Instructions

  1. 1 Combine broth, salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, and savory in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until salt dissolves; let cool to room temperature. Pour into a food-grade 5-gallon bucket. Stir in ice water.
  2. 2 Pat turkey dry; remove giblets from cavity. Place turkey, breast-side down, into brine, making sure cavity fills. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  3. 3 Drain off and discard excess brine; pat turkey dry. Cook turkey as desired, reserving drippings for gravy. Note that brined turkeys often cook 20 to 30 minutes faster; start checking for doneness early.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one baking sheet and one 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2 Bake the butter squash on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, in the preheated oven until tender, about 50 minutes.
  3. 3 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  4. 4 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  5. 5 Beat eggs and egg whites lightly in a large bowl. Stir in the noodles and onion. Scoop the flesh from the butternut squash into the noodle mixture. Season with rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Pour mixture into the prepared 9x12-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place ground pork, onion, garlic, sage, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, coriander, thyme, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide mixture in half and place each half on a length of plastic wrap. Use your damp fingers to shape each half into a cylinder, approximately the same length as the puff pastry. Roll up in the plastic wrap and form into a round roll. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. 2 Whisk egg with water to make an egg wash.
  3. 3 Separate semi-frozen puff pastry dough into thirds. Halve one of the thirds lengthwise. Bring pastry to room temperature. Brush a 2-inch strip of egg wash along 1 long edge of the 2 larger pastry pieces. Place narrower pieces on the egg wash strip, overlapping about 1 inch, to make a wider piece of pastry dough. Press lightly to form 2 wide lengths of pastry dough.
  4. 4 Transfer 2 sheets of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper; dust tops lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment. Roll gently to achieve an even thickness. Remove top sheet of parchment. Flatten the long edges of the dough slightly about 1 inch wide so that when the roll-up is completed, the seam side won't be thicker than the rest of the dough. Place a sausage log at the end of a pastry sheet. Begin to roll the sausage log in the pastry, brushing the far edge with egg wash before sealing the edges together. Place seam side down on parchment and place on a dish. Repeat with 2nd sausage roll. Freeze until dough firms up, about 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  6. 6 Place rolls on a lightly floured surface. Lightly brush top and sides with egg wash. Cut each roll into 8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on prepared baking sheet seam-side down (standing up). Lightly press each roll to flatten it slightly so they don't fall over when baking.
  7. 7 Place in preheated oven; bake until nicely browned, pastry is cooked through, and bottoms are browned, about 30 minutes.
