Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011Turkey!
Sunday, November 28th, 2010Just a quick snap of the incredibly tasty turkey breast I made for Thanksgiving.
Couldn’t have been easier.
1. Brine for several hours beforehand. (8# turkey breast, had it in the cooler for ~6 hours. Don’t want more than 1 hour per pound.)
2. Melt a stick of butter and cover the turkey with it.
3. Cover w/any kind of cracked pepper goodness – whatever your favorite rub is.
4. Roast @ 325 degrees until it has an internal temp of 165 degrees.
Juicy and awesome.
TurkeyQuest 2009: Success!
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
In my fridge there is a 7.92# Shady Brook Farms turkey breast! The first market I went to last evening had at least a dozen of them. Much better than the year I had to go to 3 different stores to find one.
I always get the biggest one I can get my hands on, because the leftovers will NOT go to waste. I like turkey, but don’t eat it a whole lot. My brother LOVES turkey. Last year he had 8 meals in a row of turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving. We’ll see if he can break the record this year.
As it stands, we will again have enough food for a small army, even though it’s just my brother & myself. But I won’t have to cook for at least 3 days afterwards!
The cheese & sausage plate will be a meal in and of itself. I’ve got summer sausage, hard pepperoni and… There’s one other thing and I can’t remember what it is off the top of my head but it’s in the fridge. For cheeses, we have good old sharp cheddar, pepper jack, salsa jack (never heard of it before, but it looked interesting,) smoked gouda and dill havarti. I also have a roll of Salame Panino. (Salame rolled in mozzarella!) It just looked really yummy.
Can’t wait!
