Thanksgiving is next week and it's definitely time to nail down your menu for the big day!  One item that is a must have on the table is turkey, which sometimes can be a little intimidating when you are dealing with the whole bird!  That's why I created a recipe that anyone can make using turkey breast cutlets!  Not only is this recipe easier and less time consuming than cooking a whole turkey, but it's also a fun new take on the main course that your whole family will love!  My mushroom and bok choy stuffed turkey cutlets are the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu and I can't wait for you to make them!

Dry Brined Brown Butter and Sage Roasted Turkey

Um guys...Thanksgiving is two weeks away.  What the what?  How did this happen because just yesterday it was Halloween.  Every year without fail after Halloween rolls around and then the year seems to disappear right in front of my eyes.  It is actually kind of sad because this is absolutely my most favorite time of the year.  For real, I live for the holiday season!  I would already have my tree up if my hubby would allow it, and if we were going to be in town for Thanksgiving to enjoy it!  I will tell you that whatever your plans happen to be for Thanksgiving this year, you should put this dry brined brown butter and sage roasted turkey on your list of things to make!
