This year, make your turkey really special
__________________________________________
The turkey is a centerpiece of the traditional Thanksgiving table. A roast turkey is often the main feature of this festive meal.
While turkey is a classic dish, you can update it with a new flavor. Applying a glaze is one way to add a different taste to your turkey.
Looking for a simple way to update your classic Thanksgiving turkey? A flavored glaze can surprise and delight your guests, offering an easy twist on the traditional centerpiece. This guide explores several options, including a gourmet truffle mustard glaze, a classic honey mustard glaze, and a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze.
Turkey with truffle mustard glaze
For a truly gourmet piece de la resistance, treat your free-range turkey – and your guests – to a wine and Perigord truffle glaze. It couldn’t be easier – simply open a jar of Black Truffle and Chablis White Wine Mustard fresh from the pump, dip in your basting brush and swoosh generously all over the skin. The earthy richness of the truffle combined with the natural sweetness of the wine will smell divine! Alternatively, if you fancy experimenting with pairing French truffle with your bird but not as a glaze, mix some into your stuffing for a surprise that everyone will love.
Roast turkey with honey mustard glaze
Young and old, keep your guests sweet with a classic honey-based glaze. All you need is a jar of Maille’s classic Honey Mustard.
Roast turkey with balsamic glaze
That’s right, balsamic vinegar isn’t just for pairing with olive oil and making delicious dressings. Open a jar of Honey and Balsamic Vinegar Mustard and you have a tantalizingly tangy ‘n’ sweet glaze ready to dress your whole turkey with. Another idea is to use the mustard to make a beautiful balsamic sauce and surprise the table with a moreish update on classic gravy.
While the turkey is a Thanksgiving classic, you can update it with a flavored twist by surprising your guests with an enriching and delicious turkey glaze. Whether you choose a gourmet truffle mustard glaze, a classic honey mustard glaze, or a tangy balsamic glaze, you can create a memorable centerpiece for your feast.
