7 dishes for a healthy Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner
In this notebook we have selected five turkey recipes that can transform your dinner. There are several fillings, side dishes and ways to prepare this Christmas treat.
Turkey in champagne sauce
Chef Fernanda Campagnoli, of Filó restaurant, prepared this Christmas turkey with a delicious twist: champagne and leek marinade. The result is a dish seasoned just right and very tender.
Turkey stuffed with sweet and sour farofa
Chef Marcelo Vaz of Brodo Restaurante’s cassava farofa stuffing makes everything tastier, including the Christmas turkey. The contrast between the crunchiness of the farofa and the tenderness of the turkey will make your dinner even more special.
Ball-shaped turkey breast
Ball turkey breast is a cheaper alternative if you’re interested in a slightly cheaper dinner. This version created by the chefs at Chalezinho is delicious with orange sauce. Furthermore, you can accompany the dish with eggs and cherries, which make the atmosphere even more Christmassy.
Turkey stuffed with coconut milk and ginger
In this stuffed turkey recipe from chef Heloísa Bacellar, coconut milk makes the stuffing creamy and full of flavor. But there is a secret: Helô only used the breast, which was opened like a “butterfly” to receive the creamy and spicy filling.
Glazed turkey with molasses
Chef Paulo Neves, of Ghee Banqueteria restaurant, shared his recipe for glazed turkey with molasses and champagne sauce. It’s true that you need to set aside a few hours for the marinade, but you won’t regret it.
