When it comes to holiday meals, few things are as iconic as a beautifully roasted turkey. With The Meathead Store’s Premium Whole Turkey and our secret Cajun marinade recipe, you can create a juicy, flavour-packed centerpiece that will have your guests coming back for seconds (and thirds!).

Ingredients:

• 1 Meathead Premium Whole Turkey (9-10 lbs)
• 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tbsp of Adam's premium tallow (softened)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups of Adam's chicken stock

Cajun Injection Marinade:

• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp of melted Adam's premium tallow
• 2 tbsp of your favourite Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 cup Adam's Chicken stock
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder

Savory Stuffing:

• 1 loaf of French bread (cubed)
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp poultry seasoning
• 2 cups Adam's chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Thaw and Prepare the Turkey: Ensure your turkey is fully thawed and pat it dry with paper towels. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Inject the Flavor: Combine all the Cajun injection marinade ingredients. Using a flavor injector, inject the marinade into the turkey breasts, thighs, and drumsticks for bursts of juicy, seasoned goodness.
3. Season the Skin: Rub and mix softened butter, tallow and olive oil over the entire turkey. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
4. Prepare the Stuffing: In a skillet, melt butter and sauté celery and onions until tender. Add cubed French bread, cranberries, pecans, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in chicken stock until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
5. Stuff the Turkey: Loosely fill the cavity with the stuffing and tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
6. Roast to Perfection: Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a pan. Add 2 cups of Meathead Chicken stock to the pan to keep the turkey moist. Roast for approximately 13-15 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the breast.
7. Rest and Serve: Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with stuffing on the side and enjoy a holiday masterpiece!

With this special turkey recipe, your holiday feast is bound to be unforgettable, creating cherished memories with family and friends. But when those chilly winter nights roll in and hunger strikes fast, you’ll need a quicker fix—don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
