Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Up to 10 servings Wrapping a turkey in bacon means no need to salt, brine, or baste. Making a bacon blanket is easy, and butter “glue” holds the bacon in place. Weave the bacon strips tightly together to compensate for shrinkage during the cooking process. You can refrigerate the bacon-wrapped bird for two days before cooking. It should sit at room temperature for two hours before roasting.
Bacon Butter 8 Tbsp unsalted butter 4 oz thick-cut bacon, roughly chopped 1 tsp dried sage 1 Tbsp dried thyme
Turkey 1 turkey, 12- to 15-lbs 1 medium-sized onion, peeled and quartered 1 ½ lbs thick-cut bacon (about 22 slices, longest ones you can find)
Make the Bacon Butter: Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with blade attachment and pulse until smooth. If making ahead, store in the refrigerator and bring back to room temperature before using. Prepare the Turkey: Remove neck and giblets. Set turkey breastside-up on roasting rack set inside a roasting pan. Generously rub turkey inside and out with bacon butter. Put onion pieces in cavity of turkey and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Wrap each leg with two slices of bacon and each wing with one slice of bacon. Tuck ends in the crease between leg and breast. Lay eight slices of bacon side by side, as close together as possible on a piece of parchment paper. Weave another eight slices of bacon into these slices. Set the piece of parchment paper next to turkey at an angle, so as to create a diamond. Carefully flip the paper over the breast. Remove parchment and tuck any bacon ends in the creases between breast and legs. Using kitchen scissors, trim any extra-long bacon.
Roasting: Heat oven to 425°. Arrange rack in bottom third of oven, and remove any racks above it. Add two cups of water to roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes to crisp and darken the skin. Reduce temperature to 325° and roast for 2 to 2 ½ more hours, until a probe thermometer reads 165* between thigh and breast. preheat
Resting and Carving: Let turkey rest at least 30 minutes before carving. Use drippings and reserved giblets to make gravy if you’d like. Remove legs before carving breast. Cut through bacon first and then breast to help keep bacon intact. Serve turkey with any bacon crumbles that fall off as you carve. 425°
Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic and Fresh Herbs 16 open-cap mushrooms (like crimini), even-sized and stalks cut level 3 Tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened 2 Tbsp minced fresh thyme
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely minced ½ tsp garlic powder ¼ cup almond meal 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly fry mushrooms, cap-side-down, in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Arrange mushrooms in a 9x13 oven-proof cooking dish with stalks facing up. preheat
In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients except almond meal together. Spoon a little mixture onto each mushroom and lightly press a little almond meal on top. 400°
Bake about 15 minutes, until mushrooms get golden around the cap, or check for doneness with a small knife; the blade should come out easily when checked.
Easy Keto Gravy 2 Tbsp turkey pan drippings ½ cup onion, chopped 2 cups cauliflower, chopped 1 - 2 cups low sodium chicken or turkey stock
Several springs fresh thyme, parsley, sage and/or rosemary Salt and pepper to taste
In a saucepan, heat fat over medium heat. Add onions and cook until brown. Stir in cauliflower and herb sprigs. Measure pan drippings and add enough stock to equal two cups of liquid. Add pan drippings/stock mixture to pan and simmer until cauliflower is fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Remove herb stems. Let mixture cool slightly and transfer to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Return gravy to the pan to reheat. If needed, add more stock to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cauliflower Hummus with Garlicky Oven-Roasted Broccoli Hummus 4 cups cauliflower florets (about a pound) ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided ½ cup tahini 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1 ½ tsp cumin powder ¼ tsp paprika, plus a little more to garnish 3 – 5 Tbsp water, as needed
Oven-Roasted Broccoli 1 lb broccoli, rinsed and trimmed 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Make the Hummus: Preheat oven to 400°. preheat
400°
Toss cauliflower with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast cauliflower for 35-45 minutes, until falling-apart, soft, golden brown and charred. Add lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. water and remaining olive oil into a food processor. Add cauliflower, tahini, garlic, salt, cumin and paprika. Puree until very smooth. If hummus is too thick, thin it out with 1-3 more Tbsp water, one tablespoon at a time. Sprinkle a little more paprika on top before serving.
Make the Broccoli: Preheat oven to 425°. Peel broccoli stems. Cut florets into bite-size pieces, with about 1-2 inches of stem still preheat attached. Cut remaining stalk into long strips 425° suitable for dipping. Place broccoli in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Using either a parchment lined or non-stick baking sheet, evenly lay out broccoli. Roast just until tender, 8–10 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with Cauliflower Hummus as dip.
