Turkey A

[magid]

I’d signed up for two meal deliveries this weekend, and Trader Joe’s got their kosher turkeys in yesterday, so I decided it would be easiest for me to cook a turkey this weekend.

1 13-pound turkey became:

• 2 trays with a turkey breast and a drumstick each, topped with peach chutney, slow baked over diced sweet potatoes* and chickpeas
  
• 1 tray of turkey thighs and tail, topped with Shepherd Herb Mix, slow baked over minced onion*, bits of sourdough bread, and a bit of sage* salt
  
• 1 tray of turkey wings, topped with Xinjian Spice Mix, slow baked over minced onion*, sliced carrots*, diced golden beets*, and the end of the peach chutney
  
• 1 pot of turkey soup, using the frame and the neck, also leeks*, carrots*, sweet potato*, and purple-top turnips*
  
• 1 pan of turkey gribenes, some put away for later, the rest sauted with onion*, spinach*, potato, and the bits of turkey left from a rather imperfect carving job on a not-fully-defrosted bird

* locally sourced

(“tray” here means 9x13 foil pan)
