7 Dishes for a Mediterranean Thanksgiving - TURKEY
Ingredients
  • subheading: Recipe:
  • A 10- to 12-pound turkey.
  • A quarter-cup of fresh herbs, like thyme, rosemary, sage and oregano.
  • 2 tablespoons of canola oil, olive oil or grapeseed oil.
  • 1 teaspoon each of salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • 3 cups of water (or stock), more if necessary.
  • 1 ½ cups of sliced onion, apple, lemon or orange, cut into two-inch pieces.
  •  
  • Mix minced herbs, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey, under the skin and onto the breast meat. Place onions, apples, lemon or orange and half the herb into the cavity. Add 3 cups of water and any remaining herbs in the pan. Roast the turkey as directed.
  • subheading: Heart-healthy gravy:
  • For a Mediterranean-friendly alternative to traditional gravy, use one that’s made with olive oil or canola oil instead of butter, Herrington says. The alternative gravy will be tasty and healthier for your ticker.
  • subheading: Recipe:
  • 1 cup of turkey drippings from the pan.
  • 4 cups of unsalted stock chicken or turkey.
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced.
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh sage, finely chopped.
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme leaves.
  • 1 cup skim or reduced-fat milk, or a non-dairy alternative.
  • ¼ cup of whole wheat flour, or gluten-free flour.
