Smoked Turkey And Apple Salad With Cheddar And Pecans

American · 20 min · turkey · high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

14 oz smoked deli turkey, thick cut
2, sliced thin crisp apples
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar, cubed

Cut the turkey into thick batons rather than shreds so it stands up in the salad.
Toss the lettuce with about half the dressing until every leaf is barely coated.
Pile on the turkey, apple, cheddar, cranberries and pecans, then drizzle the rest of the dressing over the top.
Serve with thick slices of bread toasted until the edges are crisp.

Smoked Turkey Hoagies With Provolone And Herb Mayo

American · 20 min · turkey · dairy-free, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

1 1/4 lb smoked deli turkey, sliced thin
8 oz provolone
4 hoagie rolls
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh dill and parsley, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tomato, sliced
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup banana pepper rings
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano

Stir the mayonnaise with the chopped herbs, lemon juice and grated garlic until pale green and fragrant.
Split the rolls almost through, leaving a hinge, and pull out a little of the soft interior so the fillings sit level.
Spread herb mayo on both cut faces, edge to edge, which also keeps the bread from going soggy.
Shingle the provolone along the bottom, then pile the turkey in loose folds rather than flat stacks so the sandwich stays tender to bite.
Toss the lettuce, onion and banana peppers with the oil, vinegar and oregano until glossy, then heap the mixture over the turkey and add the tomato.
Close the rolls, press firmly for ten seconds, and cut each in half on a diagonal.

Smoked Turkey Legs, Fairground Style

Bbq · 1755 min · turkey · gluten-free, keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

4 turkey legs
3/4 cup kosher salt
2 tsp pink curing salt #1
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tbsp black peppercorns
4 bay leaves
6 cloves garlic
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp celery salt
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil with the kosher salt, curing salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, bay leaves and smashed garlic, stir until dissolved, then add 2 quarts of ice to drop it below 40°F.
Submerge the legs, weight them under a plate and cure in the fridge for 24 hours — the curing salt is what gives the ham-pink color and the fairground flavor, and without it these are just smoked turkey.
Rinse the legs thoroughly, pat dry and rest uncovered on a rack for 1 hour so the skin dries.
Rub with the onion powder, paprika and celery salt.
Smoke at 275°F over hickory for about 3 hours 30 minutes, to 175°F at the thickest part of the drum.
Melt the butter with the Worcestershire and brush the legs twice during the last 30 minutes.
Rest 15 minutes before serving; they hold a lot of heat and will burn a mouth straight off the smoker.

Smoked Turkey Wings with Cajun Butter

Bbq · 165 min · turkey · gluten-free, keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

6 turkey wings
8 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp Cajun seasoning
5 cloves garlic
1 lemon
2 tbsp hot sauce
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp coarse black pepper
2 ribs celery
1 yellow onion
1.5 cups chicken stock
3 scallions

Separate each wing at the joint into a drumette and a flat, and keep the tips for stock.
Melt the butter with the minced garlic, 2 tbsp of the Cajun seasoning, the hot sauce and the juice of half the lemon, then cool it to lukewarm.
Slide a finger under the skin to loosen it and work half the butter underneath, then season the outside with the remaining seasoning, salt and pepper.
Smoke at 275°F over pecan for 90 minutes, until the skin is bronzed and taut.
Move the wings into a foil pan on a bed of sliced onion and celery, pour in the stock and cover tightly.
Cook 60-75 minutes more until the meat pulls back from the bone and reads 185-190°F — turkey wings are all connective tissue and need the extra time.
Brush with the remaining butter, uncover for the last 10 minutes to firm the skin, and finish with the scallions and a squeeze of lemon.

2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp molasses
3 tbsp dark brown sugar

Smothered Chicken Thighs Over Rice

American · 45 min · chicken · high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 cups long-grain white rice
2 large yellow onions
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Start the rice: rinse it until the water runs clear, then simmer with 3 1/2 cups water and a teaspoon of salt, covered, for 18 minutes. Kill the heat and leave the lid on.
Pat the thighs completely dry and season hard on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Dry meat is the whole trick for browning.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Lay the thighs in without crowding and leave them alone for 5 minutes, until the underside is mahogany and the meat releases from the pan on its own. Flip, give it 3 more minutes, then move them to a plate.
Drop 2 tablespoons of butter into the same skillet and add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook over medium 10 to 12 minutes, scraping the browned bits off the bottom as the onions release moisture, until they are limp and deeply golden. Stir in the garlic for the last minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir constantly for 90 seconds so it toasts and loses its raw smell. Pour in the broth a little at a time, whisking each addition smooth before adding more, then stir in the cream.
Return the thighs and any juices to the pan, nestling them down into the gravy. Simmer uncovered on low for 12 to 15 minutes, until the gravy thickly coats a spoon and the chicken reads 175F at the center.
Fluff the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and a fork. Spoon it into wide bowls, lay the chicken on top, and ladle plenty of onion gravy over everything.
Finish with the parsley and a fresh grind of black pepper.

3 tbsp unsalted butter

Snow Crab Legs with Old Bay Butter

American · 30 min · shrimp · pescatarian, keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

6 lb snow crab leg clusters
6 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves
3 lemons
2 fennel bulbs
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Shave the fennel bulbs paper-thin and toss with the olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, half the parsley, and a pinch of salt; chill — this bright salad is the health-lean counterweight to the butter.
Halve the remaining 2 lemons and char them cut-side down in a dry hot skillet 3 to 4 minutes until deeply caramelized. Charred lemon juice is sweeter, smokier, and the signature of this butter.
Melt the butter with the minced garlic over low heat 2 minutes, then stir in the Old Bay, smoked paprika, and the juice of 2 charred lemon halves. Keep warm.
Set the crab clusters in a large steamer (or a pot with 1 inch of boiling water and a rack), cover, and steam 6 to 8 minutes until heated through and fragrant — the crab is already cooked, so you're only warming it, and overdoing it toughens the meat.
Pile the crab on a platter, pour half the charred-lemon Old Bay butter into dipping bowls, and brush the rest right over the shells.
Scatter with the remaining parsley and serve with the fennel salad, the remaining charred lemon halves for squeezing, crackers, and a roll of paper towels — this is hands-on eating.

Soft Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon And Chive Cream Cheese

American · 20 min · fish · pescatarian, gluten-free, keto, low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓

12 eggs
12 oz, sliced cold-smoked salmon
8 oz, softened cream cheese
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2, sliced avocado
1/4 cup, chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp, drained capers
1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
1, cut in wedges lemon
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Beat the cream cheese with the chives and a grind of pepper until it is spreadable, and set it out so it does not seize on the hot eggs.
Whisk the eggs with the salt until they are completely uniform in color, with no streaks of white left.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat, pour in the eggs, and stir slowly and constantly with a rubber spatula for 5 to 6 minutes, pulling curds in from the edges. Take the pan off the heat while they still look slightly wet, because they finish cooking on the plate.
Spoon the eggs onto plates and drape the smoked salmon over them so it warms without cooking.
Add a spoonful of the chive cream cheese, the avocado, tomatoes and capers, and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top.

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 leaves butter lettuce

Drain on a rack and salt lightly while hot.
Toast the buns in the butter, spread both cut sides with lemon mayonnaise and build with lettuce, tomato and a crab, legs hanging out over the edges.

Add the celery, garlic, chopped sage, thyme, and crushed fennel seed — our sage-fennel seasoning, which reads faintly like breakfast sausage without any sausage — and cook 5 minutes more.
Scrape the vegetables and every bit of the herb butter over the bread. Whisk the eggs into the broth, pour it over, add the parsley and a few grinds of pepper, and fold until the bread is evenly moistened.
Pile into a buttered 9x13 baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes at 375F.

2 quarts (about 1/2 cup absorbed) vegetable oil for frying
1 1/2 cups stone-ground grits

Spanakopita with Homemade Phyllo Shortcut

Greek · 215 min · vegetarian, low-carb

Ingredients & steps ↓

1 lb box frozen phyllo dough
2 lb frozen chopped spinach
12 oz feta cheese
4 eggs
12 tbsp unsalted butter
1 bunch scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1 lemon
1 tsp dried Greek oregano
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

The shortcut is store phyllo handled right, not homemade dough: leave the phyllo in its sealed sleeve on the counter 2 hours to thaw completely. Do not open it early and do not rush it in the microwave — cold or partially frozen sheets crack.
Meanwhile, thaw the spinach and squeeze it absolutely dry in a clean kitchen towel, working in handfuls. You should get about 3/4 cup of liquid out — wet spinach is soggy spanakopita.
Melt the butter. In a big bowl, mix the spinach, crumbled feta, eggs, sliced scallions, dill, the zest of the lemon, oregano, nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Go easy on added salt — the feta carries it.
Heat the oven to 375F. Open the phyllo, unroll it, and immediately cover the stack with a barely damp towel. Take one sheet at a time and re-cover the stack every time.
Layer 8 sheets in a buttered 9x13 pan, brushing every sheet with melted butter and letting edges climb the sides.
Spread the filling evenly, then layer the remaining 8 or so sheets on top, buttering each one. Tuck the edges in and brush the top generously.
Score the top layers into 12 squares with a sharp knife — cutting after baking shatters the crust.
Bake 40-45 minutes until deep golden and crisp through the scored lines. Rest 15 minutes before cutting so the filling sets.
