This year I was going to try something that came to me on a whim. I thought I would make a turkey loaf.
I took ground turkey and added all the ingredients listed in large mixing bowl. Then I laid it into a wax paper lined cookie sheet. I spread it around with my hand then placed another piece of waxed paper to get it even thickness. I then added some stuffing with sausage some more of the other listed ingredients made an indention and added some canned cranberries with mozzarella cheese. Finally rolled it up and placed it into a loaf pan.
The Spatchcock Turkey I placed on pads of butter in a shallow foil pan. I then injected it with a Lawry’s Caribbean Jerk with Papaya juice marinade. I sifted it through nylon to take all of the clumps out. After injected I rubbed it down with my shake and placed thin sliced fresh oranges over the top and placed in fridge overnight.
