Dinner Recipe: A Simply Perfect Roast Turkey
Servings: 24
allrecipes ~ Step by Step
Nothing screams "Christmas" quite like a picturesque roast turkey worthy of a Norman Rockwell painting. Believe it or not, an impossibly gorgeous holiday table of your dreams is within reach — learn exactly how to roast a turkey with this easy recipe.
Recipe by: Syd
-
Ingredients:
- 1 (18 pound) whole turkey
- 8 cups prepared stuffing
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ quarts turkey stock, divided
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a rack in the lowest position of the oven.
- Remove turkey neck and giblets. Rinse turkey and pat dry with paper towels, and place breast-side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Loosely fill turkey cavity with stuffing. Rub skin with butter, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour 2 cups of turkey stock into the roasting pan.
- Loosely tent turkey with aluminum foil, and roast turkey for 2 ½ hours, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes. When drippings evaporate, add remaining stock to the pan, 1 to 2 cups at a time.
- Remove foil and continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 1 ½ hours more.
- Transfer turkey to a large serving platter. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
- Serve and enjoy!

Dessert Recipe: Easy Spritz Cookies Are The Ultimate Holiday Tradition
Servings: 6 dozen
The Pioneer Woman ~ Step by Step
Originating in Germany and Scandinavia in the 16th century, Spritz cookies are crumbly, simple, and iconic in homemade Christmas cookie boxes down South.
A holiday favorite, spritz cookies are buttery and simple. These iconic cookies are extruded from a cookie press, then topped with sanding sugar for some shine.
Recipe by: Micah A Leal
-
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 oz.) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (about 9 5/8 oz.) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- Sanding sugar
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until lightened, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolks, almond extract, and vanilla. Beat until well incorporated, about 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour and salt.
- Add to butter mixture, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Chill, covered, until set and cold, about 30 minutes.
- Press cookies and add sanding sugar:
- Add enough of the dough to fill a cookie press fitted with desired pattern attachment. Press cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet (light-colored aluminum baking sheets are preferred over dark metal baking sheets). Repeat process with remaining dough. Sprinkle cookies evenly with sanding sugar. Bake Cookies:
- Bake in preheated oven, rotating halfway through cook time, until cookies are barely brown and maintain an off-white color, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
