The Best Thanksgiving Turkey!

• tổng thời gian: 1 hour

Nguyên liệu

Recipe:

Dry Brine:

1 (13 to 14) pound spatchcocked turkey

1/4 cup kosher salt (I use Diamond Crystal)

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground coriander

Compound Butter:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

7 garlic cloves, grated

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Avocado oil, for drizzling on top

Glaze:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

3 sprigs fresh thyme

3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Zest of 1/2 an orange

First, spatchcock the turkey: Use paper towels to pat the turkey dry and remove the bag of giblets. On a large cutting board, place the turkey breast-side down, with its backbone up. Starting from the bottom area, cut along one side of the backbone through to the end. Cut along the other side of the backbone and remove the backbone (discard or save for stock). Spread the turkey wide open.

Flip the turkey over, place it breast-side up on the cutting board, spread its legs out, and firmly press down with your hands on the middle of the breast bone until you hear a few cracks and the turkey sits flat on the cutting board.

Line a large sheet pan with foil. Set a wire rack on top.

Make the dry brine: In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, brown sugar, and coriander. Rub the dry brine all over the turkey, including the bottom of the cavity. Place the turkey on the rack and refrigerate uncovered for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.

When you are ready to cook the turkey, preheat the oven to 325°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven. Take the turkey out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before it goes into the oven. Remove the turkey from the sheet pan and place on a new sheet pan lined with a wire rack without foil. Recipe continued in the comments! #food #thanksgiving #turkey
