Hi All,
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0I do not care much for
premixed seasonings that your purchase in the grocery store. I like
doing it myself much better. (I am an amateur cook, but am slowly
getting better at it.)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0May I impose upon the group for
recommendations as to what seasonings (herbs, spices, etc.) go best with
Turkey? (I don't care much for Sage.)
Many thanks,
--Tony------------------------------------------------------
response:Nite before I would prepare my own herb butter using fresh -
not bottle- rosemary, parsley,thyme,& marjoram.
After washing turkey throughly and pat drying I take my hand & carefully
go under the skin to loosing then take the butter and pat on the meat.
Afterwards I lay the rest of my fresh herbs on top of butter then
lightly press down on shin to spread the butter evenly.
I finish this with rubbing bird with the rest of my herb butter and
poultry seasoning.
For the cavity I throw in a small onion & baby carrot & combination of
sliced apples, oranges which I prep first in a water bath in microwave
oven first on high just for a few min.'s.
Finish with using the oven turkey bag.
