Does anyone have a recipe for turkey meatloaf that does not call for eggs?

I'm on a special diet and cannot eat dairy (including eggs), tomatoes, or really any processed food. I have a hankering for some veggie turkey meatloaf and am looking for a recipe with no eggs. Will oil work?


Thanks!Does anyone have a recipe for turkey meatloaf that does not call for eggs?
Turkey Meatloaf





1 medium onion, quartered


2 carrots, each cut in 2 or 3 pieces


2 stalks celery, each cut in 2 or 3 pieces


1 handful spinach, washed


3/4 pound ground turkey breast


3/4 pound ground turkey thigh meat


1 cup cooked quinoa


2 teaspoons dried thyme


2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


1/2 teaspoon ground sage


1 teaspoon sea salt


4 tablespoons organic ketchup, plus more for brushing








1. Combine onion, carrots, and celery in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped (do not pur茅e).


Transfer to a large bowl.





2. Preheat oven to 375掳.


Place spinach in food processor and pulse until finely chopped.


Add to onion mixture.


Add remaining ingredients to bowl and mix with your fingers.


Form into a large loaf and transfer to a 9x5-inch loaf pan.


Brush with additional ketchup.





Bake for about 1 hour, until a meat thermometer reads 165掳.


Cool 5 minutes before slicing.Does anyone have a recipe for turkey meatloaf that does not call for eggs?
The egg in meatloaf is a binder that helps hold everything together, so oil will not substitute. ( and you dont' really want the extra fat anyway) I think I'd just omit the egg and expect the meatloaf to crumble...
you can use some bread crumbs and a little bit of water. that'll work just fine.
You CAN subsitute oil with eggs. Just a hint though, with some flavoring.

Need a no salt recipe for turkey burgers?

My hubby cannot have any extra salt right now, doctors orders.


We are making turkey burger patties and veggies for supper tonight. How can I season the turkey patties to taste good? We have LOTS of that Mrs Dash seasoning that has no salt in it, plus garlic, dehydrated onion,etc...need a good recipe please!Need a no salt recipe for turkey burgers?
add fresh garlic and onions to your recipe.





you want to forget about the lack of salt,


so add much spices and lemon juice.Need a no salt recipe for turkey burgers?
Take how ever much of the turkey you need. Add: Oninos, finely chopped, parsley, a dash of pepper, celery (as needed). On top of the burgers, put cheese, lettuce, and tomoatoe. Thats how I make them and they are so good!
I like to add, diced onion, finely chopped spinach, mushrooms and low sodium cheese- goat when I can find it. Also a teaspoon of tarragon or rosemary can make it more flavorful. Mrs. Dash goes well with any of the items above.
Try some real onions and red peppers that have been satued in olive oil and add them to the meat, it will mositen it up alot and add great flavor.





You could also buy some jarred roasted red peppers and add them for flovor.





You could also buy low sodium bacon and cook it crisp and crumble it and it to them.





Good luck.

    Usually have lots of fun with guests until late into the evening, so I put my turkey in the oven before we go to bed!





    stuff it and add strips of bacon over the top. Then I cover it with foil and put in the oven at midnight at 275掳. It bastes itself and is ready to serve, moist and tender every time! I serve dinner the next day around 3, and I've never had anything but the best compliments. 35 years I've done it this way. You just add a little flour to the drippings and you have dynamite gravy too. The turkey is the most tender you'll ever have. Enjoy!
    Check Martha Stewart. She has a good recipe.
    Use the Turkey Size oven bags. Pull the timer out of the bird and use the guide on the bag. Don鈥檛 overcook! Follow instructions on the oven bag box! You can't go wrong and it cooks more quickly than the traditional way.





    Start with a thawed turkey. Remove the giblet bag from the cavity. Check both cavities! Rinse the bird inside and out. Check the big cavity to see if the kidneys are still in there and stuck near the backbone. Pull them out and discard. Pat the bird dry with paper towels. Slather the skin with butter.





    Sprinkle the cavity very liberally with Poultry Seasoning, Ground Sage, Salt and Pepper and a little Old Bay Seasoning.





    I make the stuffing/dressing separately - so


    Put 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks with the green tops, a half apple and a half onion in the cavity. Add a handful of parsley. Add a pat of butter.





    Pour a can of vegetable broth (or turkey broth or chicken broth) in the cavity and inside the bag (once the turkey is in the bag).





    Add the neck from the giblet packet to the cooking bag and put a few more pieces of carrot, celery, onion and apple around inside the bag. Chop and fry the rest of the giblets and use them in your stuffing/dressing or feed them to the dog/cat.





    Seal up the bag and cook according to the guide on the bag. Cut the bag open at the last 30-minutes and slather the bird with more butter and let the skin crisp up. Check for doneness with a regular kitchen thermometer.





    Note: sometime the bird will give off a lot of juices, if so, just carefully open the bag and remove some of the juices. Save them for the step below. Reseal the bag and continue cooking.





    When bird is done, remove it from the bag put it on your serving tray and let it sit for about 15 - 20 minutes covered with foil and a few clean dishtowels before carving. Remove and discard the vegetables in the cavity.





    When you cut the bag open, put a couple of cans of vegetable broth (or turkey broth or chicken broth) on the stove and simmer. Add the juices from the bag. Discard the vegetables and the neck bone. Skim the fat, adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, bring to a boil, then thicken with cornstarch and you have the perfect gravy.





    Save the carcass, any leftover meat, any leftover gravy and make soup the next day using this recipe:








    Turkey Soup





    2 quarts vegetable stock


    1 turkey carcass


    1 (10-ounce) box frozen mixed vegetables


    1/2 cup rice


    2 cups cooked turkey, cubed


    1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning


    2 teaspoons dried thyme


    Salt and pepper, to taste





    Combine the vegetable stock and the turkey carcass in a large soup pot over low heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.





    Add the remaining ingredients to the stock. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
    Simple, brine and roast. Brining the turkey in a solution of water to cover, cup+ of salt, 1/2 cup sugar for 2 hours , imparts flavor and moisture into the bird. Roast, using a high heat first then low heat method, first breast side down, then wing side up, other wing up, finally breast side up. About 45 min for the 1st 3 but that depends on the size of the bird. See the website listed below. Cook the dressing on the side, do not stuff the bird.
    Yes, I do! In an Oven Bag.


    I won't cook a Turkey any other way!!!

    i did this last yr and my turkey was very moist. I took an orange and poked holes in it with a knife, then microwaved it for a minute then stuffed it into the turkey, and cooked the turkey as usual. As the turkey cooks in the oven, the orange is moistening the inside meat of the turkey. I got that tip from ';the naked chef';. Just be careful taking the orange out of the microwave, its really hot! I dont know if you stuff your turkey, I didnt.
    I've been making Thanksgiving turkeys with this recipe for years. Always turns out great. -----





    10-12 pound whole turkey


    1/2 cup butter, cubed


    2 apples, cored and wedged


    1 onion, wedged


    1 TBS garlic powder


    Salt and Pepper


    2/3 of a bottle of champagne


    1 oven bag large enough for turkey


    1 roasting pan large enough for turkey


    1 meat thermometer, optional





    Preheat oven to 350. Move oven racks down far enough so turkey will fit inside the oven.





    Rinse turkey, pat dry with paper towels. Be sure to remove the neck giblets. Gently loosen turkey breast skin, and insert pieces of butter between the skin and breast. We shove them wherever we can fit them under the skin. Place apple and onion wedges inside the turkey's cavity. Sprinkle outside of turkey with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place turkey breast side down in a roasting bag and put bag into your roasting pan. Pour champagne into the bag - make sure you hold opening up so it doesn't pour back out of the bag. Drink rest of champagne yourself, I always make mimosas with it. :) Close bag and tie with its twist tie.





    Bake turkey 3 to 3 1/2 hours at 350. It's a good idea to have a meat thermometer and check periodically -- the turkey is done when thigh temp is 180 degrees. One year, using a different oven, the turkey was done in less than 3 hours.





    About 1/2 hour before turkey is done, take turkey out of oven. Cut open the bag - be careful of the steam coming out - and tear open enough so that most of turkey is exposed. Return to oven to let the turkey brown and continue cooking 1/2 hour.





    Remove turkey from oven. Remove from the oven bag and let stand for about 15 minutes before carving.
    What I normally do is put butter under the skin of the breast put a little water in the bottom of the pan with some oil. I prefer to not cook the stuffing in the turkey, I feel that it draws to much moistness out of bird and makes the stuffing all soggy. Cook it covered for the first hours, depending on how big you bird is, leave in be for the first hour of cooking then every hour after baste, then take the cover off the last half hour to brown. what I use to make it brown is paprika
    Turkey is easy. The main thing you do differently is to use a piece of cheesecloth to protect the breast from drying. Soak the cheesecloth in shortening or olive oil and cover the breast. Then be sure to baste every 30 minutes. Lift the cheesecloth while basting so it doesn't stick to the meat.





    Other than that, cook at about 325 degrees and 14 miutes per pound for unstuffed, 22 minutes per pound stuffed. Remove the cheesecloth for the last 45 minutes so the breast can brown.
    You might want to search the new Yahoo! Foods (http://food.yahoo.com). There are some very neat recipes in there, my favourite being Martha's.
    I put the turkey in a roasting pan with a lid or make a lid with aluminum foil....





    Clean your bird..throw away all parts inside..as those parts have growth hormones in them......stuff the turkey with onions and bell pepper, salt , pepper, and garlic (powder) and sage... then rub it down with olive oil and salt and pepper and use sage ....no prepared dressing (that's in another casserole dish).





    I then pour 2 cans (1 quart )of chicken broth in the bottom of the pan..it's self basting....





    I put the turkey on for 5 or 6 hours at 350* according to how big it is (24 pounds) and I work on the others dishes to accompany my bird...





    I check on the liquid....and when its done..I take the top or lid off and let it brown for 20 minutes





    My turkeys fall apart.....but so what...our family always cuts them up before they reach the table anyway. It's easier for everyone
    Use the cooking bag and follow the directions on the box. I struggled for years to get a turkey ';just right'; - moist, but browned, basting with butter ---- ugh.


    The bags are great. No muss, no fuss and a moist turkey with the skin being browned. I wouldn't put the dressing in the turkey though. Possible problems with samonella.

    * 1 cup brown sugar


    * peppercorns


    * 1 onion


    * 1 carrot


    * bunch of scallions


    * one hot pepper





    PREPARATION:


    Add enough water (about 1 1/2 gallons) to cover the bird. Place water and ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

    Hot %26amp; Spicy Poultry Injection





    This injection marinade adds real heat under the skin of any poultry. If you want a little fire in your bird this is a great sauce to use. Make sure you only put small amounts in each place end up with large pockets of hot sauce.





    INGREDIENTS:





    * 1 cup chicken broth


    * 4 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce


    * 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


    * 1 tablespoon garlic powder


    * 1 tablespoon salt


    * 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper





    PREPARATION:


    Combine all ingredients and stir until the salt disolves.

    Custer's Old Fashioned Turkey Rub





    From Lee Custer





    This rub combines everthing you need fpr a delicious turkey. Remember when rubbing poultry you want to get it under the skin. Skin blocks flavor, and while you might get some tasty skin it won't help the meat any.





    INGREDIENTS:





    * 1 tablespoon garlic powder


    * 2 teaspoons seasoned salt


    * 1 teaspoons poultry seasoning


    * 1 teaspoon paprika


    * 1 teaspoon salt


    * 1/2 teaspoon pepper


    * 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


    * 1/4 teaspoon basil





    PREPARATION:


    Combine all ingredients and store in an air tight container. Makes enough rub for a 20 pound turkey.

    Barb's deep fried turkey recipe and tips. Always read the fryer manufacturer's directions thoroughly before setting up your fryer and getting started.





    INGREDIENTS:





    * whole turkey, completely thawed


    * Custer's rub


    * peanut oil





    PREPARATION:Get a huge pot, like a stock pot. Put the turkey (completely thawed) in the pot, add water to completely surround the turkey. Look at how much water you added; that's how much oil you will need. Pour out the water and dry off the turkey. 2. We like to put a seasoned rub on the turkey.





    3. Fill the pot with as much oil as you need..The more the better. This is where it gets expensive, because you need at least a couple gallons of oil. The better quality oils (like peanut oil) will get hotter, and work better, but you can use a cheaper oil. Now, get the oil as hot as possible, and as close to 400 as possible without excessive smoking.





    4. Turn off the burner (this is a precaution to prevent spatters from hitting an open flame). Add the turkey. Now, we used a 2 by 4 piece of wood (thru the wrapped legs) to lower the turkey into the oil. WARNING: the oil really splatters out at this point, so STAY back. This is MESSY! Once the spattering has stopped, turn the burner back on.





    5. After you add the turkey, the oil temp. will drop rapidly. That's why you want it as hot as possible to begin with. Hopefully, it will remain around 350 degrees, so it sears (sp?) the skin, and the meat does NOT get greasy.





    6. Cook for about 3 min per pound, + 5 minutes. It the turkey is over 18 lbs, you might want to go 3 min per pound +10 or 15 minutes.


    Turkey done this way is very tender and moist, and amazingly not greasy...





    Happy Thanksgiving!Perfect turkey recipe?? i want a good turkey!?
    All you need now is for someone to come and cook it for you. Ask little and you'll get alot
    I would not inject it, but regardless, one tip I can offer is that the finished bird will be much improved if it rests for about 1/2 hour after all this. To do this, place it on a platter, cover over with foil and cover the foil with a heavy towel. Leave it for about 1/2 hour.


    Part of the improvement is that the juices that escape will be reabsorbed...

    Turkey Vegetable Soup with Stuffing Dumplings


    Ingredients


    Carcass from one 12-14 pound roasted turkey, picked clean


    2 large onions, one quartered and one chopped


    4 peeled carrots, 2 coarsely chopped and 2 sliced


    4 stalks celery, 2coarsely chopped and 2 sliced


    6 garlic cloves, 4 smashed and 2 chopped


    1 bay leaf


    10 whole black peppercorns


    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


    2 large eggs


    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more as needed


    1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed


    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


    2 cups leftover stuffing


    2 sprigs fresh thyme


    2 cups shredded leftover turkey meat


    1 cup leftover corn kernels


    Directions


    Put the turkey carcass, quartered onions, coarsely chopped carrots and celery, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a large stockpot and add enough cold water to just cover, about 2 quarts. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and strain the solids from the broth. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and reserve; you should have about 10-12 cups broth.





    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some black pepper together until smooth. Add the stuffing and mix until well combined; cover and reserve.





    Wipe the stockpot clean with a paper towel. Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the sliced carrots and celery, thyme sprigs, and reserved broth and bring to a simmer; cook vegetables are just soft, about 10 minutes.





    Roll level tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into balls with wet hands (see note) and drop into the simmering soup; cook until dumplings float, 3-4 minutes. Gently stir in the turkey meat, corn, and season with salt and pepper, and simmer until heated through. Serve immediately.





    Note: Moistness of stuffing can vary; if the dumpling dough is too soft to roll, add flour a teaspoon at a time until it is firm enough to hold its shape while rolling. You could probably adjust the amounts to account for the fact that you already ate some of your bird.

    sage and onion :D





    Ingredients


    4 large onions


    10 sage-leaves


    125g/录lb of breadcrumbs


    40g/1陆oz butter


    salt and pepper to taste


    1 egg





    Method


    1. Peel the onions, put them into boiling water, let them simmer for 5 minutes or rather longer, and just before they are taken out, put in the sage-leaves for a minute or two to take off their rawness.


    2. Chop both these very fine, add the bread, seasoning and butter, and work the whole lot together with the yolk of an egg, when the stuffing will be ready for use.


    3. It should be rather highly seasoned, and the sage-leaves should be very finely chopped.


    4. Many cooks do not parboil the onions in the manner just stated, but merely use them raw. The stuffing then, however is not nearly so mild, and to many tastes, its strong flavour would be very objectionable.


    5. When made for goose, a portion of the liver of the bird, simmered for a few minutes and very finely minced, is frequently added to this stuffing; and where economy is studied, the egg and butter may be dispensed with.
    There are some excellent packaged stuffing mixes ready for you to just add water to them... as well as some incredibly mediocre ones. I have made my own from scratch sometimes and it is satisfying but rather pointless, it takes time and effort when you have a lot of other things to do. What i usually do now is to buy a couple of different stuffing mixes..a couple of each so that there is plenty to serve up..and add fresh ingredients to them to perk them up. Chestnuts or chopped walnuts; herbs..more of the ones already in the mixes...chopped apple9great with pork) and so on.If you bake the stuffing in its own dish then it will not be soggy and if you want to make it into serving sized balls, mix in an egg as well as the required water. Another thing, that really goes well with turkey, you can take a couple of packs of a any sage and onion stuffing mix, add half a supermarket pack of fresh sage (chopped) and a pinch of black pepper, and almost a whole pack of fresh chives snipped up quite small; when it is ready sprinkle the remaining chives over it and serve.
    Well honestly you want to make a separate stuffing for eating, it is easy to get food poisoning from the stuffing from inside the bird. I have made many turkeys and used many stuffing's, and I am a good cook so believe me when I say that the stuffing only gives maybe a small amount of turkey, even with different stuffing's mine all taste similar. this year i used only apples and onions with seasonings and olive oil. I separated the skin from the breast and rubbed in applesauce and olive oil for moisture. Other than that, put your best into a stove made stuffing. I made this from scratch this year and it turned out great. There are many recipes online so what sounds good to you is the one.
    Go to www.epicurious.com or www.food.aol.com





    U need much more then sage and salt and pepper.... What about the garlic, tyme, and celery, green peppers....just to name a few.






    Sage and onion is definitely the best with bird meat. But try chestnut with your turkey, that goes really well too.

    well here is my moms recipe add beer/wine to keep it moist and wont dry off. it also gives a good taste to the turkey and the alcohol burns off so don't worry about feeding children
    This is the way I do mine every year and it works great - use turkey size Reynolds Oven Bags...it works!





    Pull the timer out of the bird and use the guide on the bag, but don鈥檛 overcook! Follow instructions on the oven bag box! You can't go wrong but it cooks more quickly than the traditional way.





    Start with a thawed turkey. Remove the giblet bag from the cavity. Check both cavities! Rinse the bird inside and out. Check the big cavity to see if the kidneys are still in there and stuck near the backbone. Pull them out and discard. Pat the bird dry with paper towels. Slather the skin with butter.





    Sprinkle the cavity very liberally with Poultry Seasoning, Ground Sage, Salt and Pepper and a little Old Bay Seasoning.





    I make the stuffing/dressing separately - so


    Put 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks with the green tops, a half apple and a half onion in the cavity. Add a handful of parsley. Add a pat of butter.





    Pour a can of vegetable broth (or turkey broth or chicken broth) in the cavity and inside the bag (once the turkey is in the bag).





    Add the neck from the giblet packet to the cooking bag and put a few more pieces of carrot, celery, onion and apple around inside the bag. Chop and fry the rest of the giblets and use them in your stuffing/dressing or feed them to the dog/cat.





    Seal up the bag and cook according to the guide on the bag. Cut the bag open at the last 30-minutes and slather the bird with more butter and let the skin crisp up. Check for doneness with a regular kitchen thermometer.





    Note: sometime the bird will give off a lot of juices, if so, just carefully open the bag and remove some of the juices. Save them for the step below. Reseal the bag and continue cooking.





    When bird is done, remove it from the bag put it on your serving tray and let it sit for about 15 鈥?20 mins covered with foil and a few clean dishtowels before carving. Remove and discard the vegetables in the cavity.





    When you cut the bag open, put a couple of cans of vegetable broth (or turkey broth or chicken broth) on the stove and simmer. Add the juices from the bag. Discard the vegetables and the neck bone. Skim the fat, adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning, bring to a boil, then thicken with cornstarch and you have the perfect gravy.





    Save the carcass, any leftover meat, any leftover gravy and make soup the next day using this recipe:








    Turkey Soup





    2 quarts vegetable stock


    1 turkey carcass


    1 (10-ounce) box frozen mixed vegetables


    1/2 cup rice


    2 cups cooked turkey, cubed


    1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning


    2 teaspoons dried thyme


    Salt and pepper, to taste





    Combine the vegetable stock and the turkey carcass in a large soup pot over low heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.





    Add the remaining ingredients to the stock. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.





    Remove the bones before serving.
    Rub the turkey in butter and olive oil, cover while cooking, and baste when done.
    Well the way i cook a turkey i started doing it 6 years ago and its the only ways i will do it.Take a Brown paper sack from the store and cover the entire outside with oil,do not leave any part uncoated then remove all the stuff from the turkey but and butter the entire outside,i also stick some butter in the butt too.Then stick the turkey in the bag and fold the ends of the bag and staple it completly shut,make sure you get it good and tight.Put it on a cookie sheet.Then cook the turkey according to the package depending how big it is .When it gets to the last 30 mins of cookign time cut a slit in the top of the bag and let it brown the last half hour.It is so moist you dont hardly have to carve it will fall off the bone with the smallest touch.

    I need a basic recipe for turkey cutlets,no gourmet ideas,just something I can throw together quick?

    I've got the basics in my pantry ,and I really would prefer to whip up something easy but flavorful. All ideas are appreciated!I need a basic recipe for turkey cutlets,no gourmet ideas,just something I can throw together quick?
    To expound on Me Mosa's answer, if you pound the cutlets so they are the same thickness, lightly season with black pepper, lightly sprinkle with flour and fry in enough oil to cover the bottom of your skillet until golden. Then transfer to a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350潞 oven for about 15-20 minutes to allow the tissues in the meat to settle and to finish the cooking process. This works with pork, chicken and turkey. Serve a nice gravy with the meat and a veggie and salad and you're good to go!I need a basic recipe for turkey cutlets,no gourmet ideas,just something I can throw together quick?
    I would sprinkle them with Lemon Pepper and fry them quickly each side in a bit of butter and olive oil. That is simple and tasty. You can also fry up some chopped onions and sweet peppers first then remove them from them pan and then do the cutlets, topping them with the onions and peppers. Serve salad, or rice and veggies on the side.
    Lay a thin slice of ham and piece of mozzarella or swiss cheese over the cutlets, roll up and then roll in bread crumbs (or sprinkle bread crumbs over them - I use a cheap crumb mix from a box) - cook in the oven 350 degrees about 20 - 25 min. When you cut them, they look like pinwheels. The bread crumbs make them more attractive to children who like nuggets!





    Hope that helps - good luck!

    2 锟?teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme


    2 锟?teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary


    4 锟?large eggs, lightly beaten





    1. Preheat oven to 350掳. Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Toss with bread cubes in a large bowl. Spread in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toast in oven, tossing once, until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.


    2. Place celery root in a medium saucepan; add salted cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain; set aside.


    3. Heat oil and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add celery, onions, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft, about 20 minutes.


    4. Put celery root, vegetable mixture, and toasted bread into a bowl. Return skillet to medium heat. Add vermouth; cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until it bubbles. Pour over bread-vegetable mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup stock, the poultry seasoning, and herbs; season with salt and pepper. Stir in 4 eggs.

    Roast Turkey With Herb Butter and Rich Gravy Serves 10; Prep time: 1 hour; Total time: 5 hours The herb butter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before using.


    8 锟?tablespoons butter, room temperature


    1 1/2 锟?tablespoon each chopped fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme


    锟?Coarse salt and ground pepper


    1 锟?whole turkey (about 18 pounds), thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry, neck reserved (set aside giblets for stuffing, if desired)


    6 to 8 锟?large carrots, halved crosswise


    3 锟?large onions, cut into 8 wedges


    3 锟?stalks celery, halved crosswise





    1. Preheat oven to 350掳, with rack in the lowest position. Make herb butter: In a small bowl, mix together 6 tablespoons butter with chopped herbs; season generously with salt and pepper.


    2. To prepare and stuff the turkey: Turn turkey over; bend wing tips underneath bird so they stay in place (you may have to break the bones). Loosely fill large cavity with stuffing.


    3. Using cotton kitchen twine, tie legs together securely (they will overlap) so bird retains its shape and moisture during cooking.


    . Working from the neck end, slide fingers under skin until you reach the end of the breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Rub herb butter under the skin.


    5. Cut neck into pieces; mix with carrots, onions, celery, and 2 cups water in a large roasting pan. Set roasting rack over vegetables in pan.


    6. Lift turkey onto rack breast side down; rub with remaining tablespoon butter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Tent turkey loosely with foil. Roast 1 hour, then baste every 30 minutes with pan liquids, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 125掳, about 3 hours.


    7. Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400掳. Continue roasting, basting occasionally, until thigh reaches 180掳, 45 to 60 minutes more. Tent with foil if bird browns too quickly; add more water if pan becomes dry. Transfer turkey to a serving platter; cover loosely with foil, and let it rest at least 30 minutes before carving.





    Note: After transferring turkey to a serving platter, reserve vegetables and turkey neck for our Rich Gravy.

    I make a wild rice dressing that my kids love. Basically, I use Uncle Ben's original recipe wild rice, with 2/3 cup of converted rice to stretch it out. Cook as directed on the box, but double the water. When done, pour into baking pan, add sliced almonds, and top with bacon slices. Bake until the bacon is crispy, then crumble the bacon into the rice. I usually make 4 or 5 boxes, because it is really good as leftovers. We don't really like a lot of gravy, so I really don't have a good recipe for that.
    Cornbread dressing. boil whole chicken in water w/ one onion cut up, 4 stalks of celery, couple cloves of garlic minced and seasoning. While doing that bake a cornbread. De bone the chicken and taste the broth and see if it needs seasoning. Crumble the cornbread and then add the chicken with the vegetables and mix then pour broth till it is very wet (mixture will make a spanking noise when tapped with spoon) bake in oven preheated to 350 for about 45 mins or till edges are golden brown.





    Gibblet Gravy. Take the packet out of the chicken. Place in sauce pan with enough water to cover the giblets. Add chopped onions, garlic and celery. Boil till tender then in cup mix water and flour till no lumps then stir into the pan.


    Good luck
    The recipie on the Pepperidge Farm seasoning pack is very good.


    So is the one on the Bell's' Seasoning box.


    --------------------------------------鈥?br>

    Gravy is Water, Flour or Corn starch, fat or oil, salt %26amp; seasoning.


    The key to success is to thoroughly mix some of the flour or corn starch with COLD water before adding to hot anything.





    My basic recipe is based on my Mom's, ratios, but my method is my own.





    2 Cups of water (Tap water or from cooked veggies. *See note at bottom.)


    1 TBSP Flour or Corn Starch %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;(FCS)


    1 TBSP grease from drippings


    1 TSP Salt


    1 TSP Kitchen Bouquet.


    Pan drippings (Meat Juice- NOT grease)





    Mix FCS thoroughly in cold water. Used ~ 1/2 cup of cold water if you're going to used veggie water.


    In a saucepan or the roasting pan (with excess grease removed), add water and all ingredients.


    Turn burner on high.


    STIR constantly with a wisk


    Bring to a full boil for atl least a minute. This is what makes the gravy thicken.


    Then reduce to a simmer. If the grease content is too high, the gravy will be very shiny. If so. mix a small amount of FCS with as small an amount of cold water as possible to thoroughly dissolve.


    Add mixture to gravy stir constantly and return to boil as above.


    When satisfied with consistency, taste.





    Other seasonings to add, based on taste:


    More salt and/or Kitchen Bouquet


    Worcestershire sauce


    Pepper


    Onion powder


    Lemon juice


    Hot Sauce (Texas Pete, Louisiana, Crystal...)





    Also - With Turkey you'll have more grease than you need, but some leaner cuts of beef or pork, may provide little or no grease. You can substitute corn oil or butter in these cases if desired.





    For gravy with Asian flair, Sesame oil is good.





    If meat juice is in short supply, you can add a bullion cubes. (For beef use beef. For poultry use chicken. For pork use one beef %26amp; one chicken.)


    --------------------------------------鈥?br>

    *The best veggie water for gravy comes from peas, green beans, corn, carrots and any of the a fore mentioned cooked with onions. Stay away from water used to cook broccoli, brussels, cauliflower, spinach, turnips, rutabagas...



    Believe it or not, Stove Top Dressing (chicken flavor)from the box. It is so easy, and I am always asked for the ';recipe';. I just say it is a family secret because I am embarrassed to tell the truth.





    By the way, I don't think the Stove Top Dressing in the turkey flavor is as good as the chicken flavor.





    To make turkey gravy, remove turkey from pan. Drain off all but about 6 tablespoons of the fat. Stir the bottom of the pan well to get all those good browned on bits loose. Have about 2 tablespoons of flour with enough water to cover it in a jar with a lid. Shake that well to completely mix in the flour. Add that to the pan and stir well. Then add a packet of McCormick's turkey gravy (the dry mix) to a cup of water and mix that well. Add that to the gravy mixture in the pan. If you want more gravy, add more of the McCormick's dry turkey gravy mixed with one cup of water. This is easy, delicious, and completely lump free.
    My mom makes the classic cornbread dressing, only she uses Mexican Cornbread....and Oh My Gooodneessss!! It is soooooo good! She does use the drippings from the turkey, but I have no idea how to make it, nor do I have her gravy recipe, sorry....





    I have to get it by next week though! YIKES!

    Does anyone have a good recipe for turkey stuffing made with hamburger instead of sausage?

    I know the recipe has cream of mushroom soup and seasoned bread cubes. I am not sure of quantities or spices to use in it.Does anyone have a good recipe for turkey stuffing made with hamburger instead of sausage?
    If I were going to try that, I'd just substitute ground beef or ground turkey for the sausage. I don't make my stuffing from a recipe, so just to be on the safe side, I'd go with onion, celery, poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.Does anyone have a good recipe for turkey stuffing made with hamburger instead of sausage?

    i don't want to fry it. i don't want to do the same 'ol same 'ol. every recipe that i find on the internet always is calling for a 12-16 pd bird and i'm afraid of using these as it will result in a dry unflavorful turkey. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!Can someone please give me a unique turkey recipe that will keep my 22 pd. bird moist?
    Brine it. I do it every year now. I use a clean five gallon bucket with a foil-wrapped brick and mix this up. Twenty four hours ahead of roasting time. Make sure to rest the bird for at least ten minutes after it comes out of the oven before carving. You will not be disappointed.

    This never fails me for any size bird ... and especially at Christmas.





    Stuff the bird with raw oranges and onions that have been chopped in half. This gives an amazing subtle flavour at the end of cooking and keeps it juicy from within.





    Next, before cooking, place strips of streaky bacon (ham) all over the top. Then cover with aluminium foil and cook.


    Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving, the result will be juicier as the juice will retract back into the meat as it cools slightly.





    I guarantee this will work!!
    this works great..MARINATE IT WITH MAYO.comes out sooooooo perfect!..u know just rub it in..then cook it..that works best, been doing it forever..but i dont know if this is your typical recipe..
    This is not as hard as it sounds. Make the stuffoing..





    Fill cavities with sliced carrots, onions and celery,





    Put your hand through the breast side of the turkey and separate from the meat portion. You can even go into the legs. Stuff the bread stuffing into it. If you have too much stuffing, put it in another bowl.





    Roast as required. Remove stuffing and toss with excess stuffing.





    Turkey will be moist

    Tugar is right on the money. Two days ago we brined a 16 lb. turkey in apple juice, salt, water, soy sauce and peppercorns. My husband baked it today for a work party, and baked it in a Reynolds Baking Bag. The turkey came out moist, juicy, and very flavorful.
    We buy a self-basting bird (';Butterball';) %26amp; cover it with foil.
