Starting to get a little freaked out about Turkey Day?

I hear you. It can be daunting to prepare a Paleo Thanksgiving feast for a crowd—especially one that’s expected to hit all the traditional notes: turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed something-or-other, football on TV, elastic waistbands, and a big helping of family drama.

I can’t broker peace between Uncle Frank and your sister-in-law, but I can help with the food. This year, I’m partnering with Whole Foods Market to hold your hand through each step of the process.

Nomtastic Paleo Thanksgiving: Spatchcocked Turkey (Butterflied Big Bird) Video by Michelle Tam https://nomnompaleo.com

This year’s holiday menu? THE SAME AS LAST YEAR’S. Why? Because Thanksgiving’s not the time to experiment with new recipes. We can’t afford a spectacular fail in front of our family and friends, am I right? That’s why I always return to my list of tried-and-true Turkey Day recipes.

Ready to get started? I’ll even show you a fun video (featuring me!) to help conquer your fear of cooking turkey!

Step One: Order a turkey—soon. Like, this week. If you’re getting a pastured turkey from your local farmer, that’s ideal. Alternatively, if you’re thinking about picking up a big bird from the store, check out the Global Animal Partnership’s (GAP) 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating on the turkeys sold at Whole Foods Market, which offers information about how store-bought birds were raised. For example, I see that my local (Northern California) Whole Foods locations carry birds from Diestel Family Turkey Ranch in Sonora—and turkeys from its original ranch got a 5+ rating! (SoCal folks can order their choice of Mary’s Free Range Turkeys, raised by the Pittman family in Fresno.)

Step Two: Review my recipe for Spatchcocked Turkey—a.k.a. Butterflied Big Bird. And watch this brand-spankin’-new video (shot in my kitchen!), in which I demonstrate how to roast a butterflied turkey in just a few easy steps:

Pro tip: You can request that the meat department spatchcock your turkey when you pre-order it at Whole Foods Market. Simply ask ’em to remove the backbone in the special instructions and it’ll be done for free!

Step Three: Stay tuned! I’ll be posting more Thanksgiving-themed videos in the coming days, along with a handy-dandy Turkey Day prep timeline and a shopping list, too. Trust me: Thanksgiving will be a breeze this year!
