How are you cooking your turkey?
How do you season it, what do you use? What style do you use to bake it? I'm a vegetarian, BUT I cook a turkey for my family. Poor turkey!
When I make Turkey I just use butter salt and pepper.. and baste is key...I basted every 10 minutes. I enjoyed every minute of it though..I love to cook!!! Oh and I just bake it in the oven in one of those Turkey Baking pans that you can buy all over at this time of the year..
I grease up the bird and season it with salt, pepper and garlic. I put it in a reynolds turkey baking bag with water (for gravy). Then cook! So yummy and easy!
I put olive oil on the skin and sage and rosemary under the skin. An onion and a piece of celery inside the turkey (I make cornbread dressing). Turns out great everytime
I grease it up, add salt and pepper and cook it in the roaster. I do baste, but usually not until the last hour or so. Yummy!
It's my dh's job to cook the turkey every year, usually he will rub olive oil on it and lemon pepper. I know this will sound funny but this year we are going to cook it upside down. I recently read in a magazine that tom hank's wife Rita cooks her's upside down, and I guess the breast will get juicy when doing this, we shall see!!!
If I was making a normal turkey breast, or if I was cooking a whole chicken, I would sprinkle it with a little butter, thyme, sage, rosemary, a little salt and pepper. I'm making my turkey breast with a cranberry/mustard/steak sauce/brownsugar sauce tomorrow. I can't wait to smell it cooking.
