My Husbands Favorite Turkey Recipe
1/4 cup ground mustard
5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Mix together, then baste on turkey. Bake, until done in crockpot or roaster.
I pulled a boneless turkey from my freezer in the morning and put it in a bucket of cold water. By 10:00 a.m. it was sufficiently dethawed enough to transfer to my crockpot. Here, I basted the above recipe over top, covered the pot, then set it on high temperature. It cooked until about 6:00 p.m.
In the afternoon, around 4:00, I made some instant mashed potatoes (because it was quick and easy), opened a can of cranberry sauce and set in a pretty bowl. I made Corn Casserole (my daughter's favorite). I made Stove Top Dressing (also just because it was very easy). I made gravy by opening a can of Campbell's Turkey Gravy and adding the broth/drippings from the turkey (this turned out really good).
Everyone was surprised to see an elaborate (it seemed to them) Thanksgiving meal served on an ordinary Tuesday night in August. It was fun surprising everyone and everyone thought the meal was fantastic! A nice memory!
Baked Corn
1 can whole kernal corn
1 can creamed corn
1 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 box Jiffy corn bread mix
1 tsp sugar
Mix and bake in buttered 9x13 inch pan. bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
I accidently added an extra egg (total = 3 eggs), so I added another can of creamed corn. It turned out really good, so maybe I'll purposely add the extra egg and can of corn next time.
When I made this corn casserole, I made 2 others at the same time (total of 3 baked corn casseroles) and froze the other two. On Sunday morning when we had our church pot luck, I served one of them. Later, in the afternoon when I had my in-laws over for dinner, I pulled another one of these corn casseroles and served it with the meatloaf and fish. |
