From Debbie Matenopolous' cookbook, "It's All Greek To Me" Here is my family’s secret recipe for the best Baklava ever. Rolling it this way, as opposed to baking it in a flat pan, ensures a light flakiness and just the right amount of the honey syrup running throughout. Around the holiday season, when I was growing up, my mom would make big batches of this so that my sister, my brother, and I could give platters of it to our teachers. Needless to say, every new school year, teachers were very excited to see one of the Matenopoulos kids on their class rosters!
For the turkey, with clean hands, insert your fingers between the skin and the meat at the neck opening and carefully break through the membranes between the skin and the meat all over the breast and thighs. Insert herbs neatly underneath the skin. Position the rack on the lowest level of the pressure oven. Set the pressure oven temperature to 450° F and the function to ROAST. Turn on the timer to preheat the oven. In a mixing bowl, toss together all of the cut-up vegetables and the garlic cloves. Spread them evenly in the pressure oven's baking tray. Tie the turkey's legs together at the ends of the drumsticks with kitchen string or butcher's twine. Fold the wing tips under. Season the turkey all over inside and out with salt and pepper. Drizzle and rub with some olive oil all over the skin. Place the turkey in the roasting pan on top of the bed of vegetables. Place the pan in the preheated pressure oven. Lower the pressure bar and set the timer to 55 minutes.* When the time is up, slowly release the pressure valve and slowly lift the pressure bar until no steam remains. Test the turkey for doneness: an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh not touching bone should read 165° F. If not, roast under pressure for 5 to 10 minutes longer. Remove the turkey from the pan to a platter and cover it with aluminum foil to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Skim any fat from the surface of the pan juices; reserve the juices in the roasting pan. Transfer the turkey to a carving board. Cut into serving pieces and serve with the roasted vegetables and garlic. * If cooking in a conventional oven, cook for 2 hours and 45 minutes at 350 degrees F or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, the onion, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Spread the hash brown mixture into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Move the sheet directly under the broiler and switch the oven to broil. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the hash browns are lightly crisped and golden.Form the “biscuits” by filling a 4-inch biscuit cutter with one-quarter of the baked hash browns. Repeat with the remaining hash browns to make 4 “biscuits” total. Set aside.In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, and tomato paste. Set aside.In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, and hot sauce. With the blender running on low speed, very slowly drizzle in the remaining 8 tablespoons (½ cup) melted butter. Blend until the hollandaise sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Set aside.To assemble, lay the slices in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook until the pastrami is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the pastrami to a paper towel–lined plate.Layer each hash brown “biscuit” with 1 tablespoon of the Reuben sauce, a tomato slice, ¼ cup of the baby spinach, ¼ cup of the sauerkraut, one-quarter of the pastrami, and a poached egg. Drizzle with the hollandaise, sprinkle with the smoked paprika, and serve.
