Thanksgiving turkey Thanksgiving turkey
It's a little odd that even though I never grew up with the turkey on Thanksgiving tradition, I've been designated turkey-roaster ever since getting married. On the plus side, this has provided plenty of practice. Above is this year's version. I've learned two keys to great turkey over the years: 1) dry brining in salt overnight results in juicier meat and crispier skin, and 2) you need to rest the bird at least an hour to allow the juices to redistribute.

Not Your Grandmother's Turkey Not Your Grandmother's Turkey
This recipe has become a staple for my family and friends. My wife and many of my friends hated turkey and I always had to make a ham to go along with the turkey. When I asked them why they didn't like it they all had the same answer "It's so dry!". I couldn't really argue with them, most of the turkey I had through my life was dry as well but I'm a gravy fiend so I didn't really care.This recipe creates anything but a dry turkey, make sure you have a deep ridged cutting board to catch all the juice that is going to come from this bird when you carve it.This recipe uses multiple methods to make sure that you end up with the juiciest turkey possible. First off we are going to brine the bird, second we will spatchcock it to keep direct heat off the meat, third we use a binder to lock in the moisture. Joe Lizer -

I make this stock every year before Thanksgiving. It is the foundation for my turkey gravy, stuffing and turkey soup the next day. Any leftover makes for unbeatable pot pies. It is worth every minute it takes for the flavor boost to gravy, stuffing and soup! fenway -

Leftover Turkey n Stuffin' Muffin Leftover Turkey n Stuffin' Muffin
I make something similar with ground beef and cheese so I've adapted the recipe to use up some leftover turkey. The whole family LOVED these!! Easy peezy and a great way to use leftovers from Thanksgiving! Instead of stuffing maybe mashed potatoes? Enjoy!! You can also make in a 8x8 pan or 9x13 but my kidlets get a kick out of the "stuffin muffin". Bridget -
