\ud83c\udf77 A white wine and vegetable brine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A turkey that spends the night in salted water stays juicy, period. The brine here is built with white wine, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Most turkeys are already lightly seasoned, but I still add my salt: the recipe works the same, even with a regular turkey. For the base of a big holiday table, take a look at my perfectly juicy Christmas roast turkey<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf4e An apple, red onion and thyme stuffing, saut\u00e9ed before it goes in<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inside the cavity it doesn’t get as hot as it does in the oven, so a raw stuffing would come out almost raw. I saut\u00e9 the apples, red onion, garlic and thyme in a big skillet first, which brings out their flavor before the bird gets filled. And the stuffing is served with the turkey, not left behind in the cavity.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd42 Basted with cider<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All through the roast, the turkey gets basted with cider. It perfumes the meat and gives the skin a little apple note. Worried about wrecking your turkey at Christmas? Use a meat thermometer and you’re set: there’s no guessing in this recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
