Nice Little Surprise Today
Hubs’ cousin sent her turkey leftovers home with him today and we just had that for dinner. Since I only made one roast chicken and one turkey drumstick for each of us, it was sooo good to get a second round of turkey. We don’t eat a lot of turkey, so I do not make more than just a serving for each of us. One drumstick each is all you get here.
Some people have a great knack for making a tender moist turkey and his cousin did a really great job. She probably bought a fresh one and brined hers. My biggest and deepest roasting pan would still need to have the turkey cut into pieces to get it in the brine, so on the occasions when one is cooked here, it goes into a cooking bag. That works pretty well for me, but then I have all these leftovers no one wants to eat.
Here’s a video on how to brine your turkey. I have the big roasting pan to hold it, but will have to get the really large roasting bags. Next we will have to dismantle the drawers in the refrigerator or maybe just leave it in the garage if the weather is cold enough?
