6 Meals Out of One Turkey

A 20lb Turkey produces about 8 Cups of meat. CJD.Sign

Hi, Sweet Friends,

This week's Friday Foods is one that we like to expand upon every time we make a turkey, that is, except Thanksgiving. For our Thanksgiving Turkey we have the regular dinner and then make the normal sandwiches and Turkey Vegetable Soup.

So this week we tried things a bit differently.
You bake the turkey (thawed) in a baking pan with a drip rack (like the photo above) overnight at 200° F. We start it at 9 or 10pm and leave it to cook overnight.  Disclaimer... We are not responsible for the delicious turkey dreams you may or may not have.  ;)

In the morning, check the doneness of the turkey. Leave it longer if there is any trace of blood in the drip pan. Cover the turkey if the skin has browned to keep it from burning or drying out.
 A 20lb Turkey produces about 8 Cups of meat. A 10lb Turkey produces about 4 Cups of meat.
