Good morning and welcome back to the game!

Yes, I'll go ahead and confirm the obvious that the new topic will be out later today!

I haven't had a "break" in the game before, so I'm hoping that people convince me that it's a good idea by all coming back!*G*

So how was everyone's extended weekend? How are you planning on getting by this week?*G*

After it's been brined, if you want an even more flavorful roast, you can do the following:

3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic powder (optional)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried basil, ground sage, salt, and black pepper. Using a basting brush, apply the mixture to the outside of the uncooked turkey. Pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan, and cover.

Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh measures 170 degrees F. Remove bird from oven, and allow to stand for at LEAST 30 minutes before carving.

My kids are going to love you.

I've actually never made a turkey before Thanksgiving.

Without tooting my own horn, it was the best turkey I've ever had. :)
