Sanjay'S (Leftover) Turkey & Cornbread Muffins

• 1 large pan prepared cornbread
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil (extra-virgin, first press)
• 3/4 lb chanterelles, diced
• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Sage, crumbled
• 2-3 cups hot veal stock
• 1-1/4 lb cooked turkey, shredded
• 1 firm, yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 firm shallots, finely chopped
• 2-3 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• Additional veal stock (as desired)
• 10-12 slices good, smoked bacon, cooked & crumbled
• 6 eggs, beaten

1. Lightly oil two jumbo muffin pans, and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350F.
3. Dice the cornbread, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
4. Set in oven, and toast until nicely dried, but not too crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Remove from oven, and allow to cool.
6. In a heavy, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it is very hot, but does not smoke.
7. Saute the mushrooms until beautifully coloured, turning frequently.
8. Season generously with sea salt, black pepper and sage.
9. Stir in the veal stock and shredded turkey meat; blend thoroughly.
10. Stir in the onion, shallots, celery and bell pepper, blend thoroughly.
11. If the mixture seems too dry, add more veal stock.
12. Taste for seasoning, and add more sea salt, black pepper and/or sage as desired.
13. Transfer to large platter lined with paper towelling, and allow to drain.
14. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted, diced cornbread with the beaten eggs.
15. Toss thoroughly to blend.
16. Stir in the sauteed turkey/mushrooms/vegetables; blend thoroughly.
17. Stir in the bacon; blend thoroughly.
18. If the mixture seems too dry, add more veal stock as needed; it should be nice and moist.
19. Transfer to the oiled jumbo muffin pans, filling generously.
20. Set in oven, and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until beautifully golden brown.
21. Remove from oven, and serve immediately.
22. This is delicious with a nice, pale lager, such as Craftsman 1903 or Shorts' Cerveza de Julie.
23. If you prefer wine, a very good Chardonnay, such as Stag's Leap Karia, will be fantastic.
