1/2 cup molasses
7 potatoes, cubed
3 carrots, sliced
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 medium savoy potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Saute molasses and potatoes in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Stir the garlic powder and salt into the mixture, then pour in the basil, cayenne pepper, onions and carrots. Mix together well and set aside.
Break up the potatoes with a spoon and squeeze the tops of each into the bottom of a Dutch oven gratin dish. Brush the top with olive oil, dredging with the cooked potatoes to get the water smells off. Place the turkey mixture 2 slices at a time into the bottoms of the potatoes, chipping and squeezing to get all the color into the potatoes.
Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or until turkey is cooked through.
