The best Christmas turkey ever!

Already eaten in a few seconds. No time for the photograph.

Yesterday we had a pre-Christmas celebration with family and friends and ate a succulent turkey! After eating too many dry turkeys in our lives, we arrived to a unique recipe that we would like to share with you. You will get a tasty, aromatic and very moist turkey! Since there will be lots of remaining juices, note that this recipe is more suitable for a served dinner than a buffet. Unfortunately, we did not have time to take a photo before the leftovers, but here is the recipe for our Super Moist Turkey:

 

Preparation time: 25 minutes      Marinating time: 3 hours     Cooking time: 5 hours

Ingredients :

  • 1 turkey for 8 people
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 3 tbsp dry fine herbs
  • 8 twigs of fresh rosemary
  • 20 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 bottle of white wine (a Pinot Griggio is nice)

Cleaning the turkey

Cleaning thoroughly the turkey and removing its skin is crucial to obtain a tasty flavour. Put the turkey directly in a very clean sink. Remove the giblets and discard (unless you want to cook them apart). Pour abundant cold water and rinse the turkey all over, especially the internal cavity. Remove the skin from the breast and legs. Pour again cold water and rinse all over removing any remaining skin except the wings. Repeat the process once more and drain.

Cooking the turkey

Rub the turkey with salt and pepper all over including the internal cavity. Cover all over with the dry fine herbs. Put the fresh rosemary and sage leaves in the internal cavity.  Place the turkey breast up in a roasting pan.  Add the onions and the whole bottle of white wine. Cover, put in the fridge and marinate for three hours.

Preheat the oven at 285oF and cook covered for 5 hours. Serve and keep the rest over for a brilliant galantine.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

Feb 16, 2025

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

Oct 14, 2018

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
