"The dinner of your dreams is now within reach thanks to The Perfect Turkey. Foolproof instructions on thawing, trussing, cooking, and carving a turkey free the bird from its holiday cage and allow you to enjoy it all year long. Whether you take the conventional route and roast it in an oven or spend all day tending the smoker, a variety of brines and rubs gurantees that your turkey starts from a flavor-packed foundation. Since a turkey dinner is only as good as what you place beside it, you'll also find plenty of options that bring out the best in your bird, from traditional accompaniements like giblet gravy to inventive preparations like challah, sauteed onion, and goat cheese stuffing"--Page [4] of cover.

Notes

Chef Keith Sarasin's love for food was developed at a young age when he would cook for his mother using old cookbooks that were given to him by his grandmother. He began his culinary career at the age of 15, working at a local sub shop washing dishes and making sandwiches. As the years went on he worked his way up through the restaurant ranks, from Sous Chef to Executive Chef. Sarasin was a private chef before founding The Farmers Dinner in 2012.
