Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup, shredded cooked turkey meat
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 sliced into 1/2-inch rounds French baguette
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in shredded turkey meat, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add butter and stir until melted, then mix in heavy cream and water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
Transfer the turkey mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth. If the pate is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to reach desired consistency.
Spoon the turkey pate onto the toasted baguette slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes on top of each crostini for added heat.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, then serve immediately.
