Baste a Turkey With Cheesecloth

Cover a turkey with cheesecloth soaked in melted butter or olive oil, and it will baste itself! Remove it during the last 30 minutes of baking to let the skin get brown.

RE: Edible Jewelry Ideas

Thank you for your feedback. I think I will set up one side with candies type items and the other side with cereal types and maybe prezels. This will give a nice variety. Thank you again.

RE: Edible Jewelry Ideas

i don't know if you have thought of this or not but you could string the gummie life savers for the smaller ones and the regular candy kind for the olders ( even the mint ones)

RE: Edible Jewelry Ideas

How about stringing Cheerios or Fruit Loops?

RE: Baste a Turkey With Cheesecloth

Will try the basting with cheesecloth. My hubby cooks a turkey this way: breast down so the juices from the dark meat moisten the bird. No basting is necessary (saves on calories and extra fat),...also if stuffing the turkey; make a bag of cheesecloth; put stuffing in bag and place in turkey cavity. Will cook along with turkey and is easy to "pull out"...no danger of food poisoning.

RE: Baste a Turkey With Cheesecloth

I've roasted turkey with a covering of cheesecloth using a think coating of shortning, but each time, the turkey skin stuck to the cheesecloth. Does anyone know any way to prevent this?

RE: Baste a Turkey With Cheesecloth

I found this is the best way to roast chicken or turkey. As you said, no basting is necessary. Since you don't have to open the oven door, the turkey actually roasts faster. The oven loses a lot of heat when the oven door is opened during basting. I found this tip in my mother's 1928 cookbook along with a fast way to catch, kill, de-feather, clean and roast the bird. I'm sure glad I didn't have to use all that information. Another way I roast a chicken or turkey is to place it breast down in the pan, along with the cheesecloth. I never have dry white meat.

One Thanksgiving, our teenage son, who worked on a farm, did in fact catch, kill, de-feather and clean a turkey with the help of the farmer. The only thing he didn't do was cook it. It was the best turkey we ever had.
