2) An TURKEY
Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be
the same without that delicious
turkey as the main attraction of
the seasonal feast.
Whether you like it stuffed or
unstuffed there dre certain
techniques to follow when
preparing a turkey to bring out
the best flavor. ;
The fastest method to thaw a
turkey is to let it stand in cold
water for 30 minutes per pound
changing the water occasionally.
It can also be thawed by placing
it in the refrigerator for three to
four days. Regardless of which
method is used, the turkey
should be refrigerated or cooked
as soon as it is thawed.
After thawing, remove the
giblets from the bird’s cavity and
set aside for use in the gravy or
stuffing. Rinse bird with cold
water and pat dry.
If the turkey is ot be stuffed,
do it just before roasting. Fill
the neck cavity lightly with stuff-
ing and fasten neck skin to the
back and proceed to lightly fill
the large cavity.
Fold the bird’s wingtips across
the back, tuck drumsticks under
band of skin at tail or tie them to
the tail. Place turkey, breast side
up, on rack in shallow roasting
pan and brush skin with butter
or fat. If a meat thermometer is
used, insert in the thickest part
of the thigh, making sure the
bulb does not touch the bone.
Bake turkey in preheated 325°
oven, boasting occasionally. DO
NOT add water ir civer turkey
during roasting as this causes a
steaming or stewing effect
resulting in a much different
flavor. If it starts to brown too
much then cover loosely with a
- tent of aluminum foil.
Turkey is done when the meat
thermometer reaches 180°185°.
If a meat thermometer is not us-
ed, doneness may be tested by
pressing the thigh between
thumb and forefinger; the turkey
is done if the meat is soft.
