FCG’s Thanksgiving Day Feast – Back to Basics: Perfect Roast Turkey
Thanksgiving Day is the only day where I cook for my whole family, which includes all the aunts, uncles, and cousins that live on the other floors of my house. This will be my 4th year continuing on with this tradition and I always look forward to it even though I am not much of a chef. The years before that my immediate family and I would just order a $40 dollar roasted turkey from a Chinese restaurant and we would have that with rice and other dishes that we make. I have to admit that Chinese restaurants can make one hell of a roasted chicken, but not this big turkey bird. It always seems to be too dry and flavorless and I end up finishing the gravy that comes with it. I mean like, how healthy can that be? And that is why I roast my own bird!
