Tacchino sfilacciato con purè di patate

Ingredienti

• 4 cups leftover shredded turkey
• 1/2 yellow onion (roughly chopped)
• 1 large fresh garlic clove (smashed and peeled)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• kosher salt (to taste)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons good quality poultry seasoning
• 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 cups turkey stock or turkey broth (plus more if needed)
• 1 cup milk
• freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 4 cups leftover mashed potatoes (approximately)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Place leftover turkey in a large mixing bowl. Using your hand mixer, mix on low speed to finely shred the turkey. I find that it's easier to do this if the turkey is slightly warm.

2. 2

   In the bowl of your mini food processor, add the onion and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.

3. 3

   In a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the onion and garlic mixture with a pinch of salt. Stir and cook until softened, about 6 minutes.

4. 4

   Next add in the poultry seasoning and cook for another minute.

5. 5

   Next sprinkle in the unbleached all-purpose flour, stir and cook for 2 minutes. Switch over to a whisk, and slowly pour in, while whisking, the turkey stock and milk.

6. 6

   Bring to a bubble over medium to medium-high heat. Once bubbling, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened. About 8 minutes or so.

7. 7

   Add in the shredded turkey and heat through. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.If turkey and gravy is too thick, add a little more stock or milk.

8. 8

   Ladle the turkey and gravy or warm mashed potatoes and top with freshly ground black pepper, snipped chives and/or minced parsley.
