Sleepy T
....zzzz...
One of my favorite days of the year. Turkey, Pumpkin Pie and hopefully watching the Cowpies getting their butts kicked.
I am always in charge of the bird(s) for our brood which is usually 25-30.
I use a fresh poultry blend (thyme, rosemary, sage), some fresh garlic, and a little onion, minced finely. Incorporate that mixture with a shitload of slightly melted butter and throw in some lemon juice, salt and pepper and let it set up to a nice workable consistency.
I then spread this heavenly concoction all over the bird, under the skin, on top of the skin, both sides. Salt the cavity well, throw some garlic, a halved onion, lemon rinds, and herb twigs into the cavity. Bake until golden brown basting and injecting often. I cook to about 165ish (yes...slightly under) and let it rest 15-30 before carving. A tried and true recipe. My bunch loves it and looks forward to it every year.
I don't stuff the turkey and bringing over cooked meat in my house is grounds for getting bitch slapped.
What are your go to Turkey Day recipes????
