Creamed Turkey Pastrami On Toast Dairy Free Recipes

CREAMED TURKEY ON TOAST

Steps:

• The stock needs to reduce down from one quart to three cups so place on stove and simmer until reduced.
• If you have part of a turkey leftover and are using the meat from that for this recipe, place the whole carcass in with the stock. It will help soften the meat so you can remove it from the bone. This step is only an option if you don't already have the two pounds of cooked turkey or chicken and are picking meat from a turkey or chicken.
• Once the stock has reduced, add milk and cream and heat just until hot. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium and add onions. Cook until translucent and no longer crunchy.
• Add flour and cook for three minutes.
• Add stock and cream mixture one third at a time to the skillet, stirring each time with a wire whip.
• Once all of the liquid is in, add salt, nutmeg, mustard, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and curry powder.
• Cook over low heat for a few minutes and add cooked turkey or chicken shredding as you add.
• Bring up to hot but be careful not to scorch.
• Add frozen peas, stir and hold over low heat while you slice and toast the bread.
• Slice bread into thick slices and lightly toast.
• To serve, place single slices of toast on dinner plates and top with a generous portion of the creamed chicken.
• Great served with steamed carrots.

MAMAW'S CREAMED TURKEY OVER TOAST

Steps:

• In a large no-stick skillet, begin heating the milk, margarine and chicken stock over medium heat.
• Whisk in the flour right away, eliminating all lumps, and as it comes to a boil, it should thicken.
• Add the salt and pepper. (Black pepper is okay as a substitute).
• As it thickens, toss in the chopped turkey and stir carefully as to not break up the chunks too much.
• If it gets too thick, just add some milk and stir.
• As soon as the mix is thick enough to your liking, it is done. Turn off the heat and cover until serving.
• Serve over slices of toast or, make up some of your favorite biscuits instead.
• If you have some left-over turkey broth from the day before when the turkey was baked, use that instead of chicken stock.
• Note: the more dark meat, the better. It really adds to the flavor of this dish.

CREAMED TURKEY PASTRAMI ON TOAST (DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Slice pastrami as thinly as possible and then cut slices lengthwise and crosswise so that they are thin/flat, bite-sized pieces (1 1/2 inches long by 1/2 inch wide).
• Melt margarine in saucepan or frying pan and fry the slices of turkey pastrami until browned on edges. (Medium-high heat worked well for me, ant took just over 10 minutes).
• Sprinkle flour over the turkey pastrami and stir until flour is browned. (This took less than a minute for me.).
• Stirring constantly, add soy milk and, if using, the cream cheese substitute. (I used this because I wasn't sure how well soy milk would thicken). Bring to a boil.
• After boiling, stir again and cook until thickening begins. Remove pan from heat and let stand for a minute or so. This thickened to a perfect consistency for me.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread, 2 to 3 slices is a serving size for me.
• Serve hot over toast. If there's any leftover sauce on your plate, sop it up with more toast, it tastes so good!
• NOTE: After this recipe was approved, I noticed that Zaar didn't include the nutrition info for the unsweetened soy milk. As a courtesy, I thought I'd put it up. On the carton of soymilk I used for this recipe: Unsweetened Silk Soymilk Organic, serving size 1 cup, 80 calories, 35 calories from fat, total fat 4g, saturated fat 0.5g, trans fat 0g, polyunsaturated 2.5g, monounsaturated 1g, cholesterol 0mg, sodium 85mg, potassium 300mg, total carb 4g, dietary figer 1g, sugar 1g, protein 7g, vit A 10%, calcium 30%, vit D 30%, folate 6%, zinc 4%, vit C 0%, iron 6%, riboflavin 30%, vit B12 50%. I hope this helps.

TURKEY PASTRAMI AND PASTA SALAD

PASTRAMI TURKEY BREAST FOR THE BEST THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Pat turkey dry (if there is skin you can leave it on. If not, you won't miss it) and place in a medium bowl. Mix together pepper, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl, then sprinkle all over turkey (use all of it!). Cover and chill 8-12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300°. Remove turkey from bowl and discard any liquid but keep all of the spice rub in place. Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook turkey, turning every minute or so, until browned on all sides and very fragrant, 6-8 minutes total.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast turkey, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155°, 60-90 minutes, depending on size. Transfer turkey to a wire rack. If you plan to serve it the same day it's baked, let cool at least 30 minutes, then slice very thinly (think deli meat) on a cutting board.
• To serve, spread cut sides of buns with mayonnaise and build sandwiches with buns, turkey, cranberry sauce, lettuce, and pickled red onion. Do ahead: Turkey can be roasted 4 days ahead. Let cool completely, then wrap tightly and chill. Slice just before using. Don't try to reheat it as it will just dry out.

BREAKFAST PASTRAMI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Lightly mist a small microwave-safe bowl with spray. Add the egg whites and microwave for 30 seconds on low. Continue microwaving them in 30-second intervals until they are just barely runny on top. Then using a fork, stir to break them into large "scrambled" pieces. If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done.
• Place a piece of the toast on a serving plate and top it evenly with the cheese, followed by the eggs, then the pastrami. Top the sandwich with the remaining toast slice. Wrap it in a paper towel and microwave it on high for 10 seconds to warm it through. Serve immediately.
• Follow the directions above, but instead of microwaving the egg whites, simply scramble them in a nonstick skillet lightly misted with spray over medium heat.
