Ingredients
- 3 cups salt
- 1 bunch each fresh parsley, tarragon, sage, and chives
- 2 whole turkey breasts, about 12 pounds
- 1 gallon duck fat
Directions
Place the salt and all the herbs into a food processor and process until the salt is pure green. Set aside.
Place the turkey breasts on a wire rack above a sheet pan and place in the refrigerator to dry for 3 hours. Take out and rub the salt all over the turkey breasts. Return to the refrigerator for another 2 hours. Take out and rinse all the salt off in cold running water. Place back on a clean rack on a sheet pan and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Take the turkey out and place, skin side up, in a deep hotel pan. Cover the turkey completely in the duck fat. Roast in the oven for 3 hours. When it comes out, let it sit for 1 hour to cool off. Serve.

I am rating the recipe according to having eaten it at the restaurant several times. One difference between this copy and the real thing is that the restaurant (which is now The Y.B. in Cape May, NJ - Younger Brother, Pete, to George is that the dish in the restaurant is DARK MEAT. And it is fabulous!!
