Q: Twelve people, Christmas day, do you do a full big turkey or two crowns?
It's often better to do two crowns or have a butcher prepare it for you to make serving easier.
Squash, Chestnut and Spinach Pithivier with Black Garlic Gravy
Q: Should you brine your turkey? Do you brine your turkey?
Yes, brining can make the turkey juicy and flavorful, but it requires a lot of space. Alternatively, you can rub it with butter for a simpler method.
Spiced White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Clementine Jelly, Walnut and Apricot Biscotti
Q: How long should the turkey sit outside of the oven before serving?
An hour is good because you want it to rest and retain heat before slicing.
