While turkey was far from common on the dining table growing up in Dubai, the city has welcomed the tradition with hungry arms. As soon as Thanksgiving is round the corner, supermarkets and online groceries will start stocking the bird and restaurants will promote festive turkey meals. Our trusted spot for a beautifully brined turkey that gets delivered right to our doorstop is Carnistore (@carnistore), a premium butchery and smokehouse. We love that we can order from them blindfolded, knowing that what they’ll send us is destined for greatness on the dinner table.
The two brains behind Carnistore, Dan and Fix, graciously agreed to brainstorm ideas for adding a regional twist to our festive turkey. Tune in using the player below for the Festive Turkey episode of the Deep Fried podcast. And if cooking a whole turkey is not your thing, they’ve still got you covered with a mammoth festive feast that features smoked turkey, smoked broth gravy, butter and sage veal stuffing and a host of delicious sides.
