Thanksgiving Bird??



please note.....grapefruit or oranges, or cantaloupes may be used n'loo of lemons?!



HAPPY THANKSGIVING
...Here is a recipe I thought you would like for the holidays!Ingredients:1 whole chicken or turkey1 large lemon, cut into halvessprig of rosemarysalt and pepper to tastebutter or olive oil, whichever you preferHeat oven to 350 degrees Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken/turkey until it is completely coated.Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat; Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one oneach side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.Place sprig of rosemary into the chicken/turkey. Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continueto roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken/turkey should look like the one in the picture.Bon Appetit!
