Super Juice turkey with Brandy Stuffing
Ingredients
Fresh turkey turns out the best if you can't get one, a 20-25 lb Butterball will do. Although many turkeys claim to be self-basting, you still have to baste it yourself.
Directions
Take your turkey out Thanksgiving morning and wash thoroughly. Pull back the skin on both sides near the back of the turkey. After you fold back skin, cut a stick of butter in half. Place _ of the stick of butter on each side, then pull the skin back over the butter. Take 1 cup of Virgin olive oil mix with _ cup white wine, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika. Mix together well. Pour liquid contents over the top of turkey, place turkey aside. At this point, you can pre-heat your oven to 350. Next, you want to prepare the stuffing. You will need 1 package of stuffing creme and add the butter, salt, pepper, onion, carrots, etc. Add one egg lightly beaten. Remove from stove, cover with d. You can add hot "Italian Sausage" cut or diced if desired. Mix stuffing well, prepare to stuff turkey. The last ingredient to add to the stuffing is the Brandy. Pour Brandy over stuffing and mix well. You should be able to get entire contents of stuffing inside the turkey. Place turkey in the oven at 350. After about 1 hour, open the oven and baste again with some melted butter and/or olive oil. After 2 hours Take the turkey out of the oven, remove the stuffing, place aside. Return turkey to oven without stuffing and continue to Bake for a total of about 5 hours. Remember about once every hour baste the turkey with the oil or more butter. For example, if you put the turkey in the oven at 7:00 am it should be done around 1:00 pm. I normally add cooking to turkey because opening the oven to baste causes it to lose heat, thus slowing down the cooking process. Remove turkey from the oven, cover with foil, let sit for about 30 minutes. If you begin to slice turkey immediately removing from the oven it tends to cremelt in your Mouth"! Happy Thanksgiving.
