BROWN SUGAR-CURED TURKEY WITH WILD MUSHROOM-SHALLOT GRAVY
I love to try new turkey recipes during the year to experiment before the holidays. I'm finally getting around to posting some that I've tried before. This one is quite good, but a little more work than most. However, parts of it can be prepared a day ahead. Plan ahead for this one - the turkey needs sit in the refer for 24 hours with the herb mixture before cooking.
