Presents! :-)
My Plate!
We have a tradition of celebrating Christmas with all the kids and grandkids on the Saturday after Christmas. Everyone is welcome to come over on Christmas day if possible, but my stepkids and their children have in-laws and other parents to visit. So, I decided to take the pressure off them and insure that I get a good day with them, without them having to rush off! It's worked out well. This year, Kayleigh, Joe and Jack had to stay home with baby Benjamin, since he's so young and susceptible to the flu and respiratory illness that's out there!
I received an early Christmas present from my foodie friend Mary over at All Things Food - Cooking with Mary and Friends. She brought me one of the turkeys that she received from Paradise Acre Farm. Tom and Denise offer awesome pastured poultry, eggs and gluten free baked goods that they sell at the Rosewood Market in Columbia, SC.
Roast Garlic Teriyaki Turkey
This is a very easy way to make a Thanksgiving turkey using an oven bag. The bird will be perfectly moist when done, plus, cleanup is a snap!
12 pound turkey
Teriyaki Marinade (Or 1 bottle of good quality)
Teriyaki Marinade (Or 1 bottle of good quality)
1 head of roasted garlic, mashed
2 turkey size oven bags
The night before... place the turkey in one of the oven bags, pour in teriyaki marinade and roasted garlic. Massage the marinade over the turkey and make sure some of it goes into the cavity. Close the bag with the tie and sit it in a bowl to insure safety from contamination. Place it in the frig overnight.

The day of... Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sprinkle the second oven bag with flour, and shake to coat. Remove the turkey from the frig and take out of the bag. Carefully place it in the floured oven bag, sitting in a roasting pan. Pour half the juice oven the turkey in the bag. Seal the bag and poke several holes in it with a fork. Bake 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature of the thigh meat reaches 180 degrees F .
I was afraid that I had overcooked my turkey! I was told that these turkeys cook much faster than ones from the grocery store. I pulled it from the oven and it wasn't up to temperature, so back to the oven. Come to find out, my probe was broken! Yikes!!!
BUT, the oven bag protected the meat,
and as you can see, the turkey is moist,
tender and delicious!
Juicy white meat!
The kids were all "OMG"-ing and picking at the turkey while their Daddy was trying to cut it up! He had to fuss at them a few times to make them, leave it alone so we'd have some to plate up! :-)
