Secret Recipe Strategy on How to Keep a Turkey Breast Moist, Tender and Juicy During Thanksgiving

One of the many concerns that enter a Thanksgiving's day cook is how to cook a moist turkey. This can be a laborious task on it's own and one should be mentally prepared as well as physically prepared to tackle this feat; However, with a few quick and easy tips one can master this relatively simple task and produce a extraordinary turkey that is both moist and tender.

During the preparation of the turkey itself make sure to loosen the outer skin. One can do this by simply taking a clean pair of hands and slowly rubbing them between the turkey meat itself and the skin. Push inward gently to further separate as much skin from the meat paying attention not to tear or rip the skin - as we want to create a pocket to later fill with moisture. Do this on as many areas of the turkey as possible

Next, blend together a mixture of a half cup of olive oil, half a cup of breadcrumbs, and some fresh herbs such as Thyme, Rosemary, and/or Parsley. Blitz the mixture together until you have a creamy texture. For maximum results add two tablespoons of unsalted butter to the mixture and blend together.

Fill a pastry bag full of the blitzed mixture. If one does not have a pastry bag, this next task can easily be accomplished with clean hands and a long, thin, spoon - such as an iced tea stirring spoon. Carefully inject the pocket area of the turkey, between the skin and the meat with the blended mixture. Be extra cautious not to rip or tear the turkey skin when attempting to pipe the mixture all the way down to the lower crevices and various cavities of the turkey.

Once this is complete, stuff and prep the turkey in any desired manner. When all is complete do not forget to rub the outer areas of the turkey with olive oil and any excess of the blended mixture paying extra attention to the breast and thigh meat. It is important to baste the turkey often once it is in the oven and also cook the turkey on a low oven temperature for as long as needed. The time depends on the size and weight of your turkey.

If one has completed the steps outlined above, they will pleasantly be rewarded with an extraordinarily plump and juicy turkey that guests will rave about. This simple and easy-to-do, turkey trick will forever solve the common dilemma of how to keep a turkey moist.
