PAPRIKA ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• Dry-brine the turkey: Pat the turkey dry and put on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub 2 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the garlic powder and dried dill all over the turkey. Refrigerate, uncovered, overnight.
• Position a rack in the lowest part of the oven, remove the other racks and preheat to 350 degrees F. Toss the thyme, shallots, carrots, celery and turkey neck with the olive oil in a large roasting pan; set a rack on top. Stuff the turkey cavity with the apple, garlic and fresh dill and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Place the turkey breast-side up on the rack and tuck the wings under the body. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Roast the turkey 1 hour, then baste with the pan drippings. Roast for 1 more hour, basting every 30 minutes. Melt the butter with the sweet paprika and hot paprika in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush the turkey all over with about half of the butter. Continue roasting until the skin is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 160 degrees F to 165 degrees F, 15 to 60 more minutes, brushing with more of the butter during the last 10 minutes. (Add the broth to the roasting pan if the drippings are getting too dark.) Remove the turkey from the oven and brush with the remaining butter. Transfer the turkey (on the rack) to a rimmed baking sheet and let rest 30 minutes before carving. Use the pan drippings for gravy.

TURKEY-AND-ONION PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Pat turkey dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. In batches, cook turkey until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add onion, tomatoes, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cook until onion has softened and tomatoes have broken down, 6 minutes. Add paprika and cook 1 minute.
• Add broth and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Return turkey to pan along with any accumulated juices. Sprinkle with dill and serve over noodles.

CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
• Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
