OPRAH'S TURKEY MEATLOAF
One of Oprah's favorite low-fat recipes. Rosie Daley, Oprah's private cook uses ground turkey breast and a bit more flavor, oriental-style Panko breadcrumbs found in specialty food stores. The recipe also works well with regular breadcrumbs. Look for Oprah's Classic Potatoes here in Zaar; it goes well with this recipe.

CRISTINA FERRARE'S TURKEY
This will be the best turkey you ever have. I saw Cristina Ferrare making it on the Oprah Show. Oprah called it her favorite turkey. So I gave it a try and it was juicy and delicious. The cook time dose not include marination time. If you are making a larger/smaller turkey adjust cooking time and amount of marinade.

Steps:
- To make marinade:
- Combine ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate till needed.
- Clean out cavity of the turkey and rinse well, inside and out. Pat dry and place turkey in a large roasting pan.
- It is very important that you pat it dry in order to get that nice golden turkey skin.
- Tie turkey legs together and cover tips with foil. Keeping them wrapped and tied stops the legs drying out while cooking.

- Place turkey breast-side up in roasting pan. Insert thermometer in the thickest part of the breast.
- Pour the marinade over the turkey.

- Cover with foil and roast for 2 hours @ 350 C.
- After 2 hours, add hot water (or broth) to the bottom of the pan. Stir to make gravy for basting.
- Baste turkey and cover with foil.
- Roast turkey another 30 minutes and repeat basting process.
- Continue basting every 15 minutes until the thermometer reaches 180-185°, approximately 3 to 4 hours.
- The constant basting is what gives the skin that lovely golden color.

Tips:
- Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple solution of water, salt, and sugar, or you can use a more flavorful brine that includes herbs, spices, and aromatics.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Start by roasting the turkey at 450°F for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue roasting until the turkey is cooked through.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, and cook the turkey until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the turkey rest: After the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
- Make gravy from the drippings: The drippings from the turkey are full of flavor, so don't let them go to waste! Use them to make a delicious gravy to serve with the turkey.
Conclusion:
With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious and memorable Thanksgiving turkey that your family and friends will love. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey is cooked to perfection and that you have a stress-free Thanksgiving dinner.
