Ingredients

  • lbs boneless skinless turkey breast
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 6 slices of deli ham
  • ¾ lb veal diced
  • ¾ lb lean pork loin or shoulder diced
  • ½ lb chicken livers diced
  • ¼ lb pork fatback diced
  • ½ lb liver pâté
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup medium-sweet sherry
  • 1 large egg
  • 6-8 slices bacon
  • ½ cup shelled pistachio nuts skins removed
  • 3 bay leaves

Instructions

  • Tie the turkey breast at intervals and poach it in a pot with chicken broth until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove, let it cool, and remove the string.
  • Wrap the turkey breast with the slices of deli ham.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor, combine veal, pork, chicken livers, pork fatback, liver pâté, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Pulse until a medium consistency is achieved.
  • Gradually add the sherry and egg while pulsing until incorporated.
  • Line a loaf pan with bacon slices, allowing them to hang over the sides.
  • Pour half of the pâté mixture into the pan, sprinkle half of the pistachios on top, then place the wrapped turkey breast in the center.
  • Cover with the remaining pâté mixture and pistachios.
  • Lay the bay leaves in a row down the center and fold over the bacon slices to cover the pâté completely.
  • Place the loaf pan in a larger roasting pan.
  • Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan to create a water bath around the loaf pan.
  • Cover the loaf pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1¾ hours.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, drain any excess fat, and place a weighted object (such as a foil-covered brick) on top of the foil.
  • Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 days.
  • Remove the bay leaves and allow the pâté to come to room temperature before serving.
  • Slice and enjoy!
