I have roasted whole chickens...Janice - Thank you!<br /><br />I have roasted whole chickens and roasts frozen as well - this is where my meat thermometer is really important. I did rub butter on the outside of the turkey, but left it fairly plain. This is typically where I would season the gravy really well and include whole herbs and spices in making the gravy and then strain them out afterward. I also wanted to be aware of the kids who were coming and I was unsure what they would love or not. <br /><br />For the potatoes, I minced and fried two onions and put in a bunch of roasted garlic. I also heated up the butter and cream before adding them to the potatoes to prevent them from going gluey. I think the potatoes "dressed up" the plain turkey fairly well!<br /><br />Thank you for reading and commenting!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433380458706439821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218382245717590633.post-86092770334898615692011-03-03T08:00:27.530-07:002011-03-03T08:00:27.530-07:00Hi Jessica,
I DID NOT think it was possible to coo...Hi Jessica,<br />I DID NOT think it was possible to cook a turkey from frozen state, let alone have it taste wonderful! You are an amazing source of great info! Just wondering how you handled seasoning of the turkey (i.e. I usually sprinkle the inside cavity with herbs, salt and pepper and onions). Did you rub the outside with butter or anything else?<br />I LOVE to read your blog when I can--you have so much great info and your pictures are always magazine-beautiful!
