In time for America’s biggest holiday, Thanksgiving, Loaves and Dishes is releasing a recipe for fresh roasted turkey.

—
Lead Chef and founder of Loaves and Dishes, Wendi Spraker, believes that no Thanksgiving celebration is complete without the signature turkey - and for her new recipe, she took inspiration from chefs Alton Brown and Anne Burrell. Chef Wendi’s eight-step fresh roasted turkey recipe starts with a brine two days before the holiday and finishes with a bake the night of the dinner.

To begin, Wendi emphasizes the importance of purchasing a fresh turkey as a foundation for the dish, meaning a bird bought at a farmer’s market or local farm instead of one purchased from the grocery store. “A fresh turkey that costs more than a store-bought one is worth the price difference due to its much better taste,” adds Chef Wendi.
Her original brine mix consists of chicken stock, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaves - and according to Wendi, placing the bird in this solution for 24 hours will lead to a more tender and flavorful turkey. For the classic golden brown turkey look, Wendi says she recommends applying butter on the Wednesday before the big holiday.
“Once the butter is applied, the turkey should be left uncovered in the fridge overnight,” explains Wendi. “On Thanksgiving day, I recommend adding salt, pepper, aromatics, and stock before baking,” she adds.
In addition to her original roasted turkey recipe, Chef Wendi Spraker has published cooking guides for appetizers, breakfasts, main dishes, sides, and desserts like its Steakhouse Potato Salad and Blackberry Wine Cake. Wendi has been cooking Southern comfort food for the better part of four decades - and her status as a regional culinary expert has led to multiple features in tourism guides.
“I believe that food made with love and passion has power. It can bring people together and carry them home,” says Wendi.
