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 the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Combine kosher salt, caraway, sage, fennel, coriander, and rosemary in a spice grinder or mortar. Grind to a coarse powder. Transfer spice mixture to a bowl; stir in paprika, garlic powder, flour, and onion powder. Mix in vegetable oil to make a smooth paste.
  3. 3 Pat chicken halves dry with paper towels and tuck wing tips behind the back. Brush spice paste onto chicken halves, coating all sides and seasoning under wings and legs. Place chicken halves, skin-sides up, in a baking dish or roasting pan, leaving space around chickens so halves aren't touching.
  4. 4 Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  1. 1 Cut pork and veal into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. 2 Rinse salt off fatback thoroughly, then soak in warm water for 20 minutes. Remove.
  3. 3 Toss pork, veal, fatback, sage, garlic powder, salt, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, mace, nutmeg, and pepper together very well and cover. Set in a refrigerator overnight for 12 hours.
  4. 4 Pass all meat through a meat grinder. Lightly knead a couple of times, but everything should be close to blended evenly already. Cover and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse out casings, passing water through the interior. Let soak in warm water for 30 minutes.
  6. 6 Knot one end of casing and slide the other end over a sausage stuffing attachment on your stand mixer. Feed cold ground meat into casing on medium-low speed. If it gets too warm it is a pain to feed into the casings.
  7. 7 Twist into links of desired size as casing fills. Tie off other end after final link.
  8. 8 Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry sausages until browned and no longer pink in the centers, turning as needed, 10 to 15 minutes.
