Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, when people have dinner, majority celebrate it with a turkey! I did too! I thought it was pretty satisfying even though it was a bit dry.
This time we marinated it differently since my brother and I have been watching FoodNetwork a lot lately (almost every single night and they have been talking about making Thanksgiving dishes nonstop!) It was interesting though because it would get you thinking on what to do and what not. For our turkey marinating process, we used: olive oil, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and unsalted butter. It was a pretty process well for it because I didn’t have to use my hands, instead my brother did. :) I just prepared it for my brother. I melted the unsalted butter and mixed in the herbs, salt, and pepper. I first poured the olive oil and my brother rubbed the turkey and then used the stuff I prepared and patted it onto the turkey. We then let the turkey set for a day and it was ready to bake! We baked it a little over 4 hours, it was a 17 pounds turkey; so I wanted to make sure that it well cooked instead I made it a little dry. But hey, we have to make use of the gravy to moist the turkey. Hehe. ;)
It was overall a good and delicious bird! Hehe, but I don’t know if I want to make it for next Thanksgiving. I think I want to stick with ham; it’s easier! Hehehe. =P
