    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: leasa926*********We've tried several turkey recipes and this one is by far the best! The bacon on top and sage inside makes an awesome flavor!


    List of Ingredients




    MARINADE:
    1 Turkey (size of your choice)
    1/4 c. (4 Tbl.) Dry Mustard
    2 tbl. Worcestershire Sauce
    1/2 tsp. Cider Vinegar
    2 1/2 tbl. Olive Oil
    1 tsp. Salt
    1/8 tsp. Ground Pepper
    GARNISHES:
    1 Onion
    1-2 stalks Celery, cut to fit
    Parsley (as desired)
    Sage (as desired)
    2 slices Bacon
    1 stick Butter

    Recipe



    First, make marinade. You will paint this on turkey a few hours beofre you cook it or the day before! Ingredient amounts are for 9 1/2 lb. turkey, so make more if your turkey is bigger.
    Mix all ingredients and make into a soft paste (like a thick marinade). A few hours before cooking (or day before), paint it all over a well-thawed turkey, inside and out, with a sash brush.
    Now you're ready for the garnishes. Instead of stuffing, fill the turkey cavity with onion, celery, parsley, and sage. Lay strips of bacon across breasts. Tuck chunks of butter and sage in crevice between drumstick and body.
    Sprinkle with sage and put in uncovered roaster. Add 1-2 cups chicken broth for basting (only 3-5 times during roasting). Cook at 300'.
    Cook Times:
    10-15 lb = 20 min/lb.
    15-18 lb = 18 min/lb
    18-20 lb = 15 min/lb
    You may cook 1 hr. longer than required time, if needed. Pan juices work great for gravy (may need to strain chunks).
