I made my first Thanksgiving turkey when I was 17, and it took me three years to perfect the most amazing..moist..fall off the bone, oven baked turkey. Ever.
Lucky you guys...Ive decided to share my recipe in detail.
I promise if you make your turkey this way everyone will be pleased!
Squeeze the juice of two oranges
Add 2 sticks of butter, salt, 2 cloves of garlic, oregano, pepper, and juice to food processor
Spoon into a bowl and set aside
separate skin from flesh
Make 2 in patties with the butter mixture
push butter under skin in all big pockets
Smoosh the butter on the outside and rub the turkey down
Cut a whole onion in quarters and stuff garlic in the middle
Push inside turkey cavity
Slice top of orange off and stuff in also
Pull out your handy dandy Sazon
Rub er down
Add Salt, and pepper
keep rubbing.
Foil and refrigerate.
Stay tuned tomorrow for cooking..and eating :)
I'm dying here! Did you cook that turkey or not? :)
ReplyDeleteI cooked my first "butter-stuffed-skin" turkey this year -- I used a cardamom/orange compound butter I'd made. But I sure didn't rub him allllllllll over with that yummy-looking orange stuff! THAT looks incredible!
