Mini Chocolate Turkeys

Ingredients:
Strawberries
Pretzel Sticks
Mini Marshmallows
Melted Chocolate (of your choice)

Directions:
Wash and dry your strawberries. After your strawberries are dry, grab the mini marshmallows and pretzel sticks.

Take one pretzel stick and poke it through one marshmallow just until you reach the middle. Repeat this step. Stick the legs onto either side of the strawberry using the melted chocolate to adhere them.

Take the entire strawberry (legs and all) and dip it carefully into the melted chocolate until it is all covered. Place each Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkey onto its own skewer to dry.

Once the chocolate has hardened like a shell, your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys are ready to be served.

1 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
5 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock (optional)

In a large and deep skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add onion and celery, saute slowly until  the vegetables are translucent. Add salt and pepper and fresh sage and stir to combine.

Cornish Hens
Ingredients:
2 T. melted butter
Kosher salt
Black Pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp poultry seasoning
Bellisari's Blistered Jalapeno & Fig Spread


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Season the inside of the hens liberally with salt and pepper and brush the outside with the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and poultry seasoning.

Stuff the hens with 3/4 cup of cooled stuffing.

Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the bodies.

Roast the hens in a roasting pan filled with 1 and 1/2 cups chicken stock for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush Bellisari's Blistered Jalapeno & Fig Spread over each hen liberally, brushing with pastry brush. DO NOT CROSS CONTAMINATE BRUSH.

Continue to roast and bush the hens with Bellisari's Blistered Jalapeno & Fig Spread in 15 minute increments (60-75 minutes total) or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted into the thigh and the rice should register 140 degrees. Serve hens with the extra stuffing and Blistered Jalapeno & Fig Spread. Enjoy!
