Tip for Turkey Day

Here is day 2 in our series of turkey creations for your thanksgiving. For those of you who like to do the tried and true (lame and boring) turkey we will humor your desires and describe our version.

Traditional Turkey

Ingredients:
1 Turkey
1 onion
1 head of celery
2 carrots
2 lb. stale bread
dried sage
2 eggs
2 c. chicken broth
4 cloves garlic
salt and pepper

Method of Preparation

Preheat oven to 350. Take all of the vegetable and dice them up and mince the garlic (For those who are short on time, toss into the food processor and pulse it a few times.) Crumble the bread into a bowl, add vegetables, broth, eggs, sage, salt and pepper and mix up with your hands until well blended. Take turkey out and remove the giblets and rinse the bird inside and out and then dry. Take the bread mixture and stuff the main cavity of the bird loosely until full. Place bird in a roasting pan and cover and put into oven and cook to an internal temperature of 160 and the stuffing is 170. When the bird's temp is 120 remove the lid. While the bird is cooking, take some broth and the giblets and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes and then remove the giblets. Use this to baste the turkey. When turkey is done take out of the pan and remove the stuffing into a bowl to serve and let bird rest until dinner. Take the juices in the pan and simmer on the stove and thicken for your gravy. Serve with whatever accoutrements you like. Enjoy
