• Butter

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 425 ° F.

2. Smear the turkey with butter, then season well with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan in the lower portion of the oven, legs toward the back. Roast until the turkey starts to turn golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 ° F, and roast the turkey for about 1 1/2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes. (The white meat is done when a quick-read thermometer reaches 150 ° F.)

3. Remove turkey from oven and (at table, if desired), remove the large breast fillets from each side of the turkey. Let the fillets rest a few minutes before carving into thin slices.

4. Meanwhile, return the rest of the bird to the 325 ° F oven. Cook until the dark meat reaches 175 ° F, about 20 minutes more. Remove, let rest a few minutes, and serve the dark meat.

• 1/2 cup mixed fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary) • 1/4 cup dried figs, halved • 1/4 cup shelled and lightly toasted pumpkin seeds • 3 tablespoons butter • Salt and pepper to taste • 1/4 cup chicken stock

LET’S TALK TURKEY With as many hours that are spent in preparation for the perfect Thanksgiving meal no one wants to sit down for the culmination of that hard work, the feast, and savor a bite of dry turkey. We are here to help.

This Thanksgiving, find the bird that is right for you, explore new recipes and perhaps try a new way to prepare your turkey.

This Thanksgiving Your Possibilities are Endless: • ROAST • SMOKE • CONFIT • ROULADE To explore these preparation methods for this year’s Turkey we recommend breaking down your turkey, separating breasts from wings, wings from legs and thighs. This will provided added benefits like: • MORE EVEN COOKING • BETTER SEASONING • CRISPIER SKIN • RICHER GRAVY

FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS TO DECONSTRUCT YOUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY 1. Cut through the skin that connects the breast and the drumstick. Find the breastbone. Position a long, flexible knife (or a boning knife) on one side of it, and slice downward, as close to the bone as possible.

As you slice, use your other hand to pull the meat away from the breastbone until you’ve cut the breast off the carcass in one piece. Repeat on other side.

2. Using the chef’s knife Remove wings by using the tip of your knife to find the joint and cutting through the joint to remove the wing. Repeat on other side.

3. Slice down along the thigh meat until you reach the joint. Using a paper towel, grab the leg and push down, separating the leg and thigh from the bird. Use your chef’s knife, to cut through the joint, removing the thigh and leg.

Starting at one end, place one strip of bacon perpendicular to the others, and weave it through the 4 strips (i.e. over, under, over, under). With the next strip of bacon, weave it in using the opposite pattern from the first (i.e. under, over, under, over).
