    This is a sweet, buttery, late harvest Barnea. This oil brings together the best of both worlds with all the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil and the rich 100% natural flavor of butter. You can refrigerate some in a bowl and then spread it over toast or rolls. Anyone looking to eat healthier and reduce their saturated fat intake is going to love it!
     
    Tip: Use as a butter substitute or anywhere you might use melted butter; over hot popcorn, with seafood or with eggs, spinach, feta cheese and cherry tomatoes to start your day off right. Dip your warm bread or splash it over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. You won’t believe it’s not butter, because health-wise it's better.
     
    Note: We use this one quite a bit for cooking, putting a bit in rice while it's cooking gives you a great butter flavor.

  15. 1/2 cup chopped Dill
  16. 1 tablespoon Coriander Seeds (toasted and then ground)
  17. Salt and Pepper to taste
  18. California Mission Extra Virgin Olive Oil
FOR THE GRAVY
  1. 2 cups Chicken Stock

  3. 1/2 cup Turkey Drippings
  4. 2 Lemons (zested; one juiced)
  5. 8 Egg Yolks
  6. Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Turkey
  1. In a large stock pot, combine the water, sea salt, mint, coriander seeds, thyme, dill, honey and garlic cloves.
  2. Bring to a boil, and stir frequently to be sure salt is dissolved. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature.
  3. When the broth mixture is cool, pour it into a clean 5 gallon bucket. Stir in the ice water and Ouzo.
  4. Place the turkey, breast down, into the brine. Make sure that the cavity gets filled. Place the bucket in the refrigerator overnight but no longer than 12 hours.
  5. Remove the turkey and carefully drain off the excess brine and pat dry. Discard excess brine.
  6. Preheat the oven to 425. Arrange an oven rack on the lower third of the oven. Place the turkey in a roasting pan on a rack. Tuck the roasted garlic cloves in the cavity of the bird along with the lemon.
  7. Mix the yogurt with the chopped dill and coriander. Season with salt and black pepper. Take your hand and loosen the skin from the breast. With a piping bag, gently distribute the yogurt mixture under the skin of the turkey, in the cavity, and on the turkey skin.
  8. Drizzle California Mission Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the turkey and place in the oven. Cook for about 30 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 325. Continue cooking until a thermometer reads 160 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
  9. Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
For the Gravy
  1. In a small sauce pan, add the stock, dill, turkey drippings, and lemons. Bring to a simmer and slowly whisk in the eggs. Do not boil or the eggs will scramble. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
