Our dinner today will be a turkey and all the fixings for just the two of us. The turkey weighs about five pounds. We'll have a lot of leftovers. As you can see, I'm poaching the bird in simmering water with carrots, leek tops, onions, garlic, bay leaves, cayenne peppers, and spices including allspice berries, black peppercorns, and whole cloves. After it poaches for about two hours, I'll take the out of the poaching liquid and put it in a hot oven to brown it nicely (I hope) and finish the cooking.Merry Christmas and Bon Appétit to all.
Merry Christmas. that looks like a great way to cook a small turkey. I will have to try that.

ReplyDeleteI can’t even imagine that we can find a 5-lb turkey for sale here, now that I think about it! They usually all start at about 15.
ReplyDeleteI wish you two a delicious, relaxing, happiness-filled Christmas, Ken :)
Merry Christmas to you and Walt! Great way to make a turkey, thanks for the idea.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Sounds as if you two have the right idea - kitchen fully stocked, leftovers imminent, and no reason to go out other than to stroll the fields with Tasha!
