Our Best Turkey Recipes
Maple-Glazed Roast Turkey [1]
We spread an herb blend under the skin of a whole turkey, then roasted the bird, slathering with a maple glaze halfway through cooking. Glazing the bird after 2 hours of roasting prevents overbrowning. Serve with our make-ahead Apple Cider Sauce.
Holiday Turkey [6]
For this moist roast bird, we borrowed a couple of tricks from Cincinnati, Ohio, chef Paul Sturkey: basting with butter and cooking with broth in the pan. Serve with Paul's Cranberry-Pear Chutney.
Holiday Turkey [7]
Grilled Turkey Breast with Spiced Almond Butter [11]
When you're not feeding a crowd at the holidays, choose a smaller turkey breast instead of a whole bird. Our nut butter adds a hint of citrus alongside the allspice and pepper. Roast the meat on the grill or in your oven.
Turkey Breast a la Porketta [15]
Our recipe plays up the seasonings in porketta, a pork roast invented by Italian and Portuguese immigrants in Iron Country.
Turkey Steaks with Spinach, Pears & Blue Cheese [19]
Need a fast, but special, dinner this holiday season? This one's ready in just 20 minutes! Season turkey tenderloins with a sage rub then top with spinach, juicy pear slices and blue cheese crumbles.
Tomato Pesto Turkey and sides [23]
Our main dish turkey gets an extra sparkle of flavor from tomato pesto with herbs, salt and pepper slipped between the skin and meat of a turkey breast. The mashed potatoes mix yellow and sweet potatoes with cream cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon and canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. The Brussels sprouts are skillet-roasted and tossed with seasoned mushrooms.
