Try a Roast Turkey with Artichoke and Asiago Dressing this Christmas!
With the holiday season around the corner, many of us are beginning to make plans for the upcoming festive get-togethers and at the heart of every celebration is of course, the food!
This holiday season, think turkey to make delicious food that is healthy and easy to prepare and is sure to wow your guests! Making memories over a festive meal with family and friends is the greatest way to celebrate the season.
A classic roast turkey with all the trimmings will steal the show at any festive gathering. Turkey is such a versatile choice, pairing well with many different flavour profiles, spice blends, seasonings, stuffing and glazes. Packed with lean protein and great flavour, turkey makes the perfect centerpiece for your celebration meal!
Feeling creative? Try to customize your favorite turkey recipe with different flavours and methods to create a dish your crowd will love, or feel free to experiment with a brand new recipe. Here are some pro-tips for making your next turkey your own:
- Experiment with different brining and marinating flavors – get creative with your own family favorites!
- Use a glaze to baste your bird throughout the roasting process to add a different flavor finish – think maple, cranberry, jalapeno, paprika or bourbon, for example.
- Create your own rub of family-favorite spices for a unique signature style.
- Stuff your turkey with a different selection of aromatics to customize and infuse flavor while cooking – shallots and thyme, apples and sage, or onions and rosemary are all a great place to start!
- Create spiced and flavored butters or oils to rub underneath the skin and add a major flavor boost while cooking.
