Turkey Thursday

Today is going to be fruit-heavy until I get to the Turkey.

Bowl of Watermelon. Then a half Bowl of Watermelon (Cherie got the other half).

Then I nuked some Asparagus, and forgot to take a picture.

Then some more Watermelon... and it is only 12:47 now.

I held off until 3:45, and had a lot of Frozen Grapes.

Then I went home and waited for it to be 7:15 so I could break out the Turkey. You can read about the prep work here and here.

It was beautiful. First, I grabbed the neck while the rest of the bird cooled off.

Then, I lopped off a drumstick.

Then, I sliced some of the breast. I had that with both Dijon and German mustards.

After that, I carved myself a wing.

Then I cut up some of the thigh for some dark meat.

Then I was just about done. I sliced off a few pieces for Brandi at the office. There's a chance I had another nibble while that was happening. Or six nibbles. We're having pizza tomorrow at work, and she's on a pizza-free diet, so she asked me to bring her some. Here's what the Turkey looked like when I wrapped it up to put it in the refrigerator:

Is it the greatest Turkey every? No, but it is very good. And I bought it months ago, so it is kind of free. Did I like my new try at marinade? Yes. Is the injection method better? Probably, but this was diet-er. And I have lots of Turkey for the next few days. And I am full now.
