Asian Spiced Fried Turkey With Sweet Potato Fries And Cranberry Syrup Food

TURKEY AND SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the Hash: Mash 1 cup of the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Then stir in the turkey, chicken broth, cilantro, chipotles in adobo, garlic, egg white, 1/4 cup of the cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup chopped sweet potatoes, 2 teaspoons of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1/2 teaspoon of the coriander in an ovenproof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and spread it evenly in the skillet, pressing lightly to form a solid cake. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the bottom is set, about 3 minutes.
• Put a large plate over the skillet and invert so the hash falls onto the plate. Return the skillet to the heat and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter with the remaining 12 teaspoon coriander. Slide the hash back into the skillet cooked side up (if it breaks apart, simply reshape it into a solid cake). Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, for 2 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the hash until firm, about 10 minutes. Carefully invert or slide the hash onto a serving plate and scatter the remaining 14 cup cheese, the cilantro leaves, and the scallion over the top.
• Serve with Chipotle Cranberry Sauce (See Below) if using.
• For Cranberry Sauce: Whisk together the cranberry sauce, chiles, lime juice and lime zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

ASIAN SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH CUCUMBERS, DATES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Begin by peeling and dicing sweet potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce heat and cook until just tender but still have a little bite. Drain and place in a bowl to cool.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Once potatoes are cool toss with dressing and set aside on salad platter.
• Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and dress with lemon juice, olive oil, to taste, a splash of soy sauce, and a little salt and pepper. Toss well and place on top of the sweet potatoes to serve as a complete salad.

ASIAN STREET FRIES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in 3/8-inch slices. Then stack cut pieces of potatoes and cut them into 3/8-inch square pieces. Submerge the potatoes in a large bowl of water and let sit for 30 minutes. This will help leach the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
• While potatoes are soaking, prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive pan and heat over medium-high. Adjust heat to a simmer and reduce by half.
• Heat a heavy stock pot with the oil to 325 degrees F over medium heat. (Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature.) Remove potatoes from the water and pat dry. Carefully add 2 handfuls of potatoes to the hot oil. There should be at least 1-inch of oil above the potatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are light brown. Remove potatoes, with a slotted spoon, shake off excess oil and place on a rack to cool. Repeat until all of the potatoes are par-cooked.
• After all the potatoes have been par-cooked, heat oil up to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Add 2 handfuls of par-cooked potatoes, and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil, with a slotted spoon, shake off excess oil. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this method until all potatoes are fried.
• To serve: Drizzle sauce over hot fries and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

SPICY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Pour 1/4 cup soy sauce mixture into the cavity and another 1/4 cup over turkey; set remaining sauce aside. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with remaining sauce. When turkey begins to brown, cover lightly with foil.
