Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Make a small incision on sides of each chestnut, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted. Remove from heat, peel, and chop.
- Melt 2/3 cup butter in a saucepan, and mix in the orange juice, tangerine juice, and lemon juice. Rub the turkey inside and out with the mixture, reserving some for basting. Season turkey with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, ground pork, and onion until beef and pork are evenly brown and onion is tender. Drain grease. Mix in the rice. Stir in the chestnuts, pine nuts, raisins, 1/3 cup butter, broth, and brandy. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking until all liquid has been absorbed. Stuff all turkey cavities with the mixture, and tie in place with kitchen twine.
- Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan, and loosely cover breast and thighs with aluminum foil. Pour about 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Maintain this level of water throughout cook time. Roast turkey in the preheated oven 3 to 4 hours, brushing occasionally with remaining butter and juice mixture. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) during final hour of roasting, and remove foil. Cook turkey to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Steps:
- Heat a grill to medium high. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil. Slice the potatoes 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on a sheet of heavy-duty foil. Bring the ends of the foil together and seal into a flat packet. Grill, flipping the packet halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the turkey, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon slices, garlic and oregano sprigs in a large resealable plastic bag. Massage the marinade into the meat, about 3 minutes. Remove the turkey and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Brush the tomato halves with olive oil and grill, turning once, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully open the foil packet and toss the potatoes with the chopped oregano; top with the feta. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and halve each turkey cutlet. Divide the potatoes, tomatoes and turkey among plates, along with the grape leaves, hummus and lemon wedges. Drizzle with olive oil.
