Dubliner
Turkey Breast
- 1 package Honeysuckle White® Breast
Tenderloins
1/2 pound bacon (unsliced if possible)
1 pound leeks, trimmed
Vegetable oil, as needed
- Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup turkey or chicken broth
1 cup light cream (half-and-half)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
- Flat leaf parsley for garnish
- Preheat oven to 350°F
(175°C).
- Cut the white parts of
the leeks into rounds and wash well. Cut the rind off the bacon
and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. (If using sliced bacon, buy stacked
instead of fanned out.) Put bacon into a casserole with a small
amount of oil, and bake in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until
golden. Add the sliced leeks to the casserole and toss together
in the bacon fat.
- Season turkey with salt
and pepper. Rub turkey with the butter and add to the casserole.
Season with pepper and cover the casserole.
- Put into the oven for
1 hour, until turkey is fully cooked. When done, remove to a
serving dish, and lift out the leeks and bacon with a slotted
spoon.
- Skim the fat off of the
remaining juices in the casserole.
- Add the broth and cream
and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch in a small bowl with
a cold water to make a smooth paste, and add to the boiling mixture.
Stir to thicken. Simmer on low heat while you slice the turkey.
- Drizzle the sauce over
the leeks and bacon, and over the turkey if desired.
- Garnish with flat leaf
parsley.
Makes 5 servings.
