A SIMPLY PERFECT ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.
• Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.
• Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 4 hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly roll pan.
• Mix ground turkey, buttery round cracker crumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl; shape into a loaf and place on the prepared jelly roll pan.
• Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.
• Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping. Return loaf to oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MY FATHER-IN-LAW MICKEY'S FAMOUS TURKEY VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, brown the ground turkey in a little bit of olive oil so it doesn't stick and break it up into small pieces.
• Add diced onion, cook until it starts to soften a bit.
• Add in desired amount of broth. (I used approx 24 cups! It was a big batch!).
• Next, add your vegetables. If using potatoes, I recommend adding them in last, after the celery and carrot start to soften a bit.
• Then add to taste, your herbs and seasonings.
• Cook until all the vegetables are tender.
• May cook covered or uncovered. If uncovered, it will reduce a bit and the flavors will intensify more.
• Serve over warm cooked rice or orzo, a sprinkle or two of parmesan cheese and a dash of hot sauce and enjoy!
