cayenne pepper, cornstarch, half and half, heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, whole egg, whole milk

No, you didn’t misread that.  This is “almost” hollandaise sauce.  It looks like it.  It tastes like it…so what’s the deal?  Well, no butter!  Yes!  Now you’re asking, why, for the love of all that’s holy in the kitchen, wouldn’t you want butter in a hollandaise sauce?  Let’s face it, hollandaise has to be made last minute…it really does.  It doesn’t reheat well and it’s a bit on the rich side, right?  This has all the really good properties of a real-deal hollandaise sauce, but without the drawbacks…and you can have more without feeling like over-stuffed!

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a fling.  Yes, The Spicy Honey is aware of my dalliance and he approves.  Right now, you’re wondering just what kind of blog post this is, aren’t you?  So, my dear gutter-minded-friends, I’m talking about tarragon and mustard!  And the ultimate question—is it a sauce?  Or is it a vinaigrette?

Four-In-One, Quick Thanksgiving TurkeySpatchcock?  Or not spatchcock?  That is the question.  It’s such fun to say “spatchcock”…go ahead, say it over and over.  Turns out, it’s a great way to save time cooking your turkey, too.  I have done this with a twenty pounder, but today, it’s a smaller twelve pounder.  Then, place your different types of seasoning on each quarter for four different flavors, because variety is truly the spice of life!
