Want to make the perfect turkey for your Hunk this Thanksgiving?
This year our Wedding Anniversary lands on Thanksgiving day.
I've been looking for a "special" turkey recipe to make for my Hunk this year, to celebrate. Instead of the way I cook it year after year after year.
You know, spice it up a bit for our "special occasion". I'm just thoughtful like that... wink... wink
I'm so excited!! I just received this Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe from my friend Kristin this morning and it's perfect!!!
Just in case you were looking for an extra special turkey this Thanksgiving I just had to share.
It is sure to be a hit at any Thanksgiving Table.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole turkey
- 1 large lemon, cut into halves
- salt and pepper to taste
- butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely coated.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.
Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat; Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one on each side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.
Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes.
Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.
If you've followed these steps correctly, your turkey should look like the one in the picture below.
Bon Appetit!
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself......
Happy Hump Day!!
Ciao Bellas~

ReplyDeleteYou are really a hoot! I'm so tired ... I'm running on fumes, but that gave me that extra little lift, so to speak, to start some dinner!
Have a wonderful anniversary!!
Such a creative use of lemons . . . LOL!
ReplyDeleteLOL - That is GREAT!!! Wasn't expecting the picture but I was picturing how it would look as I was reading your recipe...Thanks for the laugh!!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord. That is too funny!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best Turkey Ever! Now if only I could figure out how to get my Grandma to let me do the turkey this year...
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That is hilarious. I'm definitely showing Blake this one.
ReplyDeleteThat's just funny!
ReplyDeleteMy Captain would love this, too.
Too bad I'm not making the turkey this year.
Hope your anniversary is a good one!
Too bad we're doing a Turducken this year - that would be just PERFECT! I sure wasn't expecting that - I was busy thinking, 'Lemon on turkey?" When I saw that I almost spewed my coffee all over my computer keyboard and screen! Thanks for the belly laugh!
ReplyDeleteLDB I hope you didn't mess up your keyboard! AND I am making a Turducken this year too! It will be my very first one. My friend Jennifer is going to come over and help me do it and we are going to put it on the blog. Between the two of us I'm sure it will prove to be another coffee spewing moment.......sadly....my life is just one laugh (for someone else) and another. (smile)
ReplyDeleteMichelle- If your grandma lets you please let me know. I need photos of the facial expressions at the table!
TF and CG- Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes.
I just love reading all your comments....gives me a good laugh too!
Much love friends...... Ciao Bellas~
I often use lemon slices for chicken. I must admit it's not at all the same funny result.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOoohhhhh I do to NC. Love lemon on chicken. I do "miracle chicken" from Princess House and it's sooooo easy and a favorite here. I Wonder what Hunk and the Rugrats would think if I served it with the lemons placed like that the next time. I should do it and see if they notice....
ReplyDeleteOk, you are right, how could they not notice... LOL....hmmmm
Greatest picture I've ever seen. I think my b-friend wouldnt be so hesitant to attend Thanksgiving (family events in general really) if the turkey looked like this every year!! hahahaha Thanks for the giggle.
ReplyDeletehilarious... looks like boobbies!!! and it looks delish!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm pretty sure my hubby would leave me for that turkey. =)
