Dish of the Day: Eataly's Thanksgiving Turkey Porchetta

Turkey is one of the only staples in our diet we never seem to grow tired of. We enjoy it as a leg, as a wing, as a breast, and most often, as a cold cut. But every year on Thanksgiving, our turkey tactics stay the same: carve the bird and serve. This year, Mario Batali's Seven Heavens of Italy is putting a twist on tradition.

For Thanksgiving this year, Eataly is offering turkey, served porchetta-style— a step up from the original street food. This sandwich preps your stomach for the array of turkey to come this holiday season. The original porchetta is a pork shoulder stuffed with herbs and offal (Eataly's version is a bit leaner for your waistline and lacks the organ meats). Served between two slices of fresh baguette, the turkey's moistness calls for no extra gravy. Looks like the Italians always seem to know best, even for an American holiday. Tip: Pre-order your turkey porchetta for this Thanksgiving today— no carving required
