Christmas:<br />

Herb Turkey<br />

By: Jace Brown<br />

Christmas<br />

After stealing a few of Santa’s cookies you<br />

may want something a little lighter for<br />

Christmas dinner. A traditional Christmas<br />

turkey may be the solution. Roasted turkey<br />

being enjoyed on Christmas first dates to<br />

the 1500s and was enjoyed nearly<br />

exclusively by the exorbitantly wealthy. It<br />

wasn’t until centuries later that the dish<br />

became a cultural Christmas staple.<br />

Herb Turkey<br />

1. After cleaning out a ten lb. turkey, season<br />

it with one tablespoon of rosemary, sage,<br />

thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add a full<br />

apple into the cavity.<br />

2. Tie the legs with kitchen string and pour<br />

two cups of apple cider into the pan.<br />

3. Wrap the turkey in tin foil and cook until<br />

the internal temperature is 165 degrees,<br />

and the skin is golden brown.<br />
