Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup, shredded cooked turkey meat
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 sliced into 1/2-inch rounds French baguette
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in shredded turkey meat, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add butter and stir until melted, then mix in heavy cream and water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the turkey mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth. If the pate is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to reach desired consistency.

Step 8

Spoon the turkey pate onto the toasted baguette slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes on top of each crostini for added heat.

Step 10

Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, then serve immediately.
