Turkey/PIc

[Roxy15]

Why wait for Thanksgiving to have turkey? I didn't make everything like I do at Thanksgiving time. We like to have it now and then. I made it with broccoli and cheese sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy and cheesebread.

 

 

Turkey:

Butterball Turkey

Christopher Ranch Crushed Garlic In A Jar

Blue Bonnet Soft Butter In A Tub

Pepper

White Onions, Sliced

Pkg. Of Baby Carrots

Celery, Sliced In Chunks

32-oz. Can Swanson's Chicken Broth

Zatarain's Creole Seasoning

Take package out of turkey cavity.

Thoroughly wash turkey under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel.

Rub some Soft Blue Bonnet Margarine inside of the turkey cavity. Sprinkle some Zatarain's Creole Seasoning and Christopher Ranch Crushed Garlic In A Jar inside of the cavity.

LIft up the turkey skin as far as you can. Using a spoon, put some Soft Blue Bonnet Margarine under the skin and all over the turkey; DON'T BE SKIMPY!

Sprinkle Zaratrain's Creole Seasoning and Christopher Ranch Crushed Garlic In A Jar in the turkey cavity and all over the turkey, DON'T BE SKIMPY!

Put the rest of the baby carrots in the bottom of the roasting pan along with thick slices of celery; add some sliced white onions and Christopher Ranch Crushed Garlic In A Jar.

Put the turkey on a rack and roast according to package directions.

Using a baster, baste the turkey with juices now and then.

To Make The Gravy:

I put a strainer over a large bowl to catch the veggies. The veggies stay in the strainer and the broth goes into the bowl.

Turkey Gravy:

1/2 Cup Blue Bonnet Margarine

1/2 Cup All-Purpose Flour

2 Cups Degreased Turkey Broth

1 Can Swanson's Chicken Broth

***I eyeball the broth, etc. until it is at the thickness we like.

Cut 1/2 cup Blue Bonnet Margarine into slices; put in medium-sized skillet.

On low heat, melt margarine until it is foamy; 6-12 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; stir with a whisk until it is well blended-(6-12 minutes.)

Add turkey broth and chicken broth; whisk and season with salt and pepper.

****Add some milk or whipping cream if you need to.
