I needed to get back on track, so I went Back to Basics.
A Bowl of Watermelon.
Two Hard-Boiled Eggs. Another Bowl of Watermelon.
This was all a big set up for the evening's activity: Turkey Time! I had put one in the refrigerator to defrost before I went away for the weekend. It was ready.
I made a marinade of some Thai Pork Seasoning, Water, and a little Hot Sauce and popped it in the Turkey Roaster for four hours.
While it was cooling, I had the Turkey Neck.
Here's what it looked like before carving:
I hacked off the Leg and Some Breast, and later, I had some more Assorted Turkey Parts.
Turkeys are easy to cook, and delicious. And low on points.
Here's my step count. I spent quite a bit of time staring at Loretta, so not a lot of steps.
The turkey looks pretty good and moist. Did you use a syringe to inject some marinade? My turkey always come out too dry - specially the breast.

This is one of my first non-syringe Turkeys. I just went all Psycho on it and made a lot of holes before pouring on the Marinade.
DeleteBut what ALWAYS seems to keep it moist is the electric Turkey Roaster that I bought at WalMart for $20 a few years ago. They probably $35 now, but well worth it. The only problem is where to keep the roaster when it is not roasting.
LOL. I do that with chicken breasts - I poke holes with a fork before putting it in a zip bag with Mojo Criollo.
DeleteDoes the Turkey Roaster work the same way as the New Wave oven? I have one of those.

I've never heard of a New Wave Oven, but I just Googled it. My Roaster is nothing like that. It's just a regular electric oven. But it holds an 18-pound Turkey, and once I learned not to peek all the time, it deliciously cooks the Turkey in the amount of time it says on the Turkey package. And it's always juicy! And easy to clean.
DeleteMine is not made by Hamilton Beach, but this one looks just like mine.
