T-day Turkey

{**Cooking a turkey may be one of those things that

everyone knows how to do already-- but I didn't!

This year was my first turkey, and I just wanted it to 

be flavorful and juicy. I used some tips from Food

Network's Thanksgiving Live show, as well

as some tips from friends and family... and it was

PERFECT! So, just in case you're like me and don't know,

here it is!}

Holiday Turkey

---

Turkey

1 onion, largely chopped

1 lemon/lime, quartered

1 orange, quartered

Garlic (I was out of fresh, so I used

a little minced from a jar.)

Rosemary (I used dried, and I

loved the slightly sage-y flavor)

Thyme (Just a little bit)

Oil or butter. Or both.

S&P

Any other seasonings/herbs you like

---

First, after cleaning the turkey, I rotated

putting onion, lemon, and orange into the cavity

(squeezing the juice of the citrus out into the

cavity before tossing it in.) I also added the garlic,

rosemary and thyme with those, too. I filled the 

cavity completely, then tied the legs back together.

Next, shook a couple of tablespoons of flour around

in the turkey bag and placed the bag in the pan.

Brush or rub some oil or butter (or both) onto the skin

of the turkey. Add salt and any other seasonings you like.

(I used S&P, a little seasoning salt, garlic salt

and onion salt.)

Place the turkey in the bag, add a 1/2-1 c. water and seal.

Cut a couple of slits in the top of the bag.

Cook at 350 for 15 minutes per pound.

This was super easy, and so yummy. I'd make

this regularly if I could!

Thanksgiving success ;)
