Ingredients
Turkey
Rice
Vinaigrette
Directions
- Turkey: Trim the heart, cut the liver in half, and season both with salt. Heat a skillet for several minutes until it's smoking hot. Add grapeseed oil, followed by the heart and liver, and sear, 30 seconds. Turn heat to medium, flip heart and liver, and add garlic clove, rosemary, butter, and a pinch of salt. When the butter is foamy, about 15 seconds, baste the offal as it cooks, another 2–2½ minutes. Offal should be firm to the touch and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set both offal and skillet aside, leaving the remaining fat, garlic, and rosemary in the skillet.
- Add butter, celery, onion, garlic, and chili to the same skillet, over medium heat. Sauté until soft, 3–4 minutes. Remove rosemary and set aside. Meanwhile, remove meat and skin from turkey leg. Discard turkey tendons, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Vinaigrette: Put turmeric, fish sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and turkey stock in a saucepan over medium heat to warm, 1–2 minutes.
- Assembly: Put sautéed vegetables in a bowl. Chop liver and heart, and add to vegetables along with turkey meat, skin, and juices from resting gizzards. Add cooked rice and toss everything together. Add half of the herbs and ¾ of the vinaigrette. Toss again. Taste for seasoning and add more vinaigrette if necessary. Garnish with remaining herbs and serve.
