INGREDIENTS
For the brine
4 L water
200 g salt
150 g brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 sliced orange
1 sprig thyme
For the turkey
1 whole turkey (4–6 kg)
150 g softened butter
1 tbsp smoked paprika (Texas BBQ style)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried herbs (thyme/rosemary or herbes de Provence)
For the New England stuffing
200 g cornbread, cut into cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
100 g dried cranberries
1 apple, diced
1 tbsp butter
Salt, pepper, sage
For the “Northern Maple” glaze
4 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp melted butter
PREPARATION
1. Brining (12 hours)
Bring all brine ingredients to a boil.
Let cool completely.
Submerge the turkey in the brine (or baste regularly if not fully covered).
2. “Patriot BBQ” butter rub
Mix the softened butter with paprika, garlic, onion, mustard, pepper, herbs, and salt.
Gently lift the skin of the turkey and spread some of the butter underneath for extra juiciness.
Rub the remaining butter all over the skin.
3. New England stuffing
Sauté onions and celery in butter.
Add cornbread, cranberries, and diced apple.
Season with sage, salt, and pepper.
Lightly fill the turkey cavity (don’t pack too tightly).
4. Cooking
Preheat oven to 165°C / 330°F.
Place the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan.
Cook for about 45 minutes per kg (roughly 20 minutes per pound).
Baste occasionally.
🕒 For a 5 kg turkey → about 3h45
5. Maple glaze (final touch)
Mix maple syrup, melted butter, and cider vinegar.
Brush the turkey 30 minutes before cooking ends.
It gives a shiny, golden, slightly sweet finish.
6. Resting
Let the turkey rest 20–30 minutes before carving.

For a fun, festive touch:

Finish with a final drizzle of warm maple syrup for shine.
