Can you even believe that we are talking turkey already? As I sat down to plan today's Foodie Friday, I realized that there were only three Fridays before Thanksgiving. So naturally today is about the main course - turkey - roasted every which way you can imagine. Pick what sounds best to you, or do what I do. Read through several recipes, blend the best ingredients and create your own recipe. If something goes wrong, remember even Martha can make a mistake. Just smile and serve.
The author, Tieghan, swears that this turkey roasting method is perfection. I agree. My best turkeys have always been cooked with a butter and wine soaked cheesecloth .

I don't have one of these. It sure would be easier than using a spoon!

I need one of these extra large carving boards. They can come with or without the moat. It is made of beautiful teak. Now this would make a fabulous host gift!

Celebrate Tex Mex style! Isn't this fun? The sauce can be made weeks ahead of time and frozen. Now that's a time saver! If not for Thanksgiving, it is a great dish to try any day of the week.

Bourbon Glazed Turkey With Pearl Onion Giblet Gravy
You have heard of a "turducken" haven't you? We can call this recipe Tur-Drunken!" The bourbon brown sugar glaze gives this turkey a lovely lacquered look.

Chef and butcher, Alex Pope keeps roast turkey moist by stuffing thin slices of pepperoni under the skin. I totally get this concept, but can I have a side of pizza with it?

For me, cranberry sauce is a necessary compliment to turkey, in fact, I can't eat turkey without it. Naturally, this recipe was appealing. Colorful, too.

Roasting pans are pricey! This one provides healthier cooking, and it's on sale for 60% off. A wonderful buy if you are in the market.

Gorgeous right? The roasted garlic goes without mentioning though. I can't imagine a turkey, gravy, or potatoes without plenty of it. Love the thought of a sweet and savory bird!

If you really want to impress, this might be the way to go. My family only likes the white meat anyway. Don't be alarmed by what you see in the middle of the roast. It's Cranberry Jam!

Bacon Wrapped Turkey Breast With Pear Hash
Having cooked a turkey with bacon before, I can tell you that the flavor is delicious. The only problem I had was getting the turkey skin brown. Perhaps it was my technique. The combination of bacon and sweet pear certainly sounds divine.
