Voltaggioturkey Brine And Rub
- For the herb mayonnaise:
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
- 2 cups canola oil
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh marjoram
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh golden sage
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 orange, juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- For the brine:
- 2 Tbs. canola oil
- 12 oz. chicken wings, halved at the joint
- 1 turkey neck
- 1/4 cup diced carrot
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 quart cold water
- 1 Tbs. soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbs. kosher salt
- 3 allspice berries
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 fresh marjoram sprigs
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- To make the herb mayonnaise, place the egg yolks and mustard in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the mixture has fully emulsified and thickened. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the marjoram, sage, thyme and orange juice. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This recipe makes about 2 cups mayonnaise; use 1 cup (or more if needed) for the turkey and reserve the rest for another use.
- To make the brine, in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the chicken wings and turkey neck and cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown and roasted, about 10 minutes. Add the carrot, celery and onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add the wine and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the cold water, soy sauce, kosher salt, allspice, garlic, cinnamon, marjoram and thyme. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, then stir well. Set the pot in an ice bath to cool the brine. Strain out the solids and reserve; refrigerate the solids until ready to use.
