Best Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe! 🦃🍋 If you’re making turkey this Thanksgiving, I highly recommend dry brining it a couple of days ahead! It makes such a difference in flavour and gives you that beautiful golden, crispy skin. 🦃 Lemon Garlic Herb Turkey (6.5 kg / 14 lb) Dry Brine: * 2½ tbsp Himalayan salt * 1 tbsp each garlic powder, black pepper & 7 spice * 1 tbsp each fresh rosemary, thyme & sage, chopped * Zest of 1 lemon Feel free to use your favourite seasonings or dried herbs instead! Compound Butter: * ½ cup unsalted butter, softened * Zest of 1 lemon * 3–5 garlic cloves, minced (or more!) * ½ tsp black pepper For Roasting: * Olive oil * Optional: onions, carrots, celery, lemons & fresh herbs Instructions: 1️⃣ Prep: Make sure your turkey is fully thawed and remove the giblets. Pat it VERY dry with paper towels, especially around the wings and legs. Removing moisture is key to crispy skin! 2️⃣ Dry brine: Mix all dry brine ingredients and rub all over the turkey, including underneath the skin where possible. 3️⃣ Refrigerate: Place on a rack over a tray and refrigerate uncovered for 24–48 hours. This helps dry out the skin even further! 4️⃣ Compound butter: Mix butter, lemon zest, garlic and pepper. Pat the turkey dry again wherever needed without removing the seasonings. Gently loosen the skin and spread the butter underneath and lightly over the outside. 5️⃣ Prepare to roast: Drizzle with olive oil. Optionally, add chopped vegetables, lemon and fresh herbs underneath the turkey for extra flavour. 6️⃣ Roast: Cook breast-side up at 425°F for 30 minutes, then reduce to 325°F until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) in the thickest part of the thigh, without touching bone. Check the breast as well. For a 6.5 kg turkey, allow approximately 3½–4½ hours total. If the skin browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil. 7️⃣ Rest: Let the turkey rest for 30–40 minutes before carving to keep it juicy! Crispy golden skin, juicy meat and so much flavour. Trust me, dry brining is worth the extra prep! 🤎 #homecook #cooking #turkey #thanksgiving #recipe
