Directions

​

Savory brine mixture

​

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large (3+ qt) saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.                                                                                  

  2. Let the mixture cool completely before proceeding. 

​

Brining turkey in buttermilk

​

  1. After removing backbone, wingtips, neck, and giblets from turkey cavities.                                                           

  2. In a large container, such as a seal-able brine bag or 5-gallon food-safe grade bucket with lid, add cold Savory Brine Mixture and buttermilk. Stir well. Add turkey to the brine and submerge it. If using a bucket, place an ice-filled bowl on top of the turkey to keep the turkey submerged.                                                 

  3. Brine turkey no longer than 24 hours, remembering to keep it under 40 ℉ for the entire brining time.                                                                               

  4. Remove turkey from brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Discard brine.

​

Cooking brined turkey on grill

​

  1. Prepare grill for indirect medium-high heat. Place turkey on grill and cook for 1-1/2-2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 ℉. The outside should be crisp and golden brown.                                                                               

  2. Remove turkey from the roasting pan and let set for 15-20 minutes before carving.

​

Roasting brined turkey on oven

​

  1. Preheat oven to 325 ℉. Place turkey on a V-shaped rack in a 2-inch roasting pan and roast about 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 ℉. The outside should be crisp and golden brown.                                                                               

  2. Remove turkey from the roasting pan and let set for 15-20 minutes before carving.                                                                               

  3. Optional: Feel free to add your favorite glaze or baste your turkey during the cooking process. Either way, you'll have a tender, juicy buttermilk turkey.

If your corn soufflé is runny, the first place to look is the zucchini, which has a high water content. You may have been tempted to skip the first step to cut down on salt—don't! The sodium brings moisture to the surface so it can drain properly. Then, make sure you've dried the zucchini well with paper towels. Or, the culprit could be the corn; make sure you drained it well after blanching. To be extra sure, blot the kernels with a paper towel after you've cut them off the cob. You can also omit the blanching step—it makes the kernels easier to remove from the cob, but isn't strictly necessary. Finally, make sure your egg whites are stiff—you want them to add air to the souffle, not liquid.

 

-Hazel Wheaton

Directions

​

  1. Place zucchini in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and toss. Let stand 30 minutes. Rinse and drain well; blot dry with paper towels. Meanwhile, separate eggs; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Grease a 2-1/2-qt. souffle dish; dust lightly with flour.                                                                                    

  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Place corn in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, covered, 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Cool slightly. Cut corn from cobs and place in a large bowl.                                                    

  3. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add green onions and zucchini; cook and stir until tender. Stir in flour, pepper and remaining salt until blended; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add to corn; stir in cheese.                                                       

  4. Stir a small amount of hot zucchini mixture into egg yolks; return all to bowl, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.                                                                          

  5. In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff but not dry. With a rubber spatula, gently stir a fourth of the egg whites into zucchini mixture. Fold in remaining egg whites. Transfer to prepared dish.                                                                              

  6. Bake 45-50 minutes or until top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately.

Cranberry Orange Sauce

YIELD  10 servings        TIME  30 minutes

cranberry_orange_sauce.jpeg

Homemade cranberry sauce requires just a few ingredients and is a cinch to make. This version is flavored with orange juice and orange zest, which makes it a little more special for the holidays. Serve it with roast turkey, gravy, and all the other classic holiday dishes. If you have any leftover, try mixing it with some mayonnaise — cranberry-mayo is delicious on turkey sandwiches!

​

-Jenn Segal

Ingredients

​

  • 2 oranges

  • 2 pints cranberries

  • 1 cup white sugar

Directions

 

  1. Begin by zesting one of the oranges. A rasp grater is the best tool but any grater with small holes will work — just be sure to leave the white pith behind as it’s quite bitter. Always zest the orange before squeezing the juice out, as it’s near impossible to do afterwards.                                                             

  2. Combine the orange juice, water and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a boil.                                                             

  3. Add the cranberries, orange zest and salt.                                                               

  4. Boil gently for about 10 minutes. Most of the cranberries should burst open, creating a thick sauce. You may need to mash them a bit with a spoon.                                                                         

  5. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Directions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 ℉ with rack on upper middle position. Line baking sheet with heavy duty foil.                                                       

  2. In a large bowl, toss the squash with remaining ingredients until thoroughly coated. Transfer to foil-lined baking sheet, in a single layer, without overcrowding the pieces.                                                      

  3. Roast about 40 minutes, rotating pan midway during baking. When edges are browned and cubes are fork-tender, remove from oven immediately. You may want to start checking squash around 35 minutes, just to ensure that they don’t become overcooked.
