This California Turkey Recipe Tastes Like Sunshine

in #recipes6 years ago

When I originally moved to San Francisco, I worked the line at Greens Restaurant and slashed up huge amounts of gremolata every day. The Italian salsa fixing joins Meyer lemon get-up-and-go, new parsley, and garlic, and that trio is everlastingly imbued in my memory as fragrances I connect with California. I pondered what it would have an aftertaste like as compound spread slathered everywhere on a turkey, so I explored different avenues regarding it a year ago at my family's Thanksgiving. The turkey tasted simply like California daylight! When the turkey is heated, I generally utilize the drippings to make a simple container sauce, including much to a greater degree a Californian touch with the sprinkle of Sonoma Chardonnay. Cheers to cooking Thanksgiving supper easily!
