                 “But on the table itself there was set out such a banquet as had never been seen. . . . There
                  were turkeys and geese and peacocks, there were boars’ heads and sides of venison . . .
                 and the smell of the fruit and the wine blew toward them like a promise of all happiness.”—
                                              The Voyage of the Dawn Treader



                Bone-in turkey breast is a great alternative to a whole turkey if you’re not feeding a large
                crowd. This honey- and lemon-glazed dish pairs beautifully with blackberry wine sauce.
