When it comes to cooking a turkey, I like to mix it up each year. If you do, as well, take a peek at these yummy recipes. They are quite unique. And for good measure I have added a few "must have" turkey tools. Always remember to add a pinch of love to whichever recipe you choose.
Herb & Butter Turkey
Tieghan calls this recipe perfection. It's simple. The only thing "fancy" about it is the use of a cheesecloth. I have used this method several times, and it works.
Turkey Forks
Something I don't have in my kitchen. If you cook many roasts or turkeys, you need these.
Bacon Wrapped Turkey With Mustard & Tarragon Butter
First of all, the recipe calls for free range or organic turkey. I personally wouldn't eat any other kind of turkey. It's beautiful to look at, and I imagine quite juicy.
Digital Instant-Read Pen Thermometer
A necessary tool for turkey roasting! Best yet, this is on sale now at
What an interesting recipe. You will need some unusual equipment, too: A spice mill or a mortar and pestle; a chimney starter and smoking chips. Here's hoping for a good weather day.
Bourbon Glazed Turkey
I have done this, and it is so so good. Add another splash to the gravy and you have one special meal. The color of your bird will never look better.
