Homemade Dressing & Turkey Recipe

Ingredients
2 Loaves Bread ( break into small pieces )
6 Onions ( tennis ball size )
6 Stalks Celery
2 - 3 Tbls. Salt
3/4 Tsp. Sage
8 Eggs
1/2 Cup Dried Parsley Flakes

Take gizzard, liver & neck from turkey or chicken. Fry in a couple tbls of shortening. After it starts to brown, chop 6 onions & 6 Stalks of celery & put in skillet with liver & gizzard & neck & fry for about 15 minutes. Then cover with water and cook about 30 minutes.

Tear up your bread in a big pan, add your 8 Eggs, Salt, Sage, & Parsley Flakes. Add a couple cups of water to kind of moisten it. Taste to see if there is enough salt and seasoning. ( You are not supposed to be able to taste the Sage ). After cooking the gizzard, liver, onions and celery. Add to the bread mixture. It should be real moist, enough so you can see a little broth around the edges. Stuff your turkey, or chicken & wrap in tin foil. Turkey takes 15 minutes to the lb. on turkey over 15 lbs. on smaller turkey bake 20 minutes to the lb.

1 hr before Turkey is done, I take a fork & reach underneath the turkey & poke a couple of holes in the foil & let the juice drip in the pan & brown. Then add 2 or 3 cups of water & that will give you your brown gravy. When you take your turkey out of the pan, thicken the broth with a couple or 3 tbls of corn dissolved in water.

This dressing can be used with pork chops served on top. Always bake dressing with foil over it so it doesn’t get hard and crusty.

TAILGATING FOOD SAFETY TIPS

Take precautions to prevent germ warfare. Fresh air and good food can add up to a memorable afternoon, provided you take certain precautions to make sure everything stays fresh and safe to eat.

WASH YOUR HANDS - Dirty hands are prime culprits for spreading germs. ALways wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after going to the bathroom or preparing raw meats. Waterless hand sanitizer is an easy solution.

PUT IT ON-ICE - Harmful organisms can start growing long before tell-tale bad smells send out signals. Poultry and eggs always carry salmonella and must be cooked thoroughly. Keep all raw meat and eggs packed ON-ICE. NEVER use the raw meat ice as cubes in your drinks; keep a separate stash of ice instead.

COOK IT PROPERLY - The best defense is to make sure that things are cooked to a safe internal temperature. Carry a small meat thermometer with you to gauge internal temperatures. Whole chicken breasts should reach 180 F; 160-170 F will do for Pork; Ground Beef should reach 160 degrees F; and beef will need to reach 160-170 F.

BEWARE OF THE SUN - Even cooked food can become contaminated, especially in sunny climes. Set up ice stations in which you nestle smaller bowls of food in larger containers of ice, especially for meats and perishable foods such as eggs, dairy products and potato salad. The safest system is to keep food in a cooler until guests arrive.

WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT - A good rule of thumb is to throw out anything that’s been outside for more than an hour in 90 degree weather or more than 2 hours in cooler temperatures. When taking food home, never use ice or wrappings that have held raw meat.

Brie and Mushroom Phyllo Puffs

1 cup butter, divided
8 crimini mushrooms, sliced
6 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (8 ounce) wedge Brie cheese
1 (16 ounce) package frozen phyllo pastry, thawed

Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute crimini
and shiitake mushrooms with garlic until tender. Remove from heat, and set
aside. Melt remaining butter in a dish in the microwave.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Unroll the phyllo dough, and cut into three equal strips, about 3x12 inches. I
like to use kitchen shears for this. Place two sheets of the phyllo onto a
cutting board or other work surface, and cover the stack of remaining sheets
with a damp paper towel to keep them from drying out.
Brush the top sheet of phyllo with melted butter, and place a raspberry sized
dab of brie on one end. Top with a small amount of the mushroom mixture. Fold
phyllo dough over the filling to make a triangle. Continue folding back and
forth in a triangle shape, brushing the exposed side of the dough as you go.
Seal the end closed with a little water or butter. Place on an ungreased baking
sheet, and repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bake the triangles for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, turning over once
during baking, until golden brown.



BBQ Turkey

2 cups butter, divided
1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
1/4 cup chicken soup base
3 sweet onions, peeled and cut into wedges
5 apples, cored and cut into wedges
2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine

Preheat a gas grill for low heat.
Rub some of the butter all over the turkey, inside and out, then rub all over
with chicken base. Cut remaining butter into cubes and toss with onions, apples,
and garlic in a large bowl. Stuff the bird with this mixture and place in a
disposable aluminum roasting pan. Fold the turkey skin around the neck area to
cover the hole and then turn the turkey over and pour wine into the opening at
the other end until the turkey is full or the bottle is empty. Set the turkey
breast side up.
Place the roasting pan on the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you
have a pop up timer or heat safe meat thermometer, insert it into the turkey
breast. Close the lid.
Roast until the temperature in the breast reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and
the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 180 degrees C (80
degrees C), about 4 hours depending on the temperature of your grill. When the
temperature is getting close, remove the aluminum foil covering the turkey and
allow it to brown during the final minutes of cooking. If it starts to brown too
much, just cover it back up. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes
before carving.
