TURKEY TIPS
- Don’t be afraid of turkey!
- Anna has perfected her turkey recipe over the years.
- You need to dry brine the turkey.
- If you have the first Eat Happy book, go look at the Easiest Roast Chicken recipe.
- Take it out today. Pour salt on inside and outside and put in back in the fridge.
- Dry brine is much easier than wet brine.
- This cures the skin, makes it moister and more flavorful.
- Get out a stick or two of butter with your turkey in front of you.Â
- Tuck the wings underneath.Â
- Poke a finger between skin and meat on breast, shove in pats of butter.
- Rub the rest of your butter all over the turkey.
- If you have anchovy paste, add a tablespoon to your butter before you shove it under the skin/rub the rest over. You can add fresh herbs too.
- Or, put quarter of onion and some herbs in the cavity.Â
- Put turkey in oven for 30 or 45 minutes before you baste it.Â
- But make sure the roasting pan has some chicken stock in.
- At least half a cup to coat the bottom of the pan!
- But make sure the roasting pan has some chicken stock in.
- Anna only bastes every 20 to 30 minutes.
- She takes it fully out of the oven to do this.
- 12 lb bird takes two and a half to three hours.
