I have done this a number of times. It can be made a couple of days ahead, but only keeps about 5 days and doesn't freeze well. This is not a problem. It is yummy and dissappears quickly.
Turkey Liver Pate-- appetizer.
* 1/2 lb butter
* 3/4 c sliced scallions
* 1 med clove minced garlic
* 1 lb turkey and/or chicken livers
* 4 T. cognac or brandy
* pinch of mace, cloves, nutmeg and 2 pinches of thyme.
* 1 1/2 t. of dry mustard
* 4-5 pinches of ground pepper
* salt-- depending on saltiness of butter.
Heat half of the butter in a skillet, adding the garlic and scallions. Saute lightly until tender. Add a little more butter to the skillet and saute livers untill just firm to touch. When you take them out of the skillet they should be firm on the outside, but still pink in the center. Put aside in a small bowl. Add cognac to skillet and scrape up any browned bits. when liquid is warm ignite the cognac. (Keep a skillet lid handy in cas ethe flame gets too scary.) When the flame dies , pour the liquid over the livers.
Chop about 1/3 of the livers coarsely,; set aside. Put the rest of the livers in a blender jar or food processor with the remaining butter and spices to blend smootly. Combine the chopped and blended livers with scallions. Mix well and check to se if salt is needed. Pour into a small deep dish or mould. Chill till firm.
Slice or use a knife to spread on crackers, bread, etc.
This is easier than it sounds---- and people are always impressed that you actually MADE it instead of buying a liverwurst. Also it gives people something to do, (Spreading it on crackers) while you are doing your finishing touches on dinner prep.
