There was me thinking it was about one of the players. We've certainly had some turkeys over the years.

Never been a fan of Turkey, so often too dry. Smoked turkey breast slices makes for great sandwiches though.

Turkey curry on boxing day or the day after. that's the best use.
Christmas dinner is ace because of all the trimmings... pigs in blankets, bread sauce, cranberry sauce... oh and Christmas pud and cream/brandy butter

The way to ensure a moist turkey. is to make a sort of tent out of aluminium foil, plaster the bird with streaky bacon and a mound of butter....and give it a regular basting. Always worked for me in the past when I've cooked for numbers. |

We had our work Christmas party last Friday and the food was lush. Genuinely never eaten turkey as good as that before.
Best use is cold with stuffing in a sandwich

Add something like clementine's into the mix, which give a nice aroma but also provide added moisture. Don't stuff the bird, just add a little into the cavity - helps ensure even cooking. Check earlier than you think is needed and then just keep adding 10/15 mins on if it comes out pink and like any meat, leave to rest for ages. |

The best results we've had has been when butter is generously stuffed in between the skin of the breast and the breast itself. Top with streaky bacon and baste regularly during cooking.
Saw it on a Christmas cookery programme(Jamie Oliver I think) and it worked well.

Mmm tofurkey. I've always brined my meat for moisture. And if you read that in a filthy manner that's your problem.  |
