As turkey recipes abound, I’m just like everyone else. I only cook a turkey once a year, so I watch all the cooking shows, and read the latest news on turkey cooking. When Michael Symon draped his turkey in a cheesecloth on the Chew a few years ago, and said “this bird will not need basting,” I knew I was in.

I didn’t use his Greek flavor profile, choosing my own, so feel free to adjust the recipe according to your favorite seasonings.  I used oranges, thyme, sage, rosemary and shallots to season the bird and I made my own turkey stock.

What Kind of Cheesecloth.

You can get your cheesecloth here. It’s cooking grade and comes to your door from Amazon.

The seasonings and spices are not as important as the technique. I think you could use chicken stock, salt and pepper and still come out a winner. But, I know you’ll fuss with your favorite herbs just like I do.

To Brine or Not to Brine Your Cheesecloth Roasted Turkey

I’m in good company with all the major chefs like Bobby Flay and Micheal Symon who don’t brine their turkey. Bobby Flay says that brining is for folks who overcook their turkey. A fresh turkey should not need brining.

However, there is something called a dry brine, which is the secret to my roast chicken. You simply salt the turkey the day before, wrap in plastic, not unlike the way I roast a chicken.

What kind of turkey should you use to make turkey roasted with cheesecloth technique?

I think this is of paramount importance if you want a good tasting, healthy turkey.

I always buy a fresh turkey from a reliable source. I don’t think you need to spend $100 on a turkey, but I don’t recommend looking for a bargain. Do your homework. Dismiss hormone laden turkeys that don’t ever cook, and buy the best turkey you can find within reason. Having said that, even the $100 turkey can be a disaster if it’s cooked to death.

This is a tested recipe using a turkey which was humanely raised and vegetarian fed, free of antibiotics and growth hormones. It was absolutely perfect. Get my turkey gravy recipe here.

Temperature and Roasting Times for Roast Turkey

Turkey that is fresh, defrosting takes approximately 13 minutes per pound. Many ovens comes with a probe, which will release once the turkey (at the thigh) reaches the temperature you set, which should be 165° F. If you don’t have a built-in probe, use an instant read meat thermometer. Measure at the thigh, away from the bone. You may also want to check the temperature of your oven with this oven thermostat.

Tell me, do you watch cooking shows and use the recipes for your Thanksgiving dinner?

Believe it or not, I don’t actually have a sweet tooth, even though I have a keto bakery and bring you many keto dessert recipes. However, I do love Italian desserts, as the baked goods are often made with almond flour and are not that sweet.

You can eat these muffins just as they are, or with a drizzle of vanilla glaze, which is how I sell them in my keto bakery. And, and I should mention that out of all of the the baked goods that come out of my kitchen, this is my husband’s all time favorite.

I really like using tart liners as opposed to cupcake liners for a flat, more shareable cake. You can use these or traditional liners. You can see below how much I filled the liners and with what result.

Top the Orange Muffin with A Glaze

The keto orange olive oil is topped with a simple orange-flavored glaze also made with Swerve’s Confectioner’s. On that note, when I ran out of the Swerve brand, I used the Lakanto brand of confectioner’s and it was equally good.

Macros

Don’t be too concerned that you are eating a lot of carbs because one orange with the skin (provides fiber) makes 12 servings. So you are only eating 1/12 of an orange with protein, fat and fiber.

What Ingredients are used in this grain free keto orange bundt cake?

Whole orange, almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, avocado oil and olive oil are the main ingredients in this cake. You can use all avocado oil or all olive oil. That’s up to you.

Whole oranges are boiled and pureed, which add an amazing orange flavor and moist texture.

This is very much like the one layer orange cake I made a few years ago here,

How to prevent a bundt cake from sticking?

You will love these tips for preventing a bundt cake from sticking.

Tips for Baking in a Bundt Pan

Baking in a bundt pan is perhaps the biggest challenge for a high protein almond-flour based cake. I have a few tips for you and it works PERFECTLY!

• Apply softened butter to bundt pan.
• Freeze the pan. This helps set the butter. Right before adding butter to the frozen pan, give it a spray with avocado or coconut oil spray.
• After baking, cool for fifteen minutes. This is important.
• Make a cardboard template or purchase some cake cardboards to slip down onto the cake to hold it in place while you are releasing the cake. This way, the cake won’t suddenly drop! Slide onto your cake pan and leave it there. This is not a perfect cut-out, but it doesn’t have to be.
• NOTE: I now use round cake cardboard, which also works very well. Once you have turned the cake over, place the cake pan back over the bundt cake until it is completely cool.

Why does this recipe have xanthan gum?

Xanthan gum helps stabilize alternative flours, keeping them from falling apart, the job gluten usually does. However, if you have an aversion to xanthan gum, you can leave out. Your cake may not hold together as well, but it will taste great.

What Bundt Pan Should I use?

Almond flour is high in protein and tends to stick more than other cakes. The more simple the design, the better. I like this one from Nordic Ware, made in the USA and has handles.

Here are ALL the items I use in low-carb baking.

How can an Orange Bundt Cake be keto friendly?

I know I will get comments that this cake can’t possibly be keto because there is an orange in the cake, and oranges have a lot of fruit sugar (fructose). An orange has 16 net carbs for the whole cake, as we are also counting the peel and pith adding fiber.

This cake serves 18 and is 3 net carbs. Some people on keto diet will refuse to eat any fruit, even small amounts and I understand that. I do want to add, however, that my husband lost 12 pounds eating this cake every day.

Why I use Swerve as my sweetener. 

I use both the granulated and the confectioner’s swerve in this case. Read here all about Swerve, what it is and why I use it.

Two Topping Choices

I like to put both the orange butter topping and a dairy free orange icing glaze on this cake. You can choose one or both.

Most of my customers prefer the orange butter glaze, however the icing glaze is dairy free, if you need that.

Orange Butter Glaze

This glaze is absolutely delicious. Butter, Swerve confectioner’s, pureed orange heated and poured over the cake, adding to the already moist cake. You will love this and it’s easy. However, it’s not the best look. Just for appearance I still like to drizzle some icing made with a squeeze of orange juice (or water) Swerve confectioner’s sweetener and some orange zest.

Dried Orange Peel

When this cake is for a special occasion in the bakery, I dry some orange peel slivers in granulated swerve for decoration. This is a great tool to get that perfect lemon peel.

Nutrition Value for Keto Orange Cake

There are 3 net carbs per slice.

You can make mini orange cakes.  Using this orange cake batter recipe here, you can make 12 cupcakes or 12 mini cakes, a one layer cake. This is the little orange cake I sell in my bakery.

Preparation for Bundt Pan

• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening

Bundt Cake

• 1 1/4 large navel oranges

Dry Ingredients

• 325 grams blanched almond flour 3 cups
• 35 grams coconut flour 1/3 cup
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

• 2 tablespoons orange juice

Orange Butter Topping Option

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup Swerve Confectioner's Sweetener see notes
• 2 tablespoons orange mixture

Instructions

Prepare Bundt Pan

• Completely cover every nook and cranny of the bundt pan with vegetable shortening Mixture. You can choose just to use vegetable shortening. Both methods work.
• Freeze the pan. Once frozen, you can then move the shortening around into crannies if needed, making sure every little section has shortening.

Cake

• Wash Navel orange and trim off the bottom, if necessary.
• Cut into quarters. Put in cold water. Bring to boil for 30 minutes. Drain. Reserve 1/4 cup water.
• Add to Vitamix and pulse until you have a texture of puree, yet with a little bit of zest showing. You may need to add a little water in bottom of blender. Set aside to cool. This can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Keep on bake, not convection bake if oven has that mode.
• You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer to make batter. Add oil and Swerve. Once mixed, add eggs and mix each one at at time for 30 seconds to fully incorporate.
• Add 1 1/4 cups orange mixture to the eggs and mix well. Make sure you have about 1/4 cup reserved for the orange glaze topping.
• Add vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl whisk the remaining dry ingredients. Add to the egg mixture.
• Give the pan one more light spray with baking spray.
• Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth out top with offset spatula.
• Bake for approximately 50 to 55 minutes. Test at 50 minutes. Internal temperature should be approximately 207 degrees F, no more than 210. Cover with foil if cake starts to brown too much, at 40 minutes.

How to Remove Cake from Bundt Pan

• Allow cake to cool for 20 minutes. This is important! Gently use an off set spatula or butter knife and go around the edges and middle to make sure cake is released on sides.
• Place a cut out of cardboard (Can use a paper plate with hole cut out, not styrofoam). This helps to hold cake in place when turning over. Place on cake plate.
• If using the orange butter glaze, you apply while cake is warm or at room temperature.
• This cake will stay fresh at room temperature for up to seven days.
• If only using the white icing topping, wait until cake is completely cool.
• You can freeze this cake. Wrap well in plastic wrap. Defrost in refrigerator.

Notes

This list of ingredients makes a large bundt cake that feeds up to 16. You can make a smaller version with this recipe that feeds up to 12. 

Swerve Confection: You can put Swerve (or Lakanto) into a Vitamix and pulse to make a confectioner’s sweetener.

What is Carnitas?

Carnitas means little meats. This carnitas is pork braised in broth for at least 3 hours, then pulled apart, crisped up and caramelized in the juices under the broiler or in the oven. I usually double this recipe and braise the meat in this 7 quart cast iron dutch oven.

You can only imagine how exciting the last part of the cooking is.

One of my favorite ways to eat pork tacos is with this red cabbage slaw.

I also love to have my carnitas with salsa verde, recipe found here.

We did this dinner for a recent birthday, because it’s a great crowd pleaser and doesn’t take a lot of time to put together. You can braise in a cast iron dutch oven, which is what I did, or make it in a slow cooker.

Pork Carnitas, Braised in Slow Cooker or Dutch Oven then Baked to Crispy

You will need to use the oven for the final twenty minutes, when the shredded pork cooks away in its juices and gets crispy on the ends. I was lucky enough to find a orange chipotle salt at Whole Foods, a new addition to their spices. It added that extra kick, but I didn’t include it in the recipe, because not everyone would have access to it.

My husband’s famous guacamole or sliced avocados are a must.

Perfect for a Cinco de Maya party, serve carnitas, which can be made ahead, even frozen.

Pair with Homemade Fresh Citrus Margaritas or strawberry lime basil sangria.

I was inspired to make a pear cranberry sauce for this year’s Thanksgiving from the cranberry pear cobbler I made here. This puts a bit of a sweeter spin, still strolling nicely with the tartness of the cranberries. Now some people don’t like cranberry sauce, like my husband. He liked this. This is not the first time I’ve added fruit. One year I made this blackberry cranberry sauce.

We’ll be serving this today alongside a cheesecloth roasted turkey and this array of sides.

It’s  that time of year where we put away the eggnog and reach for the Vitamix or Nutribullet.

These are all dairy free, vegan and I shouldn’t have to say this, naturally gluten free and Paleo. In other words, they fit into almost everyone’s diet plan.

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get back on track.  These are all dairy free, vegan, and it’s suggested that you use organic fruits and vegetables if possible, especially the berries and apples.

I know you love smoothies because these five smoothies have been viewed at Spinach Tiger over 178,000 times. Some have extraordinary traffic because there is not a lot of competition, but the ones with fewer views are just as good.
