Re:Christmas Recipes - 11/12/07 19:51 Roast Turkey with Herbal Rub


Ingredients:
1 13-Pound WHOLE TURKEY fresh or thawed
1 Medium onion quartered
1 lemon quartered
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 Teaspoon dried thyme
1 Teaspoon dried tarragon
1 Tablespoon dried rosemary
1 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325.
Remove giblets and neck from turkey and reserve for broth.

Rinse turkey with cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place onion and lemon quarters in neck and body cavities.

In a small bowl, mix oil with herbs, salt and pepper. With your finger tips, gently loosen skin from the breast without pulling off the skin.

Place 1 tablespoon of herb mixture under skin; replace skin. Rub cavities and outside of turkey with remaining herb mixture.

Secure the neck skin to the back with skewers. Fold wings under back of turkey. Place legs in tucked position. May be prepared to this point, covered and refrigerated for several hours.

Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a large shallow (no more than 2-1/2 inches) deep roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, being careful it does not touch the bone.

Cover bird with a loose tent of foil. Roast turkey in a preheated 325 degree F. oven for about 2-1/2 hours.

Remove foil and baste bird with pan juices. Continue to roast for about another hour until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F. in the thigh.

Remove turkey from oven and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Transfer to a large platter and serve with gravy.

Re:Christmas Recipes - 12/12/07 21:37 Thank you for those recipes i think it's a great idea we can now share cooking tips and recipes

So here some tips on freezing: Everything you need to know

These simple dos and don'ts will help you keep your freezer full of dinner options.

Freezing DOS
DO label items before adding them to your freezer. Include a description, the serving size and the date.
DO keep a list of what is in your freezer and the dates things were added. Cross things off as you remove them.
DO store similar foods together – staples on one shelf, casseroles and prepared food on another.
DO freeze foods in individual portions. You can thaw only what you need and your thawing time is shortened.

Freezing DON'TS
DON'T choose containers that are too large for the food. Squeeze excess air from freezer bags before sealing.
DON'T fill your freezer with baking dishes. Line dishes with foil before assembling a casserole, wrap and freeze the finished casserole and then lift from dish and store in a resealable freezer-weight plastic bag.
DON'T fill containers of soups, stews and sauces to the very brim. Leave 1 inch of space to allow for expansion during freezing
