Turkey Recipes?

Question

I am beginning to get my Thanksgiving Dinner menu planned for this year, and I was wondering if anyone had a good Turkey recipe... I generally just use water and butter with mine... Someone told me to Roast it in 7UP instead of water.... Do any of you have a Unique Great tasting recipe you would like to share?

Answer 1

To help make the skin a rich, golden brown, I rub the turkey skin w/ soy sauce and little canola oil before placing it in a roasting pan.

I baste the turkey w/ turkey or chicken stock. Then I like to use a little bit apple juice/cider to baste the turkey during the last half hour of roasting. The sugar in the apple juice/cider caramelizes so the skin browns & crisps even more.

My mother in law recommends laying thick strips of baking across the turkey breast. As the bacon melts, it bastes and flavors the turkey. Remove the bacon once it has cooked so it doesn't burn & to allow the turkey skin to brown.
