Turkey. The star of the show. Here's something I'd like to throw out there. Turkey is dry. I don't care who cooks it, how it's cooked, fried, baked, stuffed; it's dry! I stopped eating Turkey a couple of years ago because I just couldn't stand it anymore. The crunch, the munch, the need to drown it in cranberry sauce just overwhelms me! So, yesterday while spending Thanksgiving with a friend she insisted I would love her mother's turkey. I'm talking traditional Italian cooking here. So, being the polite raised with home training young woman that I am, I put a couple of pieces on my plate. This is after my brother and I stood around and watched the family devour turkey skin. I'm not even going to ask what the luxury is with that one. So, I try a piece while everyone was waiting for a reaction and I had to force a polite smile. DRY. I added some cranberry sauce, which was frozen by the way and still I found no relief. I'm embarking on a mission. Is there anyone out there who's been so blessed to have moist, tender, and juicy turkey? Is there a turkey out there who reigns supreme? Please, someone let me know... Oh, but sweet potatoes with marshmellows and pecans are delish!
