Talk Turkey to Me
The title says it all with this book. It is simply about how to prepare Turkey and all the trimmings for a delicious meal. The information is complete, covering things like how to pick the right size, working with fresh versus frozen, thawing techniques, seasoning, checking doneness, and basting. It even includes a surprising variety of ways in which to cook your turkey such as in an oven bag, open pan, covered pan, convection oven, on a grill, in a smoker or even deep frying. If that is not enough then what about the even more unusual methods such as brining, upside-down, microwaving, roasting from frozen, boiling, stewing, and even cooking in a crock-pot.
Of course the book would not be complete without recipes for all the things that go with turkey and the recipes are here - gravy, appetizers, cranberry and other fruit side dishes, vegetable dishes, potato dishes, stuffing, breads and rolls, and desserts.
There are even instructions for storing and serving the leftovers which many people plan for when they buy their turkey. Each recipe is well written and easy to follow and the results are delicious. Talk Turkey to Me is a highly recommended specialty cookbook.
