There’s no Thanksgiving dinner without turkey, so you’re in luck—we’ve gathered Paula’s best Thanksgiving turkey recipes! Nothing beats a perfectly cooked turkey, and with so many recipes out there, it’s hard to know where to start. That’s why it’s important to find a recipe you can trust from a cook you can trust (*ahem* like Paula Deen).
Now, if you’re all about tradition, you can’t go wrong with a good ol’ Simple Roast Turkey recipe. It’s golden, juicy, and just waiting for some cornbread dressing and gravy. But if you’re looking to shake things up this year, how about trying a non-traditional turkey recipe, like Paula’s Rum-Glazed Turkey or even a Roasted Turkey with a Maple-Cranberry Glaze? They both feature a rich, sweet finish that’ll have folks going back for seconds… and thirds.
Feeling adventurous? If you’ve never had Deep-Fried Turkey, you just don’t know what you’re missing! It’s crispy, flavorful, and cooks up faster than you can say “bless your heart.” Just be sure to read these helpful tips before diving into deep-frying!
Lastly, if you’re cooking for a smaller crowd, a Stuffed Turkey Breast is just the ticket—easy to serve, mighty impressive, and you won’t be drowning in turkey sandwiches for weeks.
No matter which way you carve it, there’s a Thanksgiving turkey recipe for every table and every taste. We’ve got plenty more options to try—be sure to check ‘em all out below. So warm up that oven (or fryer) and let’s give thanks the most delicious way we know how!
