Reynolds Wrap recipe for Thanksgiving glitter turkey

Publish date: 2024-05-05

It's safe to say that few people have looked at a Thanksgiving spread and thought, 'Needs more sparkle'.

But if the preferences and shopping habits of girls and young women have taught us anything, it's that sometimes they might not realize how much they needed something covered in glitter until they see it.

And to that end, Reynolds Wrap has debuted a new recipe just in time for Thanksgiving this year for an Edible Glitter Turkey.

Reynolds Kitchen, the company behind Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil, comes up with creative recipes using their products. And for Thanksgiving this year, they really reached for something new.

For their holiday recipe line-up, Reynolds debuted a recipe for an entire roasted turkey covered in edible pink glitter. 

'Make your Thanksgiving turkey the coolest on Instagram with these fun hacks and creative turkey recipes,' the brand says.

The glitter turkey is made just like any other turkey, roasting in the oven for several hours, depending on weight.

But there's one exception: Before it goes in the oven, it's dusted in an edible glitter made from Gum-Tex powder, water, and food coloring.

The brand includes step-by-step directions and says the glitter can be any color you want, though they picked pink for the demonstration.

The result is a picture-perfect bird that looks roasted to perfection — with a heap of extra glamour thrown in. 

In addition to a much glitzier platter of poultry, the brand also debuted a recipe for Mountain Dew turkey.

This one is made by brining the bird in a Mountain Dew mixture before cooking, which may sound outrageous but would likely just result in the turkey having a slight citrus flavor.

Reynolds also debuted several fun stuffing varieties: Big Mac Stuffing, Crunch Wrap Supreme Stuffing, and Popeyes Fried Chicken and Biscuits Stuffing.

The Big Mac one is made by mixing actual chopped-up cheeseburgers with spices and beef stock, the Crunch Wrap Supreme one has taco pieces, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream, and the Fried Chicken one is — you guessed it — fried chicken and biscuit-based. 

Last year, Reynolds went viral for another unconventional recipe: Flamin' Hot Cheetos turkey.

They also shared a similar recipe that requires 'ranch-flavored corn chips' like Cool Ranch Doritos, and a third that uses 'onion-flavored rings' like Funyuns.
