Passover Meat and Poultry Mains

Roast Chicken is a traditional Jewish holiday favorite, but brisket, turkey and lamb are especially popular meat dishes for the Passover Seder. Even though meat and poultry recipes don't necessarily include flour as an ingredient, they may also be affected by Passover dietary restrictions.
Turkey and Wine Roast (Meat, Passover)
Turkey is a nice idea for the Passover Seder as it is more special than chicken and lighter than meat. This Turkey and Wine Roast, from Tamar Ansh's Passover cookbook A Taste of Tradition: Pesach - Anything's Possible!, is simple, delicious and prepared the day before the holiday. In addition, left-overs are perfect for Chol HaMoed.
All About Brisket
Brisket is a favorite Jewish holiday entree. Learn how to prepared a great brisket, and choose the best brisket recipe for your family's Passover celebration.
Apricot Chicken (Meat)
So simple and so good! This Apricot Chicken is my family's favorite saucy chicken recipe. I like to make it for Shabbat lunch because it is moist enough to serve the day after baked.
Dry Rub Short Ribs - Susie Fishbein (Meat)
Susie Fishbein includes this recipe for Dry Rub Short Ribs in her Passover by Design cookbook. She writes that the slow braise in wine makes these ribs melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And she suggests serving them over mashed potatoes.
E.T.'s Lemon Marinade (Meat)
This marinade couldn't be easier. It works great with all kinds of poultry, but we usually use this marinade on boneless chicken breasts. For best flavor, make sure to use fresh lemons and garlic.
Lemon Olive Roast Chicken (Meat)
Bring a taste of Israel to your Shabbat table by serving this Lemon Olive Roast Chicken for the Friday night Sabbath dinner. This chicken is especially popular in Moroccan Jewish homes, where it was often served with couscous or rice.
Roast Turkey w Caramelize Onion-Balsamic Gravy - Susie Fishbein (Meat)
If Susie Fishbein writes "I love this turkey recipe", then I've got to make it! Since every Fishbein recipe I've tried has been a huge success, I'm going to use her kosher Roast Turkey with Caramelized Onion-Balsamic Gravy recipe this Thanksgiving.
Simple Roast Chicken (Meat)
Roast chicken proves that sometimes simple is better. Simply mix spices, coat chicken and then roast in the oven. You can make preparation and serving even easier by buying a chicken cut into eighths. The result is a moist and flavorful chicken entree that everyone will love.
Sweet Brisket (Meat, Passover)
Brisket, when correctly cooked and cut, is festive, fragrant, flavorful, and fork-tender. Enjoy this popular cut of breast meat during the Passover Seder.
