The Juiciest Young Turkey Ever https://dennisfoodservice.com/the-juiciest-young-turkey-ever/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-juiciest-young-turkey-ever Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:01:26 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=3114213 “Variety is the spice of life, that gives it all its flavor”….So spice it up with some Cajun seasonings

After butter-brushing a young turkey, sprinkle brown sugar, cajun spice, thyme, and oregano on top, to not only add more flavor but also transform the meal into a southern-style adaptation.

Choosing a young turkey means you get tender, juicy meat with a shorter cooking time. It’s a practical choice for a flavorful and efficient cooking experience, delivering a succulent outcome without compromising on convenience.

Ingredients 
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons ground oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 (8 to 12-pound) turkey
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions
  1. Combine brown sugar, Cajun seasoning, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder in a small bowl
  2. Rub turkey with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar mixture.
  3. Place turkey in a v-rack, upside down, over a roasting pan. Cooking your turkey upside down makes for a juicy, tender turkey.
  4. Heat oven to 325°F.
  5. Remove neck and giblets. These may be used to prepare gravy or stuffing. The plastic leg clamp may be left on during cooking
  6. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow pan, breast side up, and loosely cover with foil. Roast at 325°F. for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Remove foil after 1 hour of cooking. Continue to roast at 325°F. until the meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180°F. Juices should run clear. Always confirm doneness with a meat thermometer.
  8. Let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving. For optimal safety cook stuffing and turkey separately. If desired, add fully cooked stuffing to the cooked turkey just prior to serving.

Chef’s Spice Rack: Jamaican Jerk Seasoning https://dennisfoodservice.com/jamaican-jerk-seasoning/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jamaican-jerk-seasoning Tue, 24 Nov 2020 19:39:28 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=260344 When your dish needs an infusion of island life reach into your spice rack and take a palate-cation… courtesy of Jamaican Jerk Spice.

Jerk cooking (also known as jerking) is native to the island of Jamaica. Whether it be dry rubbing or wet marinating – proteins are slow smoked, roasted or grilled in a specific blend of spices. Jerk spice refers to this traditional mixture. Typical Jamaican Jerk Spice is a mixture of All Spice, Garlic, Onion, Sugar and Chili Peppers; together they create a distinct fragrant flavor with a chili pepper after punch.

Jamaican Jerk Seasoning #22145

A few suggestions…

  • Perfect addition to dry rubs, wet rubs, brines & marinades
  • Makes a great glaze for lamb
  • Coat your duck legs with Jamaican Jerk Spice before roasting
  • Mix with honey, white wine and scallions for a sweet and sassy “island style” chicken wing
  • Great seasoning for a black bean salad
  • Add a healthy pinch to your onion/vegetable brine
  • Create a unique Aioli for a pulled pork sandwich, or use as a taco dressing

Shishito Peppers Appetizer Idea https://dennisfoodservice.com/shishito-peppers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=shishito-peppers Mon, 05 Oct 2020 16:41:52 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=210765 Holy Shi…shito that’s good!

Shishito peppers are a small Japanese (Eastern Asia) heirloom variety of pepper that are becoming more of a mainstream offering for both pub fare and fine dining platforms. Finger-like in size, mildly spicy with bitter after tones, they are cost effective and offer a quick cook; characteristics that add to their allure. They are suitable for many of the same cooking applications as Brussels sprouts which is why I refer to Shishitos as “the new Brussels sprout.”

Try for yourself, and you too will be saying “Holy Shi…shito that’s good!”

Chef’s Spice Rack: Saffron https://dennisfoodservice.com/saffron/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=saffron Wed, 26 Feb 2020 20:02:09 +0000 https://dennisfoodservice.com/?p=18021 Saffron, the king of spices.

Saffron is the red stigma from a crocus flower, sometimes referred to as the saffron crocus.

When taken into consideration that each tread of saffron is delicately collected from each flower by hand, and that every ounce contains thousands of treads; your perspective and appreciation for this spice is sure to grow.

Saffron is prized for many culinary applications, to include paella, bouillabaisse and other fish stews. It is also used as a natural food coloring and adds a golden-orange color to your preparations.

Ultimately, saffron boasts a mildly sweet flavor profile unlike anything else so it becomes difficult to conjure flavor comparisons. Let’s just say its worth the price tag and a small pinch goes a long way.

Saffron is item #2192
