Deep Fried Turkey with Creole Spices Ingredients 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon ground bay leaves 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 orange) 1 (10- to 12-lb.) frozen whole turkey, completely thawed, neck and giblets removed 3 gallons canola oil, for frying 3 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Zatarain's) Directions: Combine 1 1/4 cups of water, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, ground bay leaves, garlic powder, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-high; simmer, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids. Pat turkey dry. Fill a meat injector with marinade mixture, and inject in turkey breasts, legs, and thighs. Repeat until the injector is empty. Place turkey on a large parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pour oil in a deep propane turkey fryer. (The 3-gallon amount is below the recommended fill line, about 10 to 12 inches from top of fryer, which will help prevent hot oil from bubbling over once frying begins.) Heat oil to 350°F over a medium-low flame according to manufacturer's instructions. Using the turkey rod attachment, carefully lower turkey, neck down and legs up, into hot oil. (Hot oil may bubble over the rim of the pot, so pay close attention!) Fry turkey about 3 minutes per pound, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh registers 155°F, about 30 minutes. Carefully lift turkey out of oil; transfer to a carving board. Sprinkle hot turkey all over with Creole seasoning. Rest until thermometer registers 165°F, about 30 minutes. Carve turkey, and serve.

Lemon Cream Cheese Bars Ingredients: Crust 1 stick unsalted butter, melted 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt Filling 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 3/4 cup jarred lemon curd Directions
Make Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a square 9-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper. Combine butter, sugar, and egg in a bowl with a spoon until well incorporated. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until no dry pockets remain. Sprinkle dough in prepared pan and press to make an even layer. Bake until lightly browned across surface, 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Make Filling: Lower oven temperature to 350°F. In a stand mixer, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl; add eggs, vanilla, and flour. Beat on low until combined. Increase speed and beat on medium-high until lightened and airy, about 3 minutes. Pour cream cheese mixture evenly over crust. Stir lemon curd to make sure it's loosened and dollop curd across surface of cream cheese mixture. Use a butter knife to make swirls in the lemon curd and cream cheese. Bake until evenly browned, rotating the baking pan halfway through baking, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan and slicing.
