Thanksgiving!


My roommate and I managed to cook a 16 lbs Turkey last night. It was fun, but this is probably the first and last time that I will ever do it again. Overall it took us 8 hours to prepare it. Here's a Turco-Lebanese recipe from us.

What you need:

16 lbs Turkey
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup dried cloves
4-5 cinnamon sticks
6 cups of water
1 large size syringe
Aluminum foil.

What you need to do:

1. Wash Turkey inside out, remove all the giblets and dry it with paper towel.
2. Bring 6 cups of water to boil, add cinnamon and cloves. Let it cool down on the stove.
3. Using your syringe give as many spicy water shots as you can to your turkey until it becomes bulgy.
4. Oil the surface of turkey and wrap it with aluminum foil.
5. Place it in the owen and cook it at 375F at least for 6 1/2 hrs.
6. Don't forget to place the remainder of your spicy water in the owen. Add water regularly to keep your turkey soft.
