Grilled Halibut, Romaine and Tapenade Bundles

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium (about 375°).

  2. Cook lettuce leaves 2 or 3 at a time in a pot of boiling water until ribs are flexible, 2-3 minutes; as done, transfer to a bowl of ice water. Lay leaves flat with smooth sides up on kitchen towels and pat dry. Spread the 8 largest leaves with tapenade. Cut fish into 8 pieces; set 1 at base of each leaf. If leaf isn’t big enough to enclose fish, overlap leaf with another. Roll up each bundle from base, folding in sides. Brush bundles with oil.

  3. Grill, turning once until fish is just opaque. The fish is done when it reaches an internal temp of 145°F, about 8 minutes. Serve with lemon.

Ingredients

  • 12 very large Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 cup green olive tapenade
  • 1lb Halibut Filets (1inch thick)
  • New Leaf Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Fresh lemon juice or lemon wedges

Roasted Carrots with Maple Pistachio Carrot Top Pesto

Vegan

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with a rack in the center position.
  2. Trim the stems from the carrots, leaving roughly ¼-inch stem attached. Rinse and scrub the carrots. Slice in half lengthwise.
  3. Place the carrot halves on the sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Distribute the carrots evenly across the sheet pan.
  4. Roast the carrots, flipping them halfway through, until they are caramelized and just fork tender, roughly 18 to 24 minutes depending on the thickness of your carrots.
  5. Rinse and dry the carrot top greens to remove any grit and dirt. Pulse the pistachios and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Add the carrot stems, lemon juice, lemon zest, pinch of kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the olive oil, maple syrup and two tablespoons warm water and process until mostly smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Toss the still-warm roasted carrots with carrot-top pesto.

Turkey Roasting Instructions

Directions

For a 20lb Turkey

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. One hour prior to cooking, remove bird from refrigerator, and pat dry with paper towels if roasting a wet-brined. Tuck wings behind back.
  2. Scatter vegetables on the bottom of an open roasting pan. Place Turkey on top of the vegetables, breast side up.
  3. Mix pepper and herbs into the melted butter and brush herb butter all over the bird and under the skin of the breast.
  4. Place in preheated oven and roast approximately 15 minutes per pound. There is no need to turn the bird or baste it. In fact, the less you open the oven door the better.
  5. For delicious gravy, pour 2 cups of wine over the bird after 2 hours of roasting.
  6. The total roasting time should be approx. 3 ½ hours. Start testing for doneness after 3 hours. If the skin is getting too dark, place a piece of foil over the breast for the remainder of the cooking time. Cook until internal temperature of the bird at the thickest part of the thigh (avoid touching the bone) reaches 165°F. Remove bird from oven, place on platter and tent with foil. Let rest for 15 to 30 minutes before you begin carving the turkey.

Ingredients

  • One Instant-Read thermometer

  • One 20 pound Turkey, patted dry

  • 2 carrots, washed and cut into 1 inch pieces

  • 2 stalks of celery, washed and cut into 1 inch pieces

  • 2 yellow onions, peeled and sliced

  • 1 stick of butter melted

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 1 teaspoon ground sage

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon paprika
