Thank you Noreen!!
]]>It was created for a ~12 lb turkey. If your turkey is over 20 lbs, double the below recipe. And always feel free to add an extra spoonful of honey :~)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Brine: Make sure turkey is clean (no neck or innards) and thawed. Tie thyme, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaves, and sage in a cheesecloth pouch. Place in a large pot with 1 gallon of water, salt, wine, honey, and juniper berries.
Stir on high until it comes to a boil then turn off heat and let the mixture rest for ~20 mins. Then add 1 gallon ice water to cool the mixture. It’s important that the mixture is cold (<50°F) before you put the turkey in it.
Place turkey and brine in brining bag and tie closed. Marinate for 18-24 hours in fridge/cooler/bucket. Make sure the turkey is kept as cold as possible without being frozen. If your turkey is too big for your fridge, a cooler or bucket filled with ice water will do just fine.
Roast: Preheat oven to 450°F. Take turkey out of brine and rinse with cool water (can toss the brine at this point). Place on shallow rack in a roasting pan and drizzle with oil (avocado works best).
Cover loosely with aluminum foil, making sure not to press it into the skin. Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F. Cook until the thickest part of the turkey reaches 165° (About 3-4 hours for a ~12 pound turkey and 4-5 hours for a ~20 pound turkey)
Let rest for 20 min before carving and enjoy!
Thanks Terrie H. for the best turkey ever!
]]>1 1/2 cups local honey
Coconut oil (or any cooking spray)
Salt (optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
Chile flakes (optional)
Lavender (optional)
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and coat lightly in oil or cooking spray.
Place honey in a saucepan, cook on medium-low uncovered until honey starts to boil. Heat honey until it reaches 280 degrees, preferably using a candy thermometer (takes about 10 minutes). Quickly pour honey onto prepared ban and spread evenly. Let honey cool for about 20 minutes.
Lightly oil hands or wear latex gloves coated in oil. Fold the honey over itself making a ball. Stretch honey into long strands and fold back onto itself repeatedly, until it changes into a lighter, tan color (about 5 minutes of folding). Chill 10 minutes.
Coat a knife with oil or cooking spray and cut taffy into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log about a foot long. Cut each log into smaller pieces and sprinkle with flavoring of your choice.
Wrap each taffy in a piece of confectionary paper or wax paper and enjoy!
