Now when I think turkey I think nice rich mashed potatoes, turkey that’s been basted in its own juices and a flavor compliments the other accoutrements. Like that wonderful stuffing with sausages and celery. What I don’t think of is a turkey made to emulate eating a hot dog. But I don’t have to because Reynold’s Wrap has done it for me. And lucky for all, they’ve released their recipes online.
Reynold’s has three different recipes such as the “Chicago Style” and the “New York” style.
The Chicago-Style Turkey Dog
The Chicago-style turkey dog is a mustard-lover’s dream. This turkey gets its unique yellow color after being rubbed with a combination of celery salt and ground mustard and glazed in yellow mustard. Cooked under a tent of sturdy Reynold’s Wrap heavy duty foil, the finished bird is basted in a fresh coat of the mustard glaze before being served over a bed of pickle spears, chopped onions, sport peppers and tomato slices. Hold the ketchup.
The New York-Style Turkey Dog
The New York-style turkey dog packs some serious flavor with a zesty onion powder rub. This recipe is for the ketchup fans, with a bright-red glaze made from the classic condiment. Cook to perfection with Reynold’s Wrap heavy duty foil and top with sauerkraut, homemade onion sauce and spicy brown mustard for a New York touch.
The Chili Cheese Turkey Dog
The chili cheese turkey dog takes its inspiration from one of the nation’s most indulgent hot dog styles. Coat the bird in a chili powder rub that’s full of flavor and bold spices and wrap it in Reynold’s Wrap heavy duty foil for an evenly cooked and juicy turkey. Top the finished bird with shredded cheese, onions and sliced jalapeños for that classic chili cheese dog flavor.
You can find the recipes for these unique Thanksgiving turkeys here. I’m actually kind of interested but then again, maybe I’m just hungry.
