This week on "Genius Recipes," Kristen's talking turkey -- specifically the most Genius turkey recipe of all time. L.A. Times food writer Russ Parsons first tried this recipe in 2006, inspired by chef Judy Rodgers's famous dry-brined chicken at Zuni Café in San Francisco. Kristen first wrote about the recipe for Food52 in 2011, and it's been a community favorite ever since!
