Merry Christmas! Hope your day was spent with people you love and full of blessings and cheer. We had a wonderful day spent with family and close friends.
This was my first year cooking for the family and I have to say that it seemed to have been rather successful. I was told that all the food made them feel as if they were eating at Whole Foods, which I took as a compliment. My husband cooked a delicious 21 pound turkey for us all.
Roasted Turkey
Ingredients:
- Turkey (ours was 21 lbs)
- Wild Rice Stuffing
- 6 fresh Rosemary branches
- 1/4 cup Dried herb mixture from my mom's garden (basil, oregano, thyme, sage)
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
Directions:
- Place wild rice stuffing inside turkey along with 3 branches of rosemary
- Cut slits in the top of the turkey and place the remaining rosemary branches in the slits
- Sprinkle the top of the turkey with the dried herbs and sea salt
- Roast the turkey at 350 degrees basting the turkey periodically with the juices that accumulate in the baking pan.
- Place a foil teepee over the top of the turkey while baking to help make turkey more juicy.
- Bake for about 5 hours or follow the directions for the size of your turkey.
Pura Vida!
