Cinnamon Harissa Turkey - Feast Your Eyes

Photo: Norecipes.com.

Though Thanksgiving is yet over a month away, eager foodies have already started plotting the year's most indulgent feast. And for such mouthwatering inspiration, we thank our friends at norecipes.com for this Cinnamon Harissa Turkey recipe. Omitting gravy, Marc brined the turkey in water, brown sugar, cloves, salt and pepper before applying a rub with cinnamon, sumac, cumin, coriander and harissa to create a gloriously golden, moist and spicy-sweet bird.

Marc created an entire West Asian Thanksgiving meal last year, accompanying the heritage turkey with a Fiery Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce, Tahini Mashed Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts Caramelized with Pomegranate Molasses and more. And though we were wowed by his creativity, we wonder how far we'd be willing to stray from old family recipes.

Would you be open to shirking tradition and creating an exotic Thanksgiving meal this year? Tell us how much you're willing to deviate in the comments!

I wasn't really sure how far I would be able to stray from the regulars during Thanksgiving.. turns out, I can go halfway around the world away from it for a delicious recipe-- which I have found several of! I was sure that my family would be surprised and mildly disappointed, but they took it really well.. We ate almost all of the 8 dishes I prepared. Thanks for giving me the juevos to try something different!
