Paupiettes Of Turkey Sweetbreads And Mushrooms Food

PAUPIETTES OF TURKEY, SWEETBREADS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the vegetable oil in a heavy 2- to 3-quart saucepan or heat-proof casserole. Add half the shallots, and cook over medium heat until lightly browned. Add the paupiettes, and briefly brown them on both sides.
• Add the wine and stock to the saucepan, cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees when inserted into the center. Remove the paupiettes from the pan.
• While the paupiettes are cooking, heat the remaining butter in a skillet. Add the mushrooms and remaining shallots, and cook over high heat until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Stir in the Cognac, scrape the pan, and set aside.
• When the paupiettes have been removed from the pan, stir in the contents of the skillet. Cook briefly, until the sauce is lightly thickened. If desired, the cream can be added at this point and the sauce cooked for a few minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return the paupiettes to the pan briefly to reheat them, basting with the sauce, then serve, sprinkled with the chervil.

MUSHROOM-TURKEY STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Cut off the tops of the peppers; pull out the seeds. Drizzle the insides with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt. Arrange cut-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until softened but not collapsed, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned, about 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Add 1 more tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove to the bowl with the mushrooms and wipe out the skillet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and shallot; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the parsley and cook until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the rice and mushroom-turkey mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff the filling into the peppers, being sure to pack it in. Stand the stuffed peppers upright in the baking dish. Cover with foil, return to the oven and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Stir together the panko, Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Uncover the peppers and sprinkle evenly with the panko mixture. Return to the oven and bake until starting to brown, about 10 more minutes.
