Spiced and Superjuicy Roast Turkey
For me the only turkey is a brined one. Not only does it tenderize and add subtle spiciness, but it makes carving the turkey incredibly much easier. You have only to try this method to be utterly convinced. And I mean to say: how hard is it to fill a pan or large plastic bin or bucket with water and spices and lower a turkey into it? At this time of year, it’s fine just to leave it in a very cold place. Before I had a garden, I put mine by an open window in the kitchen. It does mean everyone freezes, but who am I going to put first — my turkey or my family? Out in the garden if you’re lucky enough to have one would also be fine, though the pan must be securely covered: if I’ve got a bucket or bin out in the open, I cover it twice with foil and then put my son’s skateboard on top to prevent foxy foraging. And, though you might find it hard to believe sight unseen, a raw turkey covered in brine — with its oranges, cinnamon sticks, and scattering of spices — looks so beautiful as it steeps that I can never help lifting the lid for quick, blissfully reassuring peeks. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding.
Creamy Potato Gratin
My not entirely orthodox way of turning out this otherwise classic dish of cream-softened potatoes has a lot going for it.
