There is no tofu-turkey here. I'm all about the meat this year :) I've never even tried the tofo-tukey, but I love turkey so I wouldn't ever....Ha Dry Brine Roasted Broad breasted White Turkey (pretty sure I want to do this one) For dry brining; 1 whole fresh or thawed frozen turkey (half day to unthaw). Mine will be white and brown meat, because I like brown too :) coarse salt and ground pepper 2 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme for roasting: 3/4 cup finely chopped fresh sage, plus 6 sprigs 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme, 12 sprigs 4 tablespoons unsalted organic butter, softened 3 dried bay leaves 2 tart granny smith apples, 1/2 inch thick (cores reserved) 1 onion, quartered 2 celery sticks, sliced crosswise into 1 inch pieces (i have diced) 2 cups water, plus more if needed 1. Dry-brine the turkey: one day before toasting, rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels. Mix together 1/2 cup salt and the chopped thyme, and season with salt and pepper.

This year I will be making the whole turkey dinner myself. I'm super excited and I have used a few recipes from my favorite food stars: Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, and of coarse the Neely's along with some help from Trader Joes. Each year I will make adjustments, eliminations, and changes to improve the recipes as I feel/need. I enjoy cooking way to much, but this is definitely the MOST I've ever done. I always cook the food and then post it, but this time I want everything at my finger tips and don't to flip through magazines and articles, and helps with shopping...
