All of my turkey recipes in one place! It’s that time of year when the families start gathering and the food is plentiful! I dare say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Not all of the stress of some of the other holidays, and definitely more food! I mean… the entire holiday is centered around a meal. And at the center of that meal?? The TURKEY! I’ve been a designated turkey recipe provider for years now, and I am sharing all I know with you! Let’s make this the Thanksgiving everybody talks about years later.

Spatchcocked Turkey
Spatchcocking is all the rage right now, and for great reason! More even cooking between the breasts and thighs means a juicier turkey all around. This recipe uses an herbed butter under the skin for traditional Thanksgiving flavors with extra crunchy skin!

Gear & Gadgets for Perfect Turkeys
Toss out that pop-up button timer (they never work right anyways) and get an accurate thermometer. Check your turkey in 4 different points (both breasts and both thighs) without touching to bone to make sure you get a correct temperature reading.
I love my Thermoworks ThermoPop ($29, shown above) and my Thermoworks MK4 ($99). Both provide an accurate, digital readout, are available in a variety of colors and travel easily if you’re taking Thanksgiving on the road this year.
