Share Whether you’re enjoying a cozy Easter dinner for two or cooking brunch for a crowd, there’s always a turkey recipe perfect for the centre of your holiday table.
Here are three recipes that showcase turkey’s versatility – which one will be on your Easter menu?
Apple Honey Glazed Turkey
Perfect for: Traditional Family Easter Dinner
If you’re on “Team Traditional” then this one’s for you! My family loves a whole-roasted turkey on Easter, and the familiar flavours in this apple honey glaze add a complimentary pop of sweetness. Pair it with honey-roasted carrots, pan-fried Brussels sprouts, and your favourite mashed potato recipe for a nourishing meal.

Instant Pot Whole Turkey
Perfect for: The Busy Family Easter
Looking to reap the benefits of your time-saving Instant Pot? Then this whole turkey recipe is for you. With a quick broil at the end, you won’t even miss out on that crispy skin. Keep things quick, easy, and balanced by serving it with a leafy green salad and barley pilaf.
Meal Prep Tip: Did you know you can freeze leftover turkey? Slice or shred leftover turkey meat and freeze it in a freezer-safe airtight bag. Then thaw in the fridge and reheat for an easy protein option at meals, or toss it frozen into your go-to turkey soup recipe.

Easter is the perfect time to host an elegant brunch with friends, and this Lavender Honey Turkey is a must have addition to your menu. Seasoned with lavender, honey, and fresh herbs, this dish creates a luxurious pairing with a sparkling wine or alcohol-free sparkling cider.
