How to cook a turkey, Holiday recipes, Heart healthy recipes
Before learning how to cook a turkey, you must purchase one. Most of our supermarkets today carry a nice selection of birds, especially for holiday recipes. They come either fresh or frozen. Some people want a fresh one for cooking Thanksgiving turkey. I have used both and have found no difference. I have never bought a bad turkey.
When holiday season arrives, family members and friends will offer their own traditional turkey tips to you. If you ask how to cook a turkey, there are several things you must consider. How much does your turkey weigh, is it stuffed and how many hours you have before serving.
Cooking turkey in convection oven, which many kitchens are equipped with, is different also. You must reduce the temperature or the roasting time will be less. The roasting time will be reduced by 20 to 30 percent.

I have been asked about cooking turkey upside down. They claim that the white meat is moister, but I have not tried it. I don’t find the breast is to dry by cooking it on the back. This might be something to try.
Something new has come to my attention lately and I am going to try it. It is called “turduckin”. It is a Cajun recipe and has spread throughout the southeast. First you stuff a chicken with a spicy sausage stuffing. Next you stuff the chicken inside a duck and then you stuff the duck inside a turkey. I am reserving this one for a dinner. It will be a lot of poultry and I will want to get others opinions.
Turkey is a high protein food and can be used in a lot of heart healthy recipes. The turkey breast cooking time is quick and the white meat is very low in fat.
Turkey is also a wonderful chicken alternative and can be substituted in many of the chicken dishes. By adding a little chicken flavor and noodles, a wonderful German recipe is created. A large bird can be roasted and then used to make cheap meals in many leftover recipes. Add some with vegetables and create a Filipino recipe. Prepare fast meals using a microwave oven.

The secret to cooking turkey burgers, which have become very popular, is not letting them get too dry. This can be accomplished by adding a little bread crumbs and milk to the fresh ground turkey. If you do not want the added calories from the crumbs just make sure not to cook them to long.
