Turkey Food Recipe

Mashed Potatoes W/ Leftover Turkey And Ham (Turkey Mountain)

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes (8 oz.); peeled and cut into chunk
1/2 c lowfat buttermilk
1 ts nutmeg; freshly grated
1/4 ts white pepper; freshly ground
1/4 ts sea salt
4 sl cooked ham; (thin slices)
4 sl cooked turkey; (thin slices)
1 brown onion sauce


Instructions

Boil the potatoes for 30 minutes, drain, and return to the pot over low heat. Put a kitchen towel over the top of the pot and let them dry out. (This will prevent a watery consistency in your final product.)

In a medium bowl, mash together the boiled potatoes, buttermilk, and seasonings. Set aside and keep warm.

To assemble: Create an informal mold. Rub the ham around the inside of a soup bowl to lubricate the surface. Layer the ham and turkey to cover the inside of the bowl. Spoon in the hot potatoes, completely covering the meat to about 1/4 inch from the top of the rim, and smooth out the top. Invert the bowl over the middle of a plate, and give it a couple of sharp shakes. The potatoes should unmold in a meat-covered mound.

To serve: Make a depression in the center of each serving, pour on the warm Brown Onion Sauce (see recipe) and garnish with the parsley.
