Turkey Liver Mousse Toasts with Pickled Shallots

Credit: © Petrina Tinslay
Go to Recipe

This hors d'oeuvre is a Louisiana riff on traditional French chicken liver pate. The Rushings create a silken mousse with livers from the quintessential American bird, turkey, but you can also use chicken livers. Instead of cornichons, the little French pickles, the Rushings add a sweet-and-tangy Southern accent–pickled shallots.

Creamy Chicken Liver Mousse

The key to its rich texture is to let the livers come to room temperature and to blend the softened butter into them gradually when pureeing. This recipe must be refrigerated overnight to let the flavors develop, so plan accordingly.

Chicken-Liver Mousse with Pickled Red Onion

Go to Recipe

A good recipe for chicken-liver mousse is critical, says Shawn McClain, "because when a recipe's bad, it's really bad." His version is supremely silky and light, with a lovely hint of apple from Calvados. He serves the mousse with pickled red onion and toasted baguette slices alongside, so guests can assemble their own crostini.
