Are you in charge of the bird?
You’ve been asked to bring the turkey for Christmas dinner and doc has you working all week. What are you going to do?
No need to sweat… this Make-Ahead Turkey recipe will put you ahead of the game and keep you out of the kitchen on Christmas Day!
Roast Turkey:
Salt and Pepper outside
Fill cavity with:
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Roast as usual. (Cooking bags are fool-proof) Let cool.
Put juice from turkey and celery/onion in large roasting pan or in a Nesco. Add 3 to 4 chicken bullion cubes and 3 cups of water. Simmer.
Slice turkey and add to liquid. Refrigerate or freeze depending how far ahead you are making it. Simply reheat to serve.
*This is a GREAT recipe. The only thing is if you are having a full-blown sit down dinner, you would have to make the stuffing separately and either use a jar gravy or skip it since you’re using the juices for the sliced turkey.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
