Preparation
Step 1
How do you make turkey liver pâté? Prepare the ingredients. It is best to use fresh liver, but if yours is frozen, thaw it first, preferably in the refrigerator, so the liver keeps its juiciness. To make the liver juicy, tender, and not bitter, I usually soak it in milk for 1 hour. Wash and peel the vegetables. Take the butter out of the refrigerator so it becomes soft.
Step 2
Cook the liver in any way you like - you can fry it, stew it, or boil it. I stewed it in a frying pan with a small amount of water, and it took me 40 minutes. Boiled liver will be more tender and lighter. If you prefer it fried, fry it for 5 minutes on each side and then stew it for 20 minutes under a closed lid with a small amount of water. For pâté, the liver does not have to be cut into portions; you can fry or boil it whole.
Step 3
Cut the onion and fry it over low heat in a frying pan with vegetable oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Grate the carrot on a coarse grater or chop it finely and add it to the onion. Fry the vegetables together, stirring, until done. Let the vegetables and liver cool.
Step 5
Put the liver, onion, and carrot into a blender bowl, add the soft butter, season with salt, and add spices to taste. I added nothing besides salt so as not to overpower the delicate liver flavor. Blend the ingredients until smooth. Not everything fit into my blender bowl at once, so I blended it in 2 batches. Transfer the pâté into containers or jars and place it in the refrigerator. That is all - the delicious pâté is ready. Enjoy your meal!
