Brigitte and Ricardo enjoy turkey a lot of different ways in December. For this dinner party, Ricardo broke the bird up (two breasts and two legs and thighs to please white- and dark-meat lovers alike), which seriously reduced the cooking time. To get some boreal notes in there, we chose aromatics like juniper berries and gin for the brine (you can taste a hint of the spirit in the pearl onion sauce). The result is a super-moist turkey that’s a cinch to serve.
