"from Alton Brown's show. Brining the bird is the key to moist meat. Made this again this year, only brined in just water instead of stock to save some dough. Again, the bird turned out perfect. Growing up, I hated white meat because it was always dry and grinding on your teeth ;-), now I love white meat. Cook time includes the brining time."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, ice water...

"Allow 12 - 18 hours for the turkey to marinate in the brine. It's worth the wait as this process always assures a moist, flavorful turkey."

Ingredients: fresh coarse ground black pepper, fresh thyme...

"I make this every year for our turkey! It is so potent when you've first ground it, but don't worry, since once it's cooked you're left with a wonderfully spiced turkey (but nothing unusually flavored). People will not be able to pick out the spices, but will comment how great the turkey tastes. It makes the best gravy. It is so dark..."

Ingredients: coriander seeds, fennel seeds...

"When I eat roast turkey, I want a basic recipe, no special herbs or brines. Slow roasted straight up, browned to perfection. Just the way Grandma used to do it when I was a little girl. I begin the stuffing preparation the night before. Don't let the long instructions scare you off, I explained each step for beginner cooks."

Ingredients: margarine, onions...

"We have had this for Thanksgiving every year since 2001, after seeing chef Todd English make this on a Martha Stewart show. Each slice has some dark and some white meat, as well as the tasty stuffing. The rolled turkey slices wonderfully making perfect sandwiches if any leftovers survive until the next day… We love it! And, balancing the effort..."

Ingredients: Dijon mustard, dried breadcrumbs...

"Another great recipe from Mark Bittman.
It’s almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split, flattened, and roasted at 450°F (lowering the heat if the bird browns too fast), a 10-pound bird will be done in about 40 minutes. Really...."

Ingredients: salt & freshly ground black pepper, extra virgin olive oil...

"made 2 roast ducks, roast leg of lamb and a roast turkey for Christmas dinner. I have posted a recipe already for roast lamb so I thought I would post one for turkey and one for duck. I know you probably can't think of food now, but I thought I would post these for next year or other special occasions throughout the year. I only bought a 2.5kg..."
