Turkey is a tricky beast! Most cooks wring their hands as Thanksgiving approaches, hoping and praying for a better outcome than last year, when the meat was dry and/or undercooked, or guests were left waiting for hours for a lackluster slice of sad turkey. It must be stopped! Our head chef and butcher, Gracie, is here to tell you there is a better way.

In this class students will learn to butcher a whole turkey, the difference between wet brining and dry brining, and roast, braise, sear, and smoke their way to delicious turkey dishes! So whether you’re a turkey lover who believes in the potential of this delicious bird, or a turkey skeptic who’s never had a bite of turkey they enjoyed, we’re here to take you on a delicious turkey journey. We’ll also throw in a little gravy making magic while we’re at it!
