Was Iron Chef V, now is "Turkey Leftovers"..

[squirtthecat]

Since this ICB never got off the ground, let's start a thread for Caribou, ronbeaux and myself to share what we tried to put together for ICB V...

(bring on the tryptophan, cheesy nonsense and the trash talk!)

[classicrockgriller]

All of you guys are going down. ;D

[ronbeaux]

I'll go first for the hammering.

The breast of a well cooked turkey


Some stale corn tortillas


The mis in place


Fry the tortillas cut in quarters until they look like this




Apply stuff that includes turkey(My part had jalapenos)


Bake at 400 until perfect


Then make some that Momma likes

[classicrockgriller]

awesome ron. you need to move closer to Texas.

[squirtthecat]

Damn, that was fast...   I need a few minutes to compose my masterpiece.  ::)

[Quarlow]

Now that is some "Good Eats" Ronbo.

[ronbeaux]

I told you guys it was 'cheesy.'

[Quarlow]

Ow RR. ;D

[classicrockgriller]

ron, how's wife feeling? ( while we wait for squirt)

[ronbeaux]

She is taking some kind of big azz pill that seems to make everything not that important anymore.  Seriously, this is day two and it is always the worst. But it is better than the first two she had this year. We are both just happy that the Doc was able to get the job done and she will be back to normal. Got the campground booked for the new year and she will be ready! Did you ever stop and think about everything that weighs more than 5 lbs around your house????? She can't pick that stuff up for 4 weeks! I'm screwed.

[classicrockgriller]

hell, you'll be happy to do it for her so you can do the cook offs. ;D

[squirtthecat]

Ok, here we go..

The original challenge said 'left over turkey', so I took that to the extreme.

I smoked about 10 pounds of turkey breast, and used some turkey bacon in a different dish. = LEFT OVER

Wandering through the store, they had a cooler with a few clearance items in it... 
Turkey Italian sausage, and Hillshire Farms Turkey 'little smokies'.   = LEFT OVER





The main dish will be turkey wrapped asparagus spears, wrapped in turkey bacon, served over yellow rice.




I'll say up front right now that EVERYTHING was cooked outside.  Turkey, bacon, rice, etc.  The whole shebang.

Prep was done inside for sanitary reasons..

Asparagus, trimmed/peeled:




T Italian sausage,wrapped in T bacon:



Crap picture, but this is the sauce for the asparagus:  Mayo w/ olive oil, spicy mustard and tarragon.




Outside on my work station, T bacon wrapped Italian sausage, and T bacon wrapped lil' smokies:




The workhorse:




At work..





Now, at this point, I wanted to do the rice outside in some kind of traditional Cajun manner. 
After a few friendly PMs between ronbeaux and myself, we came up with a "Yankee Cajun Microwave".

Using Google Translate, this is the best I could come up with. (lots of WHO DAT and WHO DER static later)




Vent WIDE OPEN for this one, folks!




Lil' smokies are on..




Sauce is warming up...




Ok, I came to the realization that Ron was full of S!




Asparagus wraps, 1, 2, 3...








Rice is done..




Asparagus bundle is done..




Plated up!

[ronbeaux]

Yep. She is the taste tester. She can pick out a single spec of black pepper in a bowl of gumbo. Come on squirt, I'm getting sleepy.

[ronbeaux]

A rice cooker?? Where in the heck in all dem who dat's and who der's did you ever get the idear of using a rice cooker. Martha Stewart? Rachal Ray? Richard Simmons? I said ball de rice, not nuke it in some new fangled machine plugged in!!

Otherwise it looked pretty darn good. :P
