I LOVE parsnips...roasted, mashed, in chicken soup, in beef stew...I have never heard of parsnip soup though :O

i have heard this from many different sources too. but i can find just as many sources that swear its safe. i am too lazy to try out different methods and see which is the proper temperature and which tastes good and what not for myself. i am going to try the recipe dave linked to and see if people notice it wasn't made in the turkey.

I agree there is definitely studies that show it can be safe...I just don't risk it personally. I have watched a lot of documentaries this year that relate to the food in the U.S and I saw what salmonella, ecoli etc can do to a person and it scares me.

One suggestion I have heard on a few cooking shows is to precook your stuffing, cook your turkey and about 30 mins before the turkey is done you can add your stuffing inside...

alton brown suggests precooking the stuffing, then adding it to the turkey. your way would work too.
 
I made a turkey stock with my turkey carcass...now what should I do with it?
 
Either make an awesome soup out of it, or split it up into smaller portions, freeze, and use whenever you'd use chicken stock. Homemade stock >>> store bought, especially with stuff like soups, reduced sauces, stews etc...
 
^^ +1 on the homemade stock!

Our chicken/pork marinade:
200mL olive oil
100mL soy sauce
1 tbs honey
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 lemon, squeezed
salt & pepper to taste

Whisk it up and marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes.

We dice chicken breast and marinate in this mix, then apply the chicken cubes to skewers and BBQ them. SO DELICIOUS!! And healthy too :)
We also use this marinade with pork chops and BBQ or pan-fry them. It's awesome because the honey and soy mixture makes this nice glaze on the pork mmmmm yum!
 
Cut out most of the olive oil and add some sambal, and that's pretty well my basic baked tofu marinade. Sometimes I'll switch it up and do apple cider vinegar rather than lemon juice (usually when I'm out of lemons).
 
Made tonight. Glazed pork loin roast with apricot and horseradish glaze and sauce (cause you can never have enough) it was nice to see the bf love this family favorite.

I've currently got some chicken marinating in the fridge (since last night) in this - I can't wait to test it out tonight! It smells amazing already :D
 
Second that on the pork recipe.

So I tried N3o's marinade last night - OMG. SO good. I diced the chicken, chucked it in the wok with veges and a litte left over marinade and we ate it on a bed of vermicelli rice noodles.

WIN! Next time i might add a couple of spices and maybe some oyster sauce to give it a little more asian flavour, but dear got it was drool-worthy. Thanks so much for posting it n30 <3<3
 
My Dad's cheese spaghetti recipe:

Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2- 1 3/4 cups milk
1 small package herb cheese spread (like rondele or allouette)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 package ham (like for sandwiches), cut into slices
1 lb. spaghetti, cooked
Chunky applesauce

Melt butter over medium low in a saucepan. When melted, add the flour and cook for a couple minutes (these measurements should be exact, and be sure not to burn it). Next, add milk very slowly (stir in until smooth each time you pour some milk in). When all milk is added, cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the herb cheese package, stir until smooth. Then add shredded cheese to taste (you don't have to add the full 2 cups), and add the ham slices. (If you like the sauce thinner, add a bit more milk).

Serve over the cooked spaghetti, with some chunky applesauce on the side. I know it sounds weird, but it's so damn good. My Dad taught me how to make this when I was little, I thought I'd share it with you. Hope you enjoy it =)

I'm a lazy fuck and although I'd like to save money by home cooking and would like to eat healthily, I do not want to have to spend loads of time cooking. So, I was wondering if you guys could help me by sharing your favorite easy recipes?

Get a slow cooker, chuck a load of stuff in it in the morning when you get back home it's all cooked =D

I like mixing blue cheese crumbles with my mashed potatoes. YUM!

We did this the other night and it worked a treat! Luckily Busty was in charge of that part of the meal, so he only put in a modest amount of the cheese - which in the end was more than enough to flavour it. So tasty, thanks for the recc'! :D
 
^^ Ooh please do!! :)

We make a similar marinade but add in 100mL kekap manis and only a splash of soy, use sesame oil instead of olive [helps keep the Asian flavour] and some crushed ginger. It's so easy [and cheap] and can make a great base to a stiry-fry as well as a marinade. :)

I have a couple of ideas in mind for this, but the marinade is so delicious, i wouldn't want to do too much to it! I may add some ginger, indo soy and maybe a little sambal?

Thanks again for posting it, it really was delicious, and so easy!
 
No worries at all hun! Sharin' the love! :D
My best mate Alec is actually to credit for this recipe, he is the marinade KING! <3

We're actually having the marinated chicken tonight again hehe. It's a solid favourite in our household.
