• Pull bird out of brine and rinse extremely well. Pat dry and rub canola oil all over and inside the bird and season with black pepper. Place turkey into the hot roasting pan and return to the oven. Let brown on top, about 20 to 30 minutes. Place foil on top of the bird and reduce oven to 325 degrees. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until juices run clear after puncturing between leg and breast. Let bird rest 10 minutes before slicing.

TURKEY WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS IN WHITE WINE SAUSE

Steps:

• 1. Saute mushrooms in 2T butter in a large pan (the pan you intend to simmer everything in later). 2. Right before mushrooms are finished, add leeks and quickly saute until moderately caramelized. Remove them from the pan. 3. While sauteing mushrooms, melt the rest of the butter in a small sauce pan. Add enough flour to have a thick roux base. Add white wine, half and half, and milk slowly until it makes a white sauce. The amounts I gave above are approximate. 4. Brown the turkey in a little butter in the large pan. Add the leeks and mushrooms back in. Pour the sauce over all of it. Add salt and pepper to taste. 5. Simmer for 30-45 min until turkey is done.

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the black pepper. Finely grate, pass through a press or mince 2 garlic cloves. Set aside half the grated garlic for finishing the dish. Rub the rest all over the chicken pieces. Set aside the chicken while preparing the other ingredients.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter melts, add chicken in batches and cook until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If the pan dries out, add a little more oil as needed. Transfer browned chicken to a plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon each oil and butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add mushrooms and cook undisturbed until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in sliced garlic, leeks and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender and golden brown, 7 minutes. Add rosemary and wine to the pot and let simmer, scraping up the browned bits, until liquid reduces by half, about 1 minute.
• Nestle chicken, skin side up, into the pan and pour in any accumulated juices from the plate. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Pluck the rosemary sprigs from the pot. If the sauce looks thin, turn the heat to medium-high and let simmer until it thickens slightly, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining grated garlic, the crème fraîche, chives and lemon zest. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Spoon sauce over the chicken and top with parsley, more lemon zest and a dollop of crème fraîche, if you like, and serve.
