Receta Turkey, Mushrooms in White Wine on Potato Patties
It’s getting closer….
I’m referring to the biggest food holiday on the U.S. calender: Turkey Day, aka Thanksgiving Day.
Some say they like T-Day best because it’s about the food and family without the hassle of presents, like Christmas.
Some say they like T-Day best because of all the leftovers.
I mean, if one is going to bother making a turkey with all the fixings, one might as well make a big one, right?
Sometimes that seems like a much better idea the day before T-Day than the day after.
Here are a few ideas for when / if you are faced with more turkey, et all, than you have inspiration for.
Turkey, Mushrooms in White Wine on Mashed Potato Patties
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- Turkey:
- 10oz (300gr) leftover turkey, cut into bite-size pieces
- 4oz (120gr) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 rib celery, roughly chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) leftover turkey gravy or chicken stock
- 1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) white wine
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in 1 tbs water, if needed
- Potato Patties:
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions:
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions, celery, mushrooms and sauté 5 minutes.
Add carrots and sauté 5 minutes longer
Add paprika, gravy or stock and white wine. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, until carrots are tender.
If sauce needs to be thicker, stir in cornstarch mixture.
Remove from heat and stir in yogurt.
Potato Patties:
Lightly whisk egg in a medium bowl.
Mash potatoes with a fork so they are not stiff.
Add mashed potatoes to egg and mix thoroughly.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dividing potato mixture into fourths, spoon into hot skillet and shape into patties with the back of the spoon. The patties should be about an inch thick (2.5 cm).
Sauté 10 minutes on each side, turning once. They should be nicely browned. Be careful turning them so they don’t break apart – if they do, just pat them back together.
To Serve: Spoon turkey and vegetables over potato patties.
