There is a certain panache required to redefine the annual Thanksgiving meal, or any tradition, for that matter. It is about reflecting the true essence of the celebration.
Wow the chardonnay was a big surprise! I will want to keep this as reference if I ever get to host Thanksgiving again which is something I always did for family back East in Virginia. Here in California I'm usually the guest. I will have to pepper you with more questions, like what vessel do you use to marinate an entire turkey?!
Hello Helen, Good question, since we are not brining the Turkey or submerging it, but merely a small marinade of Chardonnay, to lend a little acidity to tenderize the bird, you can just pour it in the cavity and over the top of the bird in the roasting pan and refrigerate. Do try to to give it one or two turns, however, so that the juices are equally absorbed all around. Hope this helps. Thanks for reading!! Hope you had a great one!
