COOKING TIP – KEEPING TURKEY MOIST

Can't remember where this one came from…it's a perfect way to end an old tea towel's kitchen career on a high note. Pick out your oldest tea towel. Make sure it's been naturally laundered, even though it may not look fresh. Moisten it with water and drape/cover the turkey, or large free-range chicken with it. Each time you check your turkey, using a baster, keep pouring the juice from the pan liberally over the tea towel. It keeps the moisture in for fabulous results. For the last half hour or so, take the towel off to let the bird brown & the skin to ‘do it's thing'. Smells from the kitchen by this time will ensure you have some company in the kitchen. Your tea towel will be nicely browned and as you raise a toast to your faithful tea towel, you can be assured that it has experienced the best tasting adventure of it's long career!
