That simple ingredient is—wait for it—pepperoni, which we consider way more than a pizza topping. This Italian salami, made of pork and beef, is generously seasoned with black and red pepper, so it’s no surprise it lends a punch of flavor to a Thanksgiving turkey (which, let’s face it, has a tendency to be dry and bland). And when pepperoni meets butter in the food processor and then gets slathered under the turkey skin to add flavor and improve texture for a very juicy turkey…it’s magic!...
