Turkey

 The second turkey dish inspired by Iron Chef Rokusaboro Michiba's

 battle with  Challenger Hiroshi Furusho

             Turnip and Foie Gras Ravioli

                 Iron Chef Michiba combined butter, sweet sake, and

                      soy sauce to sautéed foie gras. He hollowed out turnips

                            and filled them with the foie gras mixture. He then wrapped

                        Chinese wonton skins around the turnips to make raviolis.

                   I think he steamed the foie gras stuffed turnip raviolis.  

Wooden Chef's Turnip Stuffed with Turkey Liver Ravioli

Since foie gras is goose liver, I thought I would use two boiled turkey livers instead. 

Wooden Chef's Turnip Stuffed with Turkey Liver Ravioli

1 turnip

2 turkey livers ( about 1¼ oz.)

¼ teaspoon of Chinese five spice

2 eggroll wrappers

½ teaspoon of soy sauce

cilantro leaves for garnish

The livers were already boiled. Mash the livers in a bowl with the

five spice seasoning and the soy sauce. Slice the turnip so that

it has a flat bottom and top. slice off about a quarter inch of the top

to make a "lid". Hollow out the turnip by cutting a one inch circle

in the middle, or stabbing eight cuts and joining them into an

octagon shape. Cut the circle into quarters and dig out the center

with a spoon. Use the spoon to round out the hole in the turnip,

being careful not to dig through the bottom. Stuff the turnip with

the liver mixture and put the top on. Get a deep bowl and fill it

about two-thirds full of water. Use the water to wet one of the egg

roll wrappers. Set the turnip in the middle of the wet wrapper and

push the wrapper up the sides of the turnip, folding the corners.

Wet the other wrapper and put it over the top of the turnip.

Put the turnip ravioli into the bowl of water and microwave for

five minutes. Microwave another two minutes before serving.

I added some cilantro for garnish because the dish looked plain.
