After Party Turkey/ 2

Following on from this delicious version, and having also stocked up on Turkey steaks at Morrisons, I made another version of my After Party Turkey.

I marinaded the turkey steaks (4 thin slices) in the leftover wine (in this case, red, about 1/3 of a bottle or two small glasses) with two peeled garlic cloves, about 8 squished tomatoes (they had mysteriously frozen in our amazing fridge and had thawed to a pulpy splat) and half a teaspoon of pimenton (smoked paprika).

The next evening I browned the turkey and also sauteed a medium sized onion. When done, I added the wine, tomatoes and garlic and simmered until the wine was well reduced, created a lovely sauce.

Great meal from two ingredients that would so easily have ended up in the bin- the tomatoes and wine : )

After Party Turkey

Turkey is cheap, but it is difficult to desire. It is never quite chicken, and it is often tough and tasteless.

After party Turkey is delicious and adaptable. The key ingredient is a load of wine. That opened bottle of plonk that is not quite drinkable three days or a couple of weeks later is actually just what you need.

Put your turkey steaks in a bowl. As you put each one in add some ground black pepper and any other spices you would like to use (I used some crushed red pepper flakes and some thyme. I also added some chopped garlic and a diced shallot). Cover the turkey with the wine (Do not worry if you don't have enough- just make sure that all the turkey gets covered) and marinate. I marinaded mine for 24 hours.

When the time comes for you to cook the turkey, pop some olive oil in a frying pan and lightly coat with some flour (I used wholemeal). Fry until it is no longer pink in the middle and for no longer!

It should be deliciously succulent!
