I'm Roasting a Turkey

Anonymous032819 — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 22:21:27 GMT

I just put a 19 pound bird in to the oven.

First, I let it soak overnight in a brine, then after I rinsed it off, I injected it with Zatarain's Creole Butter marinade.

Then I let it rest for a few hours.

I then shoved about two dozen cloves of garlic up its backside, before massaging butter on the skin, and sprinkling salt, pepper and paprika.

I am cooking it inside a roasting bag.

It should be nice and juicy and flavorful!

I can hardly wait!

Sounds delicious! Are you having guests?

I'm suddenly in the mood to make a roast (beef or chicken). I haven't done so since early spring and have been eating mostly salads and grilled food over the summer.

It's gotten cooler here the last week or so and one can sense fall in the air!

@Anonymous032819 As a party of one, what are you going to do with all the turkey meat? I accidently bought a 19 lb ham at Easter. I've still got some in the freezer but I'm thoroughly sick of it. I've made ham-everything.

I have a Food Saver.

This way, all I have to do is heat and eat.

Sounds delicious! Are you having stuffing too?

Thanks for the reminder to buy a turkey. It's finally cool enough here in CT. I cook real food for our Golden Retriever and I'll save some of the usual expense sharing the turkey meat with her!

No, it's just the turkey.

I love turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo sandwiches on multigrain bread. 😋

The turkey was literally falling off of the bone, it was so tender and delicious!

I wish that I could send you all some!

I must dissent. That doesn't sound at all appealing or appetizing to me on this Hot Summer Day! Get back to me in a couple/few months, LOL!

@Anonymous032819 Nom nom. Sounds delicious. Btw, I, too, use cooking bags. Makes cleanup so much easier. I find it also cuts down on the roasting time.
