HAPPY THANKSGIVING

……….Here is a recipe I thought you would like for the holidays 

 Ingredients:
> 1 whole turkey
> 1 large lemon, cut into halves
> salt and pepper to taste
> butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

> Heat oven to 350 degrees

> Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely coated. 

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;  

Slide  lemon  halves  under  the  skin  with  the  peel  side  up, one on each side. This way the  juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.

Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes.   Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.

If you’ve followed these steps correctly, your turkey should  look like the one in the picture below.

Bon Appetit!
