Turkey, Roasting Bag Method
"No more dry, overcooked turkey! This method may not produce the photo-perfect brown skin shown on the Butterball commercials, but it will guarantee the juiciest, most flavorful turkey you've ever served. With excellent drippings for your gravy and noodles as well." - Rhonda
Turkey on the Grill
"Love this cooking method! The turkey comes out perfectly moist... and tasty, too! It's a very easy way to cook a turkey and frees up space in the oven." - The Kitchen Crew
Oil-Less Fried Turkey
"The "unfried" turkey cooked in an oil-less fryer comes out tender and juicy on the inside with a deliciously crisp skin. We recommend injecting the turkey to really get flavor into the meat. The cooking process seals in all the flavor and moisture." - The Kitchen Crew
Smoked Turkey Breast
"We love a good smoked turkey at Thanksgiving but it could take six to eight hours to smoke a whole turkey plus prepping the smoker. My poor husband would have to get up at 4 am to have the turkey ready by lunch on Thanksgiving. A Smoked Turkey Breast is our answer to that problem and nobody has to get up at 4 am. The small smoked breast is just enough to satisfy everyone." - Debbie
Apple and Herb Infused Roast Turkey
"This is my holiday roast turkey. It is so flavorful and moist. My family loves the infusion of fruit, and herb flavor. I know it's a little unconventional to use chicken broth, but I think it enhances the flavor without taking away the natural flavor of the turkey." - Tammy
Easy Turkey With Apples and Glaze
"A very easy, yummy, and moist turkey with a hint of fall." - Sherry
2-Hour Turkey, Really.
"The flavor is all that you would expect from a well-cooked Thanksgiving turkey, but the technique is so wonderfully different!" - The Kitchen Crew
