Turkey Liver Paté

I roasted 2 turkeys for Thanksgiving, and in true peasant style, did not want to waste any part of the turkeys.  Thus I turned the livers into paté in the same way that I previously made duck liver paté, which was based on a recipe in The Essential Pepin.  2 turkey livers  (~5 oz. total), Read More …

Smoked Turkey in a Big Green Egg

For Thanksgiving this year, I smoked a 16 lb. turkey in my Big Green Egg and it turned out very well. The day before Thanksgiving I spatchcocked it, and used the backbone and neck to make turkey stock for Easy Poultry Gravy.  I then marinated the turkey in a 2.5 gallon ziplock baggie with 1.5 Read More …

Buttermilk-Brined Roast Turkey

A signature dish in Samin Nosrat’s cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat is Buttermilk-Marinated Roast Chicken.  In the run up to Thanksgiving, a variation of this recipe for turkey was everywhere, including the New York Times.  We used this approach for our small turkey this year, and it turned out very well.  Carol was particularly impressed Read More …

Turkey Leg Confit

The NYT had a recipe in which chicken legs were roasted in the oven in olive oil with carrots, garlic and lemon.  We had some turkey legs in the freezer, and so we adapted the idea to turkey legs.  The oil in which the turkey cooked, now flavored with poultry, garlic, carrot, and lemon, can Read More …

Honey Lemon Chicken or Turkey Breast

Before Thanksgiving, the supermarkets had great deals on frozen turkey.  We thawed a small turkey and cut it up and used the carcass to make gravy for Thanksgiving in advance.  I saw an article in Food 52 regarding a Honey Lemon Chicken in recipetineats.com which I re-purposed for turkey breast cutlets I had made from Read More …

Bowl of the Wife of Kit Carson

Picture pending Many years ago, when I was living in Thailand and enduring long flights across the Pacific, I found a cooking magazine on the plane, and copied down an unusually titled recipe, “Salad of the Wife of Kit Carson”, which was a grilled chicken salad served with garbanzos, chilies, cheese, and avocado. A couple Read More …

Easy Poultry Gravy

This is how we made the gravy in advance for the clan at Thanksgiving. Since I was going to be roasting turkeys in La Caja China, there would not be any drippings for use in the gravy, so we made it all in advance to reduce the stress of the big day. This was easy Read More …

Pavochon

This is an adaptation of a recipe from the Wall Street Journal for a Puerto Rican variation on roast turkey.  Essentially, it is the same marinade as would be used in Puerto Rico for lechon (roast pig).  I roasted a pavochon for Thanksgiving in the Cuban roasting box (La Caja China) along with two plain Read More …
