Tonight we made Roasted Turkey with Cheddar-Stuffed Potatoes from the March issue of Real Simple magazine. Super delicious. We don't usually eat roasted turkey outside of Thanksgiving, so it was nice to smell it cooking in the house, especially on this wintery mix storm night.
I must admit, I couldn't find a boneless skinless turkey breast half at the grocery store that wasn't already in a ready-to-cook oven bag. All the other choices either had skin or flavors or both. So, we went with the Jennie-O Oven Ready Boneless Skinless Turkey Breast. Which means we didn't use the recipe for this part but it was delicious.
The real star of this one is the Cheddar-Stuffed Potatoes. YUM! I've never made twice-baked potatoes. These were simple and delicious. I added paprika and garlic. So good.
Of course, this cooking adventure was not without Laura-drama. The husband started the turkey while I was at work and we had 53 minutes to go when I got home. Luckily I started reviewing the recipe and realized the potatoes needed to be ready for the last 20-25 minutes in the oven with the turkey, so it was a scramble to get them prepped and in on time. In the end, the Jennie-O turkey has to sit for 10 minutes after it comes out, so the potatoes had plenty of time to finish.
A successful dinner night and pretty impressive for me for a Tuesday, even if we cheated and the husband helped.
Next up: pasta carbonara with spicey sausage from the same magazine. This issue also contains several slow cooker recipes that look delicious too.
Always an adventure!
