Fried polenta with my homemade marinara sauce. Yum. It’s crispy on the outside and creamy cheesy on the inside.

My homemade Marinara Sauce: https://youtu.be/2OnNN0WdfpM
This recipe is gluten free and easy to make.
Fried Polenta with marinara sauce recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup polenta
4 cups water
1 tsp. Salt
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
¼ cup gruyere cheese, grated
2Tbsp. Butter
1 quart Marinara sauce, my recipe
1 lb. ground turkey
salt to taste
Directions:
Fry the ground turkey in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Break the meat up with a spatula while it cooks. Add a teaspoon of salt and stir it in.
When the turkey is no longer pink, drain off any excess grease and add the turkey to your marinara sauce. You want your sauce to be thoroughly heated through.
Take a 9 x 13 baking dish and pour 1 tsp. of olive oil in it and spread it around with your fingers or a piece of wax paper.
In a stockpot, add the water and salt. Heat the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, begin pouring the polenta in with a constant slow stream while whisking. Once the polenta comes back to a boil (remember, you are whisking constantly) lower the heat to low and cook for 4 to 5 minutes whisking constantly.
Then cover the pan and cook the polenta for 18 to 20 minutes on low heat. Remember to stir the polenta with a wooden spoon every 4 to 5 minutes to keep the polenta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
After 20 minutes, turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Then add the grated cheeses and stir until the polenta is smooth and creamy.
Put the lid back on and let it sit for 5 minutes with no heat.
After 5 minutes, pour the polenta into the prepared 9 x 13 baking dish. Using a spatula, spread the polenta out into an even layer.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to overnight. You want the polenta to be cold enough to cut into shapes.
Then cut the polenta into desired shapes. I cut it into squares. Place a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp butter and 1 tsp. Olive oil. Once hot, add slices of polenta and cook for between 5 and 7 minutes. Once it is a crispy golden brown, turn the pieces over and continue to cook until golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel covered plate to absorb excess oil.
Immediately serve with a generous amount of hot marinara sauce and a garnish of parmesan cheese.

Once the polenta is done in the refrigerator, can't you freeze the square So?
Your polenta look way way grainier then mine
Do you use fine or coarse cornmeal?
if you watch, just before she's about to put it (hot polenta) in the fridge, she didn't inform you to let it cool all the way down. hence, don't put hot food directly in the fridge
My polenta never gets crispy. It just soaks up all the oil and butter and sticks to the bottom of the pan and makes a mess to get up. What am I doing wrong? It doesn't look like yours at all!
Hi! ☺ I'm enjoying your Polenta video. Tyfs!! I make Polenta, a Grammas recipe, & we slice & fry it. It IS DELISH!! 😛😛
QUESTION: You mentioned that you cook it for 20 minutes???
I use fine grain cornmeal… Should I be using coarse? I, literally, stand @ the stove from start to finish & mine is done in less than 10 minutes (constant stirring), then poured in bread loaf pan to set before slicing & frying. Have a Happy Mothers' Day Weekend!! Stay Safe!! ☺☺😎😎
You called you sauce marinara but you had it turkey mince.
Marinara is usually a seafood sauce.
Was your sauce a primavera sauce?
Which is a vegetarian sauce! 😊
Hi I was just wondering if we could use chicken or beef stock instead of water for the polenta?
Thank you.
I really only came here for the crispy polenta recipe. Except, that’s not a good recipe for crispy polenta. The water to corn ratio should be half. Like 2 -2.5 cups of water to one cup polenta. Disliked video because it wasted my time
Great,your opening welcome was really welcome!
Lovely 😊
Can you use fried polentabread to a file' ?
Hot water cornbread…Caribbean, Fungi
.
I hear that crunch!
My mother used to make "cornmeal mush" when we were growing up. She put it in a loaf pan and the next morning she would slice it like bread, then fry it up and we would put butter and maple syrup on it and eat it like pancakes. One of my best memories in my mother's kitchen.
At first Sight in the intro I thought "Why didn't you brown the beef first!?" I see it's turkey…. I really need to eat healthier… Yet maintain my traditional comfort foods. This is so inspiring, thank you!
It llooks gut and yummy! Gonna try it sometime ant tell you later how it really tastes. Thank you in advance.
I want to cut mine in triangle shapes!
Lovely. I love the addition of butter and the frying in butter!
I want a video of how to fry polenta WITHOUT using a non-stick pan.
I've just tasted fried polenta for the first time and I want more! Thank you for the tutorial on how to make it and fry it, now I need to go to your vlog for your marinara sauce recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Well I always use self-made fond/broth, mostly poultry, instead of water for taste. Here I would put fried capers, onions etc . on top; whipped feta cream and roasted pine nuts. Take care
You're so talented. Looks delicious, wishing you were my mom right about now!!
What temp do you fry on medium?
I really like polenta and your idea of frying it seems excellent. I’m definitely going to try it. Thank you.
Love the patience with which you cook
Where do I get the recipe for the sauce?
