Our Maple Syrup Recipes
Feature Recipe: Maple BBQ Turkey
- 12 – 14 lb Turkey or large roasting chicken
- 1 ½ cups Everything Maple BBQ sauce (or Yikes! for more heat)
- 1 cup of water
Method: Make a pocket between the skin and the flesh of the bird, by sliding your hand between the layers –the deeper the pockets, the better… as always! Fill the pockets with our Maple BBQ sauce.
Cook on a vertical roaster – if possible – but an empty soda can will work as well (just fill with water first) Pour the water in the bottom of the drip pan, and barbeque on the grill on low for 15 minutes per pound of meat. OR cook in the oven at 325° F.
Mix the remaining sauce with the pan drippings, skimming off any unwanted fat. Allow the turkey to ‘rest’ for 15 minutes and then carve the meat and place it back into the dripping pan. Allow the meat to warm thoroughly and serve.

To dress up your Brie: Cut 8 layers of phyllo pastry into squares twice as wide as the cheese, brush each layer with melted butter, and arrange them so each layer is slightly off centre, making a pointed circle. Place the brie in the centre, and twist each corner up and around the cheese, leaving the centre clear, making roses with the pastry. Bake for 30 min You can also use Croissant dough for your pastry. Simply arrange the triangles in a circle, place your brie in the centre, and bring each triangle up to cover the cheese...bake for 20 min at 350F.
