Happy Turkey Week!!

Here is the recipe for the turkey we had on Friday! It was so easy and pretty tasty. Enjoy GOOD food this Thanksgiving!

Ingredients:

Turkey (mine was about 14#)

Salt/pepper

apple/onion/carrots

herbs (i used thyme, rosemary, sage)

Butter

Directions: Turn on your oven to ~350 degrees. Take your turkey and stuff it with chopped apple/carrots/onion and your herbs. Take the slices of butter and peel the skin from the meat and stuff the slices in between. Pour salt and pepper on the turkey and take melted butter and cover the turkey. Cover the turkey with foil and place in the oven for ~3 hours. After it’s roasted for 3 hours, take out of the oven and baste with the juices. Remove the foil and roast for another hour or so (until your turkey is cooked throughout). Remove from the oven and let the turkey sit for ~30min. Then… ENJOY!!!!

Thankful for good friends! What are you thankful for this season?
