The other two I roasted here were 25 lbs though, so I'm hoping this smaller bird will be a good one. I make my own gravy from the drippings, the secret is to mix the flour with HOT water and use a fork to take out the lumps before you pour it into the hot drippings. If the bird has a lot of fat, pour off most of the stuff that floats to the top before you add water or thickening.<BR/><BR/>Zina - I think I need to go to town, I have most of the mercado stuff, it's Super Express stuff I need to find now. Wish me luck!<BR/><BR/>Wayne - I would not make a pie if I could not also make the dough. I use my mother's recipe and it's simple - makes enough dough for 6 shells, so worth the effort (I just freeze what I don't need). Glad your turkey turned out great, I have not tried a turkey from Sam's - maybe next year if this one from Chedraui is a bust.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-61422916627451582302008-12-23T07:17:00.000-06:002008-12-23T07:17:00.000-06:00You make your own pie dough?

It was quite delicious and very moist.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-7953074028645650472008-12-22T23:05:00.000-06:002008-12-22T23:05:00.000-06:00I can't believe tomorrow's the 23rd either!

I bought a turkey on the way home from the gym this morning. I'm not confident about turkey roasting, but I put mine in a cooking bag and that seems to make it moist and tender. I'm terrible at gravy, so I use the turkey gravy seasoning packets and add wine for some extra flavor. I can't believe tomorrow's the 23rd!Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.com
