Hey Y'all. Just to show I can do kitchen "projects" too, here's a photo of my first bacon wrapped turkey. 6 pounds of bacon wrapping 15 pounds of gobble gobble! Yummy:licking:

Funny thing.........I misread the recipe and thought the recipe was referring to oven racks, when it was referring to a pan with a rack. So I had to make a rack for my disposable pan. I cut the handles off of a fish grilling rack and laid it out over the apples, leeks, and carrots! I also didn't buy any cooking string, so I had to use aircraft stainless safety wire to hold the legs together!
Merry Christmas hugs, Brandi

Yep...if you not in Texas, you lose.
The turkey came out great. Very, very moist. I'm not much of a spice user in cooking, but I went ahead and stuck to the recipe with the Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, and Parsley with the pureed bacon and butter for the rub baste. Next time I'm gonna cut back on these spices. Also, instead of onion, garlic, and leets, I will try fresh pineapple under the turkey rack.
Merry Christmas hugs, Brandi
