Known for its versatility and convenience, Reynolds® is introducing a surprising and indulgent recipe that combines traditional turkey with the exotic flavors of Dubai chocolate. This unique pairing has gone viral on social media, captivating food enthusiasts everywhere. Let's explore the magic behind the Reynolds Wrap® Dubai Chocolate Turkey recipe.

The Allure of Dubai Chocolate

Dubai chocolate is a delightful medley of rich chocolate, crunchy pistachio, and crispy shredded pastry known as kataifi. Its decadent flavor profile has rapidly gained popularity among food lovers, making it a perfect candidate for a holiday twist. This Thanksgiving, Reynolds® is guiding home cooks to embrace this global flavor trend by incorporating it into their turkey dishes.

The Reynolds Wrap® Dubai Chocolate Turkey Recipe

In crafting this exquisite dish, several key ingredients come into play:

• - Turkey: A 10 to 16-pound turkey forms the centerpiece of this culinary creation.
• - Dubai Chocolate Rub: This aromatic blend includes brown sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg, providing the turkey with a savory-sweet base.
• - Kataifi Filling: The kataifi pastry adds texture and richness, filled with buttery, shredded dough and a creamy pistachio blend.
• - Molten Chocolate Gravy: As if that weren't enough, a sumptuous gravy made from milk chocolate and heavy cream elevates the dish to new heights of decadence.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. This allows for even cooking of the turkey.
2. Prepare the Rub: Combine the ingredients for the Dubai Chocolate Turkey Rub in a bowl, mixing them thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
3. Prepare the Turkey: Make sure the turkey is cleaned and patted dry. Place it on a layer of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil for easy cleanup.
4. Season the Turkey: Brush the turkey with olive oil and generously apply the Dubai Chocolate Turkey Rub, ensuring it adheres well.

Cooking Options

• - Foil Tent Method: Create a foil tent to cover the turkey while keeping the heat circulating. Remove it after the first hour to allow the skin to crisp up.
• - Oven Bag Method: Alternatively, place the turkey in a Reynolds Kitchens® Turkey Oven Bag and follow the instructions on the package for a no-fail cooking experience.

The Final Touches

During the last hour of baking:

• - Pistachio Coating: Process some pistachios into a fine crumb for coating. This adds a delightful crunch to the exterior of the turkey.
• - Kataifi Filling: Cook kataifi dough in butter until golden, then mix it with pistachio cream and tahini for a decadent filling.
• - Prepare Chocolate Gravy: Heat cream and pour it over chopped chocolate to create a silky gravy.

Plating

Once cooked, allow the turkey to rest for 15 minutes. Remove it from the foil or oven bag and place it on a serving platter. Generously coat the outside with ground pistachios, fill the cavity with kataifi mixture, and drizzle the molten chocolate sauce over the top just before serving.
