We understand that Thanksgiving dinner means a lot to you and we decided to give back to our community with these 15-classic Thanksgiving dinner ideas.

1. Thanksgiving Turkey

It’s turkey time! Our chefs recommend that you bring your bird up to room temperature before roasting to ensure tender meat. Use a roasting rack to help the air circulate through the oven and crisp the skin evenly. Don’t forget the butter! Baste your bird before and during cooking for that beautiful golden hue.

INGREDIENTS

14-lbs. Whole turkey (, with giblets removed.)
1-cup melted grass-fed butter for basting.
2-cups chicken broth.
1-onion cut into wedges.
1-bunch thyme and rosemary sprigs.
1-garlic head halved.
1-handful dry sage leaves.
Freshly ground black pepper and Himalayan pink salt.

METHOD

Position the roasting rack on the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450F. Pat your turkey dry with paper towels and season the cavity of the bird with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Tie the legs together with kitchen wire and remember to tuck the tips of the wings under the turkey’s body.

Using a basting brush, coat the turkey with melted butter and season with freshly ground black pepper and Himalayan pink salt. Place the bird on a roasting tray with the breast side facing up. Pour the chicken broth into the pan and transfer to the oven. As you close the oven door, reduce the heat to 350F.

Baste the bird every 30 to 45-minutes with the melted butter and when that runs out, use the stock at the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast for 4-hours until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh.
