New Blog!

This is a group of 13 friends and neighbors that get together once a month to enjoy good food and share recipes. Each month a different girl hosts and does all the cooking. Every few months we have a "couples night" which means we get to bring our husbands and two girls work together to host the increased crowd. By the years end, each of us has only had to cook one great meal and in exchange you get to enjoy 9 others!

Jennie Russon's Turkey

Heres the instructions for the turkey I did: Read it all the way through I'm all over the place!
You have to marinade the turkey 24 hours before you cook it.  So make sure it is all thawed out the day before.
Wash your turkey, get a turkey bag big enough for your turkey fill it with 2 Tblsp of flour and shake it around.  Mix the following marinade:
1/3 c. Salt (I know it's a lot of salt)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 C. Vegetable Oil
1 T. Sage
1 T. Rosemary
2 Bayleaves, crushed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. sweet basil
Then put your turkey in the bag and rub the marinade all over inside and outside your turkey.  Put the tie thing on the bag. Place your turkey upside down in the fridge on a cookie sheet then in the morning turn it right side up.  Follow the cooking instructions on the bag for the turkey.  When it is time to put your turkey in the oven open the bag and put pats of butter on the top of the turkey (about 1/2 to 1 cube of butter).  Cut slits in the top for ventilation and cook it for the time on the box.  When it is done I drain the drippings, it's a lot, and add some whorschire sauce and make a rue out of cornstarch and water.  I add potato water and make my gravy from that it's really simple!  Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving everyone - if you have any questions call me.
