How to make a turkey Tutorial

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

I found these great videos demonstrating how to make a turkey.  First I highly recommend brining the turkey, chicken or pork whenever you are going to make those meats.  Even if it is for an hour it is worth it.  You can flavor the brine the way you like. This video uses bourbon for the turkey, cool idea, you can also use citrus, spices etc.  Try and brine overnight.  Click on the photo to see the video. Read More→

Marmalade Marinade for Pork Tenderloin or chicken wings

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Print This Post Print This Post

MaryAnne from Scottsdale called and tried this marinade from Sam the cooking guy but she used it on chicken wings. She marinaded the wings put them in the oven roasted them and then toward the end added more marinade.

Marinated pork tenderloin

  • 2-1 pound pork tenderloins
  • 1 cup orange marmalade
  • 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1.5 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1.5 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Steps

  1. Preheat grill on high
  2. Season pork with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
  3. Grill pork, turning to evenly brown well on all sides, then turn heat to medium
  4. Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl
  5. Begin basting pork once the heat is turned down – too soon and the sweet sauce will burn
  6. Continue cooking and basting until pork is the way you like it – which for me is just a tiny bit pink in the center
  7. Remove from grill and allow to rest a few minutes
  8. Warm remaining basting sauce in the microwave, and drizzle over sliced pork and serve

Pork Tenderloin with Peaches, Plums, & Cherry and Pistachio Wild Rice

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 tsp. safflower oil
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 peaches and 2 plums pitted and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened dried cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted roasted pistachios shelled and coarsely chopped

Preheat Over to 375 degrees F.

Rinse rice under cold water; drain.  Combine rice with 2 cups water in a medium pot over high heat and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, so liquid is at a bare simmer.  Cover pot and simmer for 40 minutes.  Remove pot from heat and keep covered for 10 minutes.

Coat a large ovenproof saute pan with oil and set over medium high heat.  Season pork with salt and pepper.  When pan is hot, sear pork for 2 minutes per side to brown.  Add peaches and plums around seared pork and transfer pan to oven.  Roast pork, peaches and plums for about 20 minutes (until a thermometer registers 145 degrees F) when inserted into the center of the pork.  Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes.

Fluff rice and stir in cherries and pistachios.  Slice pork into 1/4 inch pieces or 4 portions.  Divide rice mixture, pork, and fruit among four plates.
