The holidays are times for rich memories - many of which start in the kitchen and around the dinner table! Citrus fruits make for vibrant additions to turkey brines, side dishes, and appetizers. Whether it be in a gorgeous dinner centerpiece or a delicious dish, here are three ways to brighten up your Turkey Day with Darling Citrus!
Orange, lemon, and lime zests are the shining stars of this dry brined turkey. The zests are combined with brown sugar, butter, and sage to create a sweet and savory taste contrast. Marinate your turkey for up to three days in this dry brine for a juicy and flavorful Thanksgiving meal!
Citrus can easily light up a holiday tablescape in a beautiful fall centerpiece! Have your family gather around a layout of pinecones, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, oranges, clementines, or grapefruits. Make it your own by decorating the citrus fruits with cloves, tea lights, various colored pumpkins, or fall-themed decor!
Pair your dry-brined turkey with this hearty fall citrus salad! Lentils and quinoa create a delicious carb base while pecans bring a sweet, nutty flavor to the mix. Clementine slices and lemon juice add another dimension of bright flavor alongside the dijon mustard, red onion, and parsley.
Happy Thanksgiving, Darlings!
