STUFFED TURKEY BY V&CO

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving on the other side of the Atlantic! A moment to remember and celebrate the help given by the Indigenous to the Pilgrims landed the Mayflower in 1620.

A party that has become a real symbol of sharing and gastronomy in the United States (4th Thursday of November) but also in Canada (in October). A celebration that gives us ideas for your food and wine pairings of the end of the year … Why not try stuffed turkey (with Provencal accent) accompanied by our Tavel Les Combelles, a perfect match to surprise and treat your guests.

Put on your apron, all in the kitchen!

Ingredients:

1 beautiful turkey (do not forget to order from your poultry farmer)
1 lemon
1 onion
Garlic
Thyme
Sage
20 cl of milk
Mie of bread
300g of sausage meat (depending on the size of the turkey)
Chicken broth
Fresh cream
Flour
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180 ° C with the grid at the bottom third position.

Step 2: Prepare the stuffing by dipping the crumb into the milk. Fry the onions in butter with a clove of garlic. Make lemon zest. Stir in zest, sausage meat, breadcrumbs, caramelized onions and garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.

Step 3: Stuff the cavity with the stuffing and the sage leaves. Tie the thighs with string.

Step 4: In a bowl mix: olive oil, lemon and crushed garlic. Rub the skin of the chicken with this preparation and slip under the skin.

Step 5: Transfer the turkey to a rack located in a roasting pan. Pour 2 cups of chicken broth into the roasting pan and put in the oven. Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part indicates a temperature of 165 degrees.

Step 6: After the first hour of roasting, brush the turkey every 15/20 minutes and cover with foil if the skin turns dark golden brown before cooking the turkey.

Step 7: Remove the turkey from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let stand for at least 15 minutes by covering with foil.

Step 8: Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat and simmer the cooking juices and remaining chicken broth. Mix the cream and add flour to thicken the sauce by whisking the mixture well.

Step 9: Cut the turkey and serve with the sauce.

Mario loves all things connected to food and especially wine. He used to be sommelier before deciding to take over this restaurant set in a pretty building at the heart of the village of Castillon.

Mario is very welcoming, and will make you feel at home. He has a real presence, with his lilting accent, and is one of the emblematic figures of Castillon du Gard today….

TASTING BY ANDREAS LARSSON

Tasting by Andreas Larsson best sommelier in the world 2007
Note = 90 points.

Richard Bernard used to be sommelier in the restaurant of the Saint James Hotel, near Bordeaux. He is the first to have received the double title of best young sommelier in France and best sommelier in France in the same year.

And yet he is humble and approachable, with a great memory for detail which is very useful in his job. He has been working for many years now with the Maison Ginestet (Taillan Group).

Richard accepted our invitation to taste our wines… a first experience that we hope will be followed by others. On this occasion he tasted the new Signature Châteauneuf du Pape and Côtes du Rhône wines and was very complimentary about their quality…

Le Vieux Castillon is a 4 stars hotel-restaurant in the very heart of Castillon du Gard.

A very charming hotel to offer you out of the time meals inside this place ideal to relax and enjoy.

The « BISTRONOMIC” Restaurant, with a great vineyards view, delivers a refined and authentic cuisine, perfect to pair with the Signature cuvee Vignobles & Compagnie.
