After decades of roasting two turkeys for the big day, we look forward to an intimate Thanksgiving dinner. Four of us will enjoy roasted red chile turkey along with plenty of vegetable sides, fresh cranberry sauce, and pumpkin tarts. We’ll treat ourselves to sparkling wine and a charcuterie board while the final preparations take place.
For the turkey, we could roast a small whole bird, especially since we enjoy leftovers. But really, everyone just craves moist breast meat. A bone-in, skin-on turkey breast yields plenty of flavorful, juicy meat.
