I made a turkey breast for dinner tonight. It should have taken 2 hours at 350 degrees for this 6 lb turkey breast but after 2 hours it was still way too pink inside to eat. So I bumped the temperature up to 400 for another half hour and when that was up I took it out and it was still pinkish inside. We ended up cutting off some slices and put them in the microwave for a little bit. The turkey was good but a little toughish from the microwaving.
I could have cooked it longer but it’s already 6:30 pm and everyone was hungry. The side dishes were done long before the turkey was. I’m used to a gas stove and this stove here is electric and I hate it. We didn’t have any cooking bags (which is what I usually cook my turkeys in) and had to use foil (cheap foil at that). The next time I’ll make sure we have cooking bags. They cut down on the cooking time and really make a turkey nice and juicy.
We sat and ate the sides while waiting for the turkey and read magazines and discussed the pronexin reviews and other stuff. We didn’t eat a lot of turkey because everyone filled up on the side dishes.
My turkey usually gets rave reviews from everyone but tonight I gave it a huge thumbs down.
