ted s a o R TURKEY BREAST with ROOT VEGETABLES, PAN GRAVY and Israeli Couscous

SERVES

6-8

COOK'S NOTE

When I have a larger crowd for dinner I cook 2 turkey breasts in the same pan, I DOUBLE EVERYTHING. If your pan is not big enough, you can use a large cookie sheet.

DIRECTIONS

INGREDIENTS

Allow the turkey breast to stand at room temp for about 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 375°F.

• 1 boneless (skin on) turkey breast HALF (it should be around 3-4 lb.)

STEP ONE

Put the 4 cups of cubed root vegetables in a medium size pot, cover with water by a few inches and bring to a boil. Cook the vegetables for 10 minutes, the vegetables will only be partially cooked, drain, set aside. STEP TWO

In a small bowl, make a paste with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper, set aside. STEP THREE

Place the turkey breast inside a large roasting pan, you will dress the turkey right in the roasting pan so that all the excess spices and herbs fall into the dish rather than a work surface. STEP FOUR

Squeeze and rub lemon half all over turkey (keep the squeezed lemon half). Discard any seeds. Leave the lemon half in the roasting pan. STEP FIVE

Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey separating the skin from the meat in order to get the spice mixture under the skin. STEP SIX

Stuff the herbs under the turkey and some under the skin as well. Place the previously squeezed half lemon under the turkey. The turkey should be in the pan, flattened out with the skin side up.

• Up to 4 cups cubed (bite size) root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, squash, turnip, parsnip, carrot, or regular cooking potatoes • 1/2 lemon • 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 tbsp paprika • 1 tbsp garlic powder • 1 tbsp kosher salt • Pepper to taste • 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme, left whole or roughly chopped • 3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, left whole or roughly chopped • 2-3 chopped shallots, roughly chopped • 3-4 stalks of celery from the inside of the celery the small ones with the leaves, roughly chopped (including the leaves) • 1 HEAD garlic, cloves separated, skins left ON • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed • 2 cups chicken stock or a combination of white wine and stock (or water) • 2 cups Israeli Couscous, cooked in salted water according to package directions

STEP SEVEN

Add the chopped shallots, celery, garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes to the bottom of the pan. STEP EIGHT

Scatter the partially cooked root veggies around the turkey breast and in and around the tomatoes and garlic. STEP NINE

make ahead tip

You can prepare the whole thing in advance except rubbing the turkey with the lemon. One hour before cooking, take the turkey breast out of the fridge and rub with lemon and let sit at room temperature for the hour before cooking.

Add the stock/wine/water to the bottom of the roasting pan. STEP TEN

Cook for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours or until the meat thermometer reads 160°F in the breast, the skin should be golden brown. Baste the turkey every 20 minutes with drippings; add more stock/wine/water if needed. STEP ELEVEN

Once cooked, remove from the oven, remove turkey from the pan onto a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil for about 10 minutes. Separate the vegetables from the pan drippings or jus, reserve. STEP TWELVE

Slice the turkey breast crosswise on an angle in 1/4 - 1/2 inch slices.

SIMPLE HOME

UPDATES BEFORE the holidays

oliday entertaining can be stressful, and every good host wants to impress. Before the cooking begins and the guests arrive, consider tackling a few projects that will refresh your space to make a great impression without breaking the bank. Depending on your skill level, here are a few quick ideas from The Home Depot Canada to inspire and inform.

BEGINNER

MODERNIZE YOUR HARDWARE

Woodale Aged Brass Pulls

American Standard Sink and Faucet

Stay on trend by upgrading your cabinet knobs and pulls. To give your space a contemporary feel, look for on-trend hardware in matte black, rose gold or brass. If the new pull is the same size as the old one, simply unscrew from behind and replace. If you need to resize, fill the existing holes with a durable wood filler, sand and touch-up. Then make a paper template with the new hole spacing marked centre on the drawer, and drill the new holes to install hardware. This frugal fix packs a lot of bang for your buck. N OV I C E

REFRESH YOUR KITCHEN FAUCET

Richelieu Rustic Forged Cabinet Pull

Wisdom Stone Pearl Rose Gold Cabinet Knob

Liberty Mandara Champagne Bronze Cabinet Knob

The kitchen is the heart every home, and during the holidays it will likely be the centre of the party. Impress guests with a quick and trendy faucet update. First, determine how many holes exist in your sink or in your countertop if you have an under-mount sink. This determines what type of replacement faucet will fit. Three and four-hole sinks are the most common. If you have a three-hole, you can choose a faucet with two accessories, such as a soap dispenser or sprayer. You also can select a double-handle faucet with one accessory or a single-handle with a deck plate such as American Standard's Fairbury gooseneck faucet. Whether your style calls for a matte black farmhouse look or a sleek, polished chrome modern aesthetic, this upgrade offers both practicality and stylish design. >>>

E X P E RT

UPGR ADE YOUR TOILET With extra bustle in your home this season, consider replacing your toilet to save on water bills and cleaning. Look for high-efficiency models with enough flushing power to eliminate the stress of emergency clogging. Choose a high-power model like the Champion from American Standard, which earned its title for its ability to move masses 70% larger than a standard toilet. So, if your visiting nephew accidentally throws the toilet paper roll in the bowl, worry not because this toilet will flush it down. The best part is that no tools are required for installation and it includes everything you need to make the swap. THN www.newscanada.com
