How long and at what temperature do you roast a brined turkey in a convection oven?
GRAVY EMERGENCY!! Because of space restrictions, we are frying our turkey this year. We always have a traditional gravy, (turkey drippings included), what can I do to still create a heavenly gravy that's so important to use on eveything on the plate this Thursday?
How do you make candied yams using canned yams?
I want to enhance my traditional cornbread and dry bread dressing without adding any sweetness. We like savory dishes, what would you suggest?
My husband likes sweet potatos made with a sugar syrup, he uses it as his syrup for his plate. I need help cause I don't make it like his mom does! No recipe from her just do this and that…how can I make a syrupy sweet potato that isn't to overboard sweet with lots of juice?
I have Celiac's disease therefore I was wondering about gluten-free sides or desserts I could bring to a family gathering . Also, any suggestions about what I could possibly eat safely at a family gathering.
When boiling my eggs for the dressing, I have noticed, that every now and then, an egg will float to the top, while others are sunk to the bottom. Are these eggs that float okay or do I need to discard them? Thanks, Joe from Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
coconut cream pie mine turns out soupy what am i doing wrong?
Is there a big difference in the kind of oil used for frying a turkey? I know the most common is peanut oil however I have seen the option of vegetable oil or even a new blend of vegetable/peanut oil. Obviously the peanut oil is more expensive so I would like an alternative if possible.
Also, is there such a thing as a good make ahead mashed potato? I hate the last minute prep required as the turkey comes out. thanks!!!
Picking up precooked organic turkey that needs to be finished/browned. Please suggest how to keep moisture? Use rub? Use Herb butter? Cover? Uncover? HELP
