So, there are so many ways to do a turkey, but this way is very good and very flavourful. It takes a little work ahead of time, but it pays off in its moistness and good taste.
This recipe uses two secret weapons: the dry-brine and the compound butter. If you don’t have time to dry-brine it, you can just use the compound butter and it will still taste great.
Entree
Poultry
Turkey
Porcini BBQ Genie
1 Turkey
1 TBS Kosher Salt
1/2 TBS Big Cove Foods Porcini BBQ Genie Spice Blend
1 small shallot, minced
1 small garlic, minced
1 TBS Big Cove Foods Porcini BBQ Genie Spice Blend
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Sherry vinegar
Mix together the dry-brine.
Pat the turkey dry with paper towel and remove giblets and neck. You can use those for other parts of your meal.
Using your hands, loosen the skin over the breast and leg without tearing the skin.
Season the cavity, the meat under the skin and the skin.
Place the turkey on a cooking sheet with a wire rack and place it in the fridge uncovered.
Take a nap, you deserve it!
Take out the unsalted butter and put it in a bowl to allow it to get to room temperature.
Add all the other ingredients for the butter and mash them together until well blended.
Put the butter in the fridge for at least an hour, so it can firm up and all the flavours can mingle.
Preheat the oven to 500°F.
Spread the compound butter all over the turkey. Under the skin, on top of the skin, if you have some left put it on the inside.
Put the turkey in the oven and lower the heat to 325°F. Roughly 15 minutes per lb, but the best way to make sure it is done is to use and instant-read thermometer. The deepest part of the breast should read 150°F, and the legs should register at least 165°F.
Take the turkey out of the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Eat the turkey and maybe take another nap.
Should be in more stores, Superstore, Sobeys are missing a bet here.
There are meals that I cook with it
That I like
Very much.
Miam!
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.
Love, love, love Big Cove Foods spice blends.
They have amazing combinations for all kinds of flavours!
We used this combo to try out blends new to us and we've enjoyed every one so far!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.
Sent an assortment to Yellowknife for a birthday gift. Getting happy reports back. I knew I would.
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
