In every thing give thanks: for this is the will
Of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Today I'm preparing for our Thanksgiving meal. We will have the traditional menu, not much changes, because family likes that. However, as of late, and I hate to admit it, my turkey has been lacking. Carly makes one fine turkey sometimes two and they are great. Mine however needs some tweaking.
Over the years, I've made the turn on the oven very high temp. cook turkey for an hour, turn oven off, don't open oven door. Wow it is a wonder any of us are alive! Many friends and family did that dangerous recipe. Hey, some of you may have?
I've brined, both dry and wet over the years. Changed how I seasoned, slipped lemon, or oranges under the skin, stuffed onions and celery inside, doused with olive oil, butter of course.....

We've even spent hundreds of dollars on Heritage grown turkeys. Truthfully, they weren't any better than the ones in the freezer case. If I had the time and dollars would order from other growers and maybe the outcome would be better. I just don't know.
What's a person to do when the turkey in present day is grown in such a rapid manner that it is just not as tender as it used to be? Who knows? I am thawing one in the sink presently to do a test bake and will let you know how and if it turns out well, or not! I have high hopes!
