TYLER'S ULTIMATE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes.
• Add red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes until soft. Add tomatoes.
• Stir in the parsley, ketchup and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer relish for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
• Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
• Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture.
• Transfer the meat mixture to the center of a lightly oiled cookie sheet and form into a log (around 9 x 4-inches).
• Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish and then lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm, rotating the meatloaf periodically to ensure even browning.
• Remove the meatloaf from oven and let it cool a bit before slicing.

• water by 1-inch and bring to the boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Strain out the solids and discard. Wipe out the pot and put it over medium heat. Melt the butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the flour. Cook this roux, stirring frequently, until it is golden brown.

• Heat about half the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the turkey wings and brown. Remove the turkey wings and add the remaining oil, onion, carrots, garlic, herbs, and peppercorns and cook for 5 minutes, scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Return the wings to the pot and add chicken broth. Bring to the boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Strain out and discard the solids and set aside the stock.
• Once your turkey has roasted, set the pan over medium heat on the stove top. Discard some of the fat if there is too much (you'll need about 1/4 cup). Add the butter and cook until melted. Add the flour to the pan and, using a whisk, stir constantly to incorporate the fat and flour. Once you have a consistent paste add the warm stock in a steady stream while you stir to work out any lumps. Cook until the gravy has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper and serve.

BURIED SPLIT ROASTED TURKEY WITH GRAVY RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss the sage leaves, rosemary and thyme branches, and parsley leaves together. With poultry shears, cut along each side of the the backbone of the turkey (and save for stock). Spread the turkey as flat as possible, skin side down on a clean surface; with a meat cleaver or large knife carefully cut through the entire breast bone of the turkey, creating two even-sized turkey breast halves with leg and wing attached (or have the butcher do this). Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter evenly over all parts and under the skin of each turkey half and generously season all over with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the bottom of the roasting pan with 4 tablespoons of the herbs. Fit each turkey half into the pan. Add the garlic and cover with the remaining herbs. Roast the turkey uncovered on the lower third of the oven for 1 1/2 hours or until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached. Remove the turkey from the roasting pan and let rest covered for 20 minutes before serving. Strain the drippings from the roasting pan into a measuring cup, pressing the herbs and garlic into the strainer. Set aside and allow the drippings to separate. Dredge the giblets on a large dinner plate in 2 tablespoons of the flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the bottom of the roasting pan over medium heat. Add the giblets and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and set aside. Melt the remaining butter in the roasting pan over medium heat until bubbly. Gradually whisk the remaining flour into the butter and stir until smooth and lightly brown. Separate the drippings from the fat and add only the drippings to the roux, whisking for two to three minutes or until thick and bubbly. Add half the stock into the flour and continue stirring until smooth. Add the remaining stock and let gravy reduce and thicken before adding the wine. Finely chop the giblets, stir in the cream, giblets, and hard cooked eggs (if using). Serve immediately.
