Temperature : 160F / 71.1C

Ingredients

• 3 T unsalted butter
• Pinch of baking soda
• 1/2 onion, chopped fine
• Salt and pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 t minced fresh thyme
• 2 T Worcestershire sauce
• 3 T quick Oats
• 2 t cornstarch
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 T Dijon mustard
• 2 pounds 85% lean ground turkey
• 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 160.0ºF / 71.1ºC.
2. Melt butter in a 10 inch skillet over low heat. Stir baking soda into melted butter. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt
3. Increase the heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently until onion is softened and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
5. Stir in Worcestershire and continue to cook until slightly reduced about one minute longer
6. Transfer onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
7. Combine oats, cornstarch, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a second bowl
8. Stir egg yolks and mustard into the cold onion mixture until well combined.
9. Add turkey, Parmesan, parsley, and oat mixture; using your hands, mix until well combined.
10. Transfer the turkey mixture into a bag and shape into a cylinder. Remove air by submerging into the water bath and then seal the bag. Place into a second bag with weights to keep the loaf from floating and process for 2 1/2 hours.

1. There are two options at this point: 1) use the juices and thicken it for gravy and serve..(it will have a buttery mustard flavor) 2) Glaze and placed under broiler for five or ten minutes, basting intermittently
2. Glaze recipe: mix 1 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons of cider vinegar and a half a teaspoon of hot sauce in a sauce pan. Whisk and simmer over medium heat until it’s slightly thickened.
