A flavorful brine is the one and only path to truly succulent roast turkey.

The combination of sage, thyme, rosemary, and citrus provides a delicious, warming house-filling aroma. 

This mushroom risotto recipe is made even better with shredded turkey leftovers.

A simply roasted turkey recipe, glazed with rosemary-infused butter.

Here is a recipe I adapted from the cooking of Kurt Gardner, a New York theater man of great culinary passions who has been contributing the dish to our home for years, usually in proportions large enough to feed boroughs. Rare is the month where there is not a frozen bag of this stuff in our freezer, ready to be deployed.
