Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Turkey Bone Soup

INGREDIENTS

For the Stock

1 Turkey Carcass 

Turkey Giblets

1 Large Onion, coarsely chopped

6 Cloves Garlic, smashed

1 Cup Parsley

1 Orange Peel 

2 Bay Leaves

Any Roasting Pan Scrapings

7 Quarts Filtered Water

INSTRUCTIONS

In the morning, clean any of the meat from the carcass and refrigerate.  Don’t throw away any of the scraps, place them in a large stockpot along with the giblets. Break up the carcass and add to the pot. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, orange peel, and bay leaves, and cover with cold water.  Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-8 hours. 

When done simmering, use a large slotted spoon or skimmer to remove as much of the solids as possible and discard. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large heat proof container or bowl and begin pouring the remaining liquid through the strainer. Discard the solids. At this point you can ladle half of the broth into mason jars and refrigerate. Once it’s cool, remove the fat with a spoon if desired. Cover tightly and refrigerate or freeze for later.

For the Soup

8-10 Cups Turkey Stock

2 Bay Leaves

1 Tbls Fresh Sage, chopped

3-4 Cups Turkey Meat, bite-sized

3-4 Cups Leftover Cooked Vegetables, diced

OR

3-4 Cups Mixed Vegetables, fresh, diced

1-2 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes or Sweet Potato Mash, optional

Return the stock to the stockpot and bring back to simmer. If using fresh vegetables add those to the pot and simmer until tender, about 30-45 minutes or so.

If using leftover cooked vegetables simply bring everything back to a simmer. Add the bay leaves, sage and turkey and continue to simmer for a few more minutes. 

Use the mashed potatoes to thicken the soup if desired. Simply mix the potatoes with a cup of stock and pour back into the stockpot.

Mongolian Chicken, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Mongolian Chicken & Rice

Serves 4 people

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Chicken Breasts, boneless, skinless, cut up

3 Tbls Cornstarch

1 Tbl Olive Oil

½ Cup Brown Sugar

3 Cloves Garlic, minced

1 Tsp Ginger, grated

1 Tbl Coconut Aminos

1 Tsp Sriracha Sauce

1 Cup Water

Scallions for Garnish, chopped

Cooked Rice for Serving, instructions below

INSTRUCTIONS

Using a bag or bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the cornstarch until coated.  Add the oil to a skillet and heat to medium high. Once the oil is heated, add the chicken. Cook the chicken for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sriracha, and water and set aside.

When the chicken is ready, pour the sauce into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Prepare the serving bowls or platter with the warm rice and pour the chicken and sauce over and garnish with scallions.

Rice

Ratio is 1 to 2 – 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water or broth.

One (1) cup raw rice yields 3 ½ cups cooked rice, or enough for 3 light eaters, 1 ½ cups raw rice for 3 or 4 people and 2 cups raw rice for 4 to 6 people.

Rinse 1 cup rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.  Rinsing the rice before cooking is key; it washes away the starchy powder that might make the cooked rice clump up and stick together.

Combine rice, salt, and water or broth in a medium saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Give everything a gentle stir and bring to a boil, uncovered. Once the boil begins, cover the pot, and reduce heat to the lowest possible setting. Cook rice, undisturbed; do NOT open the lid, for 18 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand at least 15 minutes or until ready to use. Uncover and fluff cooked rice with a fork before serving.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully

Flourless Pecan Pie, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Desserts

FLOURLESS PECAN PIE

Serves 6 people

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Light Brown Sugar

¾ Cup Maple Syrup

3 Tbls Butter

4 Large Eggs

¼ Tsp Sea Salt

1 Tsp Vanilla

2 Cups Pecans, coarsely broken

Pecan Nut Pie Crust, optional, recipe below

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Deep dish pie plate, lightly buttered

Start by sorting through the pecans making certain to remove any shells or odd bits that don’t belong. Save a few of the perfect ones to decorate the top and then roughly crush the rest. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, maple syrup, butter, eggs, sea salt and vanilla extract. Once the mixture is smooth then stir in the crushed pecans.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie plate on a large baking sheet in case the pie spills over.  Give the filling a moment to settle then decorate the top with the reserved pecans. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 350. Cook the pie until it swells and then falls, at that point it’s done.. The pie is completely cooked through when the top is deep golden and the filling barely jiggles. Place on a wire rack to cool before serving.

Pecan Nut Pie Crust Recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Pecan Pieces
2 Tbls Butter, softened
6 Dates, pitted & chopped

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 F

Place pecans pieces into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the butter and dates and continue to pulse until blended evenly. Transfer the mixture to a pan and press to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. The consistency should allow for you to mold the crust to the pie pan evenly.


Bake for 10 minutes until the crust begins to brown. After 8 minutes, check every minute or so, to ensure the crust doesn't overcook. Allow to cool before filling.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully

1 Cup Pomegranate Juice

¼ Cup Honey

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat pomegranate juice and honey over medium heat until boiling. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half and slightly thickened.

6 Leaves Sage

Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Mix in the rosemary and sage and allow to cool before using.

Gravy

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups Turkey Drippings

2 Tbls Cornstarch

½ Cup Water, Milk or White Wine

Salt & Pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

When the roasted turkey is done and removed to cutting board, use a spatula to loosen and mix the pan drippings. Then pour everything through a strainer into a bowl and allow to cool slightly, letting the fat rise to the top.

Once the fats rise to the top skim off about ¼ cup of fat and pour that into a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Skim and discard any remaining fat. Whisk the remaining drippings a bit and measure out 2 cups to add to the pot and bring everything to a simmer.

Create the slurry by mixing the cornstarch with your liquid of choice and whisk until smooth and dissolved. Whisk the slurry into the simmering drippings and continue to whisk until it begins to thicken. Add a salt and pepper to taste.

NOTE:  If you decide to use all the drippings; measure it all out and for each cup of liquid you want to thicken, you’ll need 1 tablespoon of cornstarch added to your liquid of choice.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully

1/8 Tsp Peppermint Extract

1/3 Cup Candy Canes, crushed

Citrus & Herb Turkey, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Citrus and Herb Turkey

INGREDIENTS

1 Whole Turkey, rinsed, empty, and patted dry

2 Tbls Coarse Salt

1 Tsp Black Pepper

1 Orange, sliced

1 Lemon, sliced

1 Lime, sliced

1 Yellow Onion, sliced

1 Head Garlic, separated, peeled and smashed

6 Sprigs Thyme

2 Sprigs Sage

1 Tbl Olive Oil

2 Cups Chicken Broth or Stock

1 Cup Chicken Broth or Stock

½ Cup White Wine

2 Tbls Cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 450F

Place rack in lower position

1 Large Roasting Pan with Lid

In a large bowl add half of the salt and pepper, all of the citrus slices, garlic cloves and herbs and mix well together. Use this mixture to stuff into the cavity, tuck the wings under the bird, tie legs with twine and transfer turkey to a rack set inside a roasting pan. Rub the skin with olive oil and season with remaining salt and pepper.

Pour 2 cups of the broth into the roasting pan and transfer to the preheated oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 350F. Set the timer for 13 minutes of cooking time for each pound of turkey. After first hour of roasting, baste turkey every 30 minutes with the juices from the pan, and cover the pan or tent with foil if skin becomes deep golden brown before turkey is cooked.

The internal temperature should reach 180°F. To check for doneness without a thermometer, pierce the thigh and pay attention to the juices; if the juices run clear, it's cooked, and if the juices are reddish pink, it needs more time. Remove turkey from oven and transfer to a carving board. Let stand at least 15 minutes.

For the Gravy

Pour the pan drippings through a fine strainer and into a pot and add the remaining cup of chicken broth. Set the heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. In a small bowl make slurry with the wine and cornstarch, using a fork to break up any lumps, and slowly pour the slurry into the broth while whisking gently. Turn the heat down to medium and continue whisking constantly, until gravy thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
