Traditionally, the centrepiece of the festive table is the roast turkey, which the dedicated team at Spago Budapest is happy to prepare again this year, whether you choose to eat it on the spot or at home.

Holidays are times worth making special. Not only in terms of decoration, but also in terms of gastronomy. And from the very beginning, the Thanksgiving feast has been centred around one ingredient: turkey. This is no coincidence, of course, since the huge size of turkeys is perfect to feed a larger family generously.

Although Thanksgiving is not as big a holiday in Hungary as the Christmas season that follows, an exciting turkey dish has as much place on the festive table at home as it does at Thanksgiving Day parties overseas.

The Thanksgiving takeaway turkey feast of Spago Budapest has become a true tradition and is hugely popular every year. This year's menu will once again offer an unforgettable taste experience, available to order between 28-30th November in time for the holiday and will deliver a burst of flavour.

The Thanksgiving Day feast for 8 guests starts with a roasted pumpkin soup, where pumpkin, crunchy bread and pumpkin seeds make a heart-warming combination.

The highlight of the menu is the whole roasted Norfolk bronze turkey, a true masterpiece from the local team of world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. The juicy poultry is accompanied by creamy ratte potato purée, sautéed green vegetables with bacon, braised red cabbage with apple and mulled wine, and of course the traditional  herb stuffing.

All this is accompanied by cranberry sauce and roasted turkey gravy sauce to complete the harmony of flavours. And the cherry on top of the menu is the special desserts, homemade pies, which can be ordered in pumpkin, apple or pecan versions.

The menu can also be ordered with a wine pairing, with either the creamy, full-bodied Chardonnay-style Wolfgang Puck Master Lot Reserve Chardonnay, made with tropical fruit, melon and vanilla under the careful guidance of world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck, or the red Wolfgang Puck, Pinot Noir Master Lot, which has a fuller character with concentrated cherry, juicy plum and cocoa notes. 

Executive chef István Szántó will, of course, be preparing a Thanksgiving menu on the spot as well, so those wishing to enjoy a feast in the iconic Matild Palace should book a table for 28th November. On this day, pumpkin soup is followed by charcoal-roasted turkey breast with creamy potatoes, wild broccoli, cranberries and gravy sauce, and apple, pumpkin or pecan pie is accompanied by caramel sauce and cinnamon ice cream.

Spago Budapest's takeaway turkey feast is not only available for Thanksgiving, but also for pre-order during the Christmas season, from  21-26^th December.
