Holiday Gatherings Recipes

It’s almost turkey time! As families, friends and loved ones come together at the table, this week’s box is filled with farm-fresh provisions to make all your holiday entertaining a breeze—everything from our signature turkey brining kit to a wealth of produce that includes winter squash, leeks, Huckleberry gold and sweet potatoes, plus other holiday helpers like freshly-baked sourdough bread and Stollen loaf, eggs from our heritage breed hens, freshly-milled organic flour, fragrant herbs, organic greens, and apple-pear cider. Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

How-To: Brine Your Thanksgiving Turkey
Soaking a turkey overnight in a solution of salt and water ensures a moist, juicy interior; beautiful aromatics infuse it with flavor.

Spinach Salad with Apples, Blue Cheese & Pecans
This fresh salad combines gorgeous spinach and crisp apple slices and is finished with a light Champagne apple cider vinaigrette.

Potatoes à la Robuchon
Of all the haute cuisine in legendary chef Joël Robuchon’s repertoire, he was best known for these super-silky potatoes.

Parmesan-Crusted Winter Squash
This versatile recipe works with any number of squash—Autumn Frost, Butternut, Acorn or this week’s mini Delicata.

Italian Parsley-Caper Vinaigrette
This adaptation of the pungent vinaigrette from Joshua McFadden’s Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables is magical drizzled over roasted fall vegetables!

Frizzled Leeks
These crispy leeks are a wonderful garnish for salads, soups or roasted vegetables.
