Instructions

Cornbread

  • Saute the onion, celery, and jalapeno in the butter for about 5 minutes. It will be a lot of butter. Add the thyme and sage and remove from heat.
  • Pour the butter mixture into a bowl with the buttermilk, stock, and eggs and whisk well.
  • Add the sugar, cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt and mix to combine.
  • Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 375 for a half hour.

Turkey Patties

  • Mix all the ingredients together to combine.
  • Form patties with your hands and cook in a skillet on medium low to brown on both sides and cook through. Be careful because these will burn easily, there is a high sugar content from the cranberry sauce.
  • Remove from the pan, and deglaze the pan with the chicken stock (from the hollandaise ingredients.) Scrape all the good stuff off the pan and allow to simmer for 5 minutes to reduce.

Hollandaise

  • Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the juice from the lemon until lightened in color and fluffed up a bit.
  • Place on a double boiler and whisk in the melted butter slowly.
  • Continue to whisk until the mixture has thickened and reached an internal temp around 135.
  • Remove from heat. Pour the chicken stock mixture from the turkey skillet through a mesh strainer and into the hollandaise, whisking to combine.

Finish it

  • Bring salted water to a boil. Crack an egg into a mesh strainer. Shake out the excess egg white that falls through the strainer.
  • Dip the strainer into the boiling water and shake the egg free into the water.
  • Simmer about 3 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a strainer.
  • Place a 2 squares of cornbread down on a plate. Top with the turkey. Then the egg, then a generous scoop of hollandaise. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
