Papa’s Cooking Tip
Roasting Turkey. If you don’t have leftovers.
You can roast thighs, legs or breast in the oven at 350 degrees. Place the turkey in a baking pan. Spray the pieces with olive oil spray and sprinkle with Mama’s Poultry seasoning and a little extra ground black pepper. Place in the oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes. Let it cool for 15 minutes then take the meat off the bones and cut into bite size pieces…
Mama’s Cooking Tip
Arrowroot or Cornstarch must be mixed with a cold liquid. Hot liquids will make it very lumpy and it will not blend well.
It is important to bring the liquid to a boil once added to your skillet to allow the mixture to fully thicken.
