Our Best Turkey Recipes

Our recipes help you find a fresh flavor for this year's turkey, with ideas for cider-brined turkey, maple-gazed turkey, grilled turkey breast and more.

Cider-Brined Turkey with Roasted Apples [1]

Even better than the pretty glazed fruit and crazy-juicy bird? The appley gravy made from the drippings.

Maple-Glazed Roast Turkey [5]

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 [10]

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.

Grilled Turkey Breast with Spiced Almond Butter [15]

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.

Tomato Pesto Turkey and sides [27]

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.
