey cavity; tie legs together with kitchen string.

Place turkey, breast side up, on vegetable mixture in pan. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes, and pour 2 cups broth over turkey. Tent turkey breast loosely with foil. Bake an additional 30 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 325° (do not remove turkey from oven). Bake for 1½ hours or until a thermometer inserted into meaty part of thigh registers 180°, basting every 30 minutes. Remove turkey from pan. Cover and let stand 30 minutes; discard skin.

Place a large zip-top plastic bag inside a 4-cup glass measure. Pour drippings through a sieve into bag; discard solids. Let drippings stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a medium bowl, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat. Add enough of remaining chicken broth to drippings to equal 3 cups.

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add shallots; sauté for 1 minute. Add sherry; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to ½ cup (about 5 minutes). Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon sage and cook for 30 seconds. Add reserved drippings; bring to a boil.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and water, stirring well with a whisk. Stir flour mixture into drippings mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve gravy with turkey.

Note: For a handsome garnish, roast lemon halves and peeled shallots at 425° for 20 minutes; arrange with sage sprigs on the turkey platter.

CIDER GRAVY

Make this low-fat gravy in the roasting pan while the turkey rests. Apple cider adds rich fall flavor.

Ingredients:

4 cups Turkey Giblet Stock (recipe follows) or reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

1¼ cups apple cider

2 tbsp cider vinegar

¼ tsp salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Cooking instructions:

1. When you remove the turkey from the roasting pan, leave the roasted shallots behind. Skim off any visible fat from the pan juices.

2. Whisk ½ cup Turkey Giblet Stock or chicken broth and flour in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.

3. Set the roasting pan over two burners on medium-high heat. Add cider and vinegar; bring to a boil and cook, scraping up the browned bits from the pan, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining 3½ cups stock (or broth). Increase heat to high; return to a boil, whisking often. Boil until the liquid is reduced by about half, 8 to 12 minutes.

4. Whisk the reserved flour mixture into the pan. Boil, whisking constantly, until the gravy is thickened, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the gravy through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup. (Discard the solids.) Season with salt and pepper.

Nutrition information:

Makes about 2¼ cups.

Per 3-tablespoon serving: 28 calories; no fat; 7 milligrams of cholesterol; 5 grams of carbohydrate; 1 gram of protein; 56 milligrams of sodium.

CORNBREAD and SAUSAGE STUFFING

Ingredients:

1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage (about 4 links), casings removed

2 cups finely chopped onion

1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery

1/4 tsp salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

2 pounds prepared cornbread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 12 cups)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 tbsp chopped fresh sage

1 1/2-3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Cooking instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Cook sausage in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion and celery; cover, reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add cornbread, parsley and sage.

3. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour 1 cup over the stuffing mixture and toss gently (the cornbread will break into smaller pieces). Add as much of the remaining broth as needed, 1/2 cup at a time, until the stuffing feels moist but not wet. Spoon the stuffing into the prepared pan and cover with foil.

4. Bake the stuffing until thoroughly heated, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

Do ahead: Prepare through Step 3, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Just before serving, bake at 350°F until hot, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition information:

Makes 12 servings, scant 1 cup each.

ROAST TURKEY BREAST with HOLIDAY SPICE RUB and GRAVY

Ingredients:

1 whole turkey breast on the bone (about 7 pounds)

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

2½ tbsp Holiday Spice Rub (see recipe below)

Gravy:

¾ cup white wine

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

Cooking instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350°. Coat large roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Turkey: Rinse turkey breast under cold water; pat dry. Rub on all sides with lemon juice and oil. Rub holiday spice rub mixture on turkey, including under the skin.

3. Roast directly in pan at 350° for about 2 hours, or until internal temperature registers 170° on an instant-read thermometer. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes in a warm place.

4. Gravy: Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the drippings from pan. Add wine and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle flour into pan; cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Strain gravy into a gravy boat.

5. To serve, slice turkey and accompany with the warm gravy.

Editor's Note: For a whole turkey, follow directions as in step 2. Roast at 350° following timing suggestion on package. Prepare gravy as directed.

Holiday Spice Rub:

In a small bowl combine 2 teaspoons onion salt, 1 teaspoons each dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper and dried sage, ½ teaspoon dried thyme and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.

Nutrition information:

Makes: 12 servings.

Per serving: 327 calories; 8 grams of fat; 2 grams of saturated fat; 55 grams of protein; 2 grams of carbohydrate; no fiber; 514 milligrams of sodium; 168 milligrams of cholesterol.

Why it's better?

• Turkey breast is instantly portion controlled, eliminating excess leftovers. That's perfect for small families.

• White meat instead of dark lowers fat content.

• Using olive oil and herbs on the bird instead of butter lowers saturated fat content. You also can get away with using less oil.

APPLE-SHALLOT ROASTED TURKEY

Ingredients:

1 10- to 12-pound turkey

2 tbsp canola oil

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus 3 sprigs

1 tbsp chopped fresh sage, plus 3 sprigs

1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, plus 3 sprigs

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

1½ pounds shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise, divided

1 tart green apple, quartered

3 cups water, plus more as needed

Cooking instructions:

1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 475°F.

2. Remove giblets and neck from turkey cavities and reserve for making turkey giblet stock. Place the turkey, breast-side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan; pat dry with paper towels.

3. Combine oil, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey, under the skin and onto the breast meat. Place herb sprigs, 6 shallot halves and apple in the cavity. Tuck the wing tips under the turkey. Tie the legs together with kitchen string. Add 3 cups water to the pan.

4. Roast the turkey until the skin is golden brown, 45 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oven. If using a remote digital thermometer, insert it into the deepest part of the thigh, close to the joint. Cover just the breast with a double layer of foil, cutting as necessary to fit. Scatter the remaining shallots in the pan around the turkey. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and continue roasting until the thermometer (or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone) registers 165°F, 1 to 1¾ hours more. If the pan dries out, tilt the turkey to let juices run out of the cavity into the pan and add 1 cup water.

5. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter (reserve pan juices and shallots) and tent with foil. Make Cider Gravy (recipe follows). Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes. Remove the string and carve.

Nutrition information:

Makes 12 servings, 3 ounces each, plus plenty of leftovers.

Per serving: 155 calories; 5 grams of fat; 1 gram of saturated fat; 63 milligrams of cholesterol; 0 grams carbohydrate; 25 grams of protein; 115 milligrams of sodium.

Nutrition bonus: Selenium (42% daily value).

TURKEY GIBLET STOCK

Neck and giblets from a 10- to 12-pound turkey

6 cups water

1 medium onion, peeled and quartered

1 medium carrot, chopped

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 bay leaf

1 sprig fresh thyme

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

1. Combine neck and giblets (except liver), water, onion, carrot and celery in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add bay leaf, thyme and peppercorns. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming and discarding any foam, for 1 hour.

2. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl and let cool. Discard solids.

Nutrition information:

Makes about 4 cups

After straining, the stock has few calories (about 25) and negligible nutrients except sodium (about 23 milligrams) per cup.

Gingerbread Cheesecake



Ingredients

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/4 recipe of the dough for Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies (below)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
6 gingerbread men

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan in 2 layers of foil.

2. On a generously floured piece of parchment, roll dough to a 13-by-10-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush off excess flour. Slide dough and parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake until firm and golden brown, about 14 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. Break into large pieces, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground.

3. Combine butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 cups cookie crumbs in a bowl. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and one-third of the way up sides of prepared pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool on rack.

4. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and the vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping sides of bowl as needed. Beat in molasses, salt, spices, and lemon zest. Pour filling into cooled crust.

5. Place cheesecake in a large, shallow roasting pan. Transfer to oven, and carefully add enough hot water to roasting pan to come about halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake until cheesecake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, 60 to 65 minutes. Carefully remove springform pan from roasting pan, and let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).

6. Before serving, run a hot knife around edges of cheesecake to loosen, and remove sides of pan. Arrange gingerbread cookies in center of cake in a circle (with heads facing inward and arms touching, alternating light and dark).

Serves 10

Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies

Ingredients

5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups unsulfured molasses

Directions

1. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.

2. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Divide dough into 3 portions, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a generously floured piece of parchment, roll dough to a scant 1/4 inch thick. Brush off excess flour. Slide dough and parchment onto baking sheets, and freeze for 15 minutes.

4. Cut out desired shapes. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, and freeze for 15 minutes.

5. Bake cookies for 6 minutes. Remove sheets from oven, and tap them firmly on counter to flatten cookies. Return to oven, rotating sheets, and bake until crisp but not darkened, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

6. Let cookies stand at room temperature until set, at least 2 hours (preferably overnight). Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers for up to 1 week.

Makes about 2 dozen town houses, 4 dozen deer or trees, or 6 dozen men

47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World Cookbook

The 47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World: The Recipes That Won the National Chocolate Chip Cookie Contest

Chocolate chip cookies are a true American delicacy: at the Toll House restaurant near Boston, Ruth Wakefield invented the very first "toll house" cookies with chopped-up bits of a Nestle's chocolate bar.Originally inspired by a contest to find the best cookies in the nation, The 47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World spans the kitchens of America from Muskegon, Michigan, to Costa Mesa, California--and includes delectable tidbits of cookie lore (did you know that Napoleon always carried chocolate into battle with him for quick energy?) The only thing better than this book is a box of chocolate chip cookies! Chocolate Chip and Macadamia Nuts, Bavarian Mint, Chippers Almond Chip Drops, Italian Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Chip Pizza, Sweet and Wholewheat Cookies, And More!

Normally I don't post recipes - but here's one I feel worthy of the Diner!

First a word about where I got the idea:

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

You HAVE to watch that show, if your tv set gets the food network.

For those who like cheeseburgers - here's a twist.

NOTE: Make sure you have your plate and bottom bun ready in the middle of the plate - this bad boy is messy!

Using a skillet that you have a lid for, or with a lid you can put on your grill and cover up everything:

I like to start with a little olive oil, about 3 tablespoons, and let's say 2 cloves of garlic. Hit it with 1/4 cup of minced/chopped onions and let that all get going before slapping the burger on the grill. I usually coat the burger itself with ground pepper, pinch of salt.

Ok - that's just an everyday burger for me - Now What's The Difference?

Just before you're thinking about sliding the burger off the grill:

Smother it with:
3/4 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
(I have been using monterey jack, am thinking about cheddar/mix)

Cover it all with the lid for as long as you can stand it - I wait for the cheese to just melt, about 45 seconds. On the show the let it sit for longer, but they're serving, not eating!

Pop the lid off - scrape up the cheese and burger, and aim for the bottom bun on the plate (takes a good eye, and some practice)

Top with your favorite stuff. I use the just top bun and dig in.

I helped my mom make this yesturday afternoon!!! It sounds funny, but tastes great!!!


Chocolate Cheese Fudge Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, sliced
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts, pecans, walnuts
2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Spray lightly the bottom of a 9 by 2-inch square pan with a nonstick spray.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the cheese and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and nuts.

In a large bowl sift together the sugar and cocoa. Pour the cheese mixture into the sugar and cocoa mixture and stir until completely mixed. The candy will be very stiff.

Using your hands, remove candy from bowl and press evenly and firmly into pan. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat the top of the candy with a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Place pan in refrigerator until candy is firm.

To serve candy, cut into squares.

I can tell it's almost suppertime...I'm reading through these recipes and drooling. icon_dribble Smile

Here's what I made for supper last night...and the leftovers that we're having tonight (because I made a double batch). We love this soup! (I got the recipe from www.cdkitchen.com and you can find it several other places on the 'net, as well.)

Panera Bread Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups chicken stock or bouillon
1/2 pound fresh broccoli
1 cup carrots, julienned
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar


Directions:
Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half (this is called making a roux). Add the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree. Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve.

--notes from me (BethP): We like it with more onion, more broccoli and less nutmeg. I also don't puree the whole pot of soup -- only about 1/2 to 2/3 of it, leaving some of the broccoli pieces whole in the soup. It isn't a quick soup to make, but well worth the time! I like to get a baguette to have with it, like you can get at Panera (St. Louis) Bread Co.

Yummm...

Stuffed Salmon

Ingredients:

1/4 pound of brie
A thick Fillet of King Salmon (or other salmon like fish)
1/4 pound of prawns, peeled, deveined and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces (Bubba Gump shrimp would work)
Fresh Basil
Fresh Oregano
Heavy Cream
Thinly sliced Shallots (one large shallot should be enough)
Bread crumbs
Butter
Salt
Pepper

Remove the bones and trim off the thinner portions from the thickest part of a salmon fillet.
Of course, the tail fillet is our favorite, no bones. (a good thing to remember if you are buying smoked salmon too)
Lay the fillet skin-side down (okay, here again we skin the fillet) and Make an incision in the center of the fillet cutting half way through the fillet, and leaving a bit uncut on each end. At the base of this incision slice horizontally into the fish on each side, creating an envelope of sorts. Kinda butterfly it!

Into this cavity stuff with the prawns and thin slices of brie cheese (use a little more than half of the total brie), and chopped fresh basil and oregano. lightly dust the fish with salt and pepper. (a bit of cooked rice adds to it if you wish)

In a saucepan melt some butter, and lightly caramelize the shallots under medium-low heat, then add the remaining brie and about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of heavy cream, with some more chopped basil and oregano, and a little bit of salt and pepper, be careful not to boil the cream, and whisk for a smooth consistency until the brie is melted.
Cover the salmon with about half of the sauce (pour some into the cavity as well) and cover liberally with breadcrumbs, place into a 375 degree oven until the salmon and prawns are cooked (this varies upon the thickness of the salmon, but is usually around 1/2 an hour and really, we don't use the bread crumbs).
Serve with the remaining brie-cream sauce.

Alfredo Sauce - With a load of Mozzarella

This sauce is so good. Use it with breadstix, pizza, pasta, whatever you'd like to have smothered in cheesy goodness!

1/2 cup of butter (one stick)
2 cloves of minced garlic (optional)
2 cups of heavy cream
1/4 tsp white pepper (optional)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 cup mozzarella

Melt butter, add garlic and simmer for two minutes. Add cream and white pepper, bring back to a simmer again, but just for a minute. Now you want to stay with the pan, stir often throughout the rest of the way. Add parmesan, bring back to simmer for 4 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth. Add 1/4 cup of Mozzarella, bring back to a simmer. Keep adding about 1/4 cup of Mozzarella at a time, and keep stirring until smooth.

Just found a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes!

IRISH PANCAKES

1 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. potatoes
2 lg. eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 c. butter, melted
4 tbsp. milk
Extra butter

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.

Peel 1/2 pound of potatoes and steam or boil until tender; mash fine- there should be 1 firmly packed cup. [note: I used leftover mashers]

Peel the remaining potatoes and finely shred; press out liquid-there should be 1 lightly packed cup.

Add mashed potatoes, shredded potatoes and eggs to flour mixture; mix well; stir in butter. Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft batter.

Melt a generous amount of extra butter [note: I started with 1/2 a stick, and added a tbsp for each next batch] in a large heavy skillet; add heaping tablespoons of the batter, well apart; fry over moderate heat, turning as necessary, until cooked through and browned on both sides. Keep warm in a low oven. Fry remaining batter the same way. Serve hot with butter. Makes 14.
