  1. This was my first turkey and I am glad I picked this recipe! It was a big hit for my ever-so-picky eaters. I used reduced sodium chicken broth and about a teaspoon of lemon extract because I didn't have any juice (I don't know how that happened)! Thank you for the recipe!
     
  2. This was absolutely wonderful. I cook my bird breast down on a rack but basted with this juice and it turned out so good. I simply added a bit of water to the bottom of the roasting pan now and then to prevent burning but basted with this and This also made the very best gravy I have ever had. I simply added a bit more water with a bit of bouillon to the pan when done, flour, sage, salt and pepper. It was so brown it looked like beef gravy. Thanks so much, I will use it each year from now on. I had actually rated this a month ago but think I forgot to hit submit.
     
  3. I made this for my very first Thanksgiving dinner ... my guests said it was the best ever, and it couldn't have been easier!
     
  4. Great recipe-I used a "food injector" (syringe) and shot up a 14 lb fresh turkey from a local farm the night before. I then followed the directions and basted as if I had not injected--came out wonderful. Thanks!
     
  5. Very good! I've never made a turkey without the stuffing, so this was the first and it was great. No one missed the stuffing. I used the juice to serve with the turkey and it made it very moist. Thanks for the recipe!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
