Day 13

Ok didn't really get any exercise this morning, unless you count cooking and cleaning. I did lots of that. Other than that not much else. I got 36 minutes on the wii fit last night before I passed out. Today I baked a turkey breast. It was so good, probably the best turkey I've made. Not that I've made many but man this was tasty. So I'm gonna post the recipe for it since it was so fabu. Kroger had the frozen turkey breasts on sale for 99cents a pound.

Here's what I had today.

Breakfast - My oh so tasty cereal
Lunch - Turkey what else ;o)
Dinner - apple, cucumber, and some turkey.

Fabu Turkey Breast

(for Lisa) Let turkey breast thaw :)
Pre-heat oven to 350

Take some margarine or oleo or evoo which ever you prefer and rub all over the turkey. Separate the skin from the turkey but don't tear it and put the margarine or whatever it is you use in between the skin and the actual turkey breast. After this salt and pepper the turkey make sure you get inside the cavity with the salt and pepper.

Put the turkey in a glass cake pan type pan breast side down. Slice up an apple and throw half the slices inside the turkey. (eat the other ones or throw them in the bottom of the pan.)

Pour a cup or so of 100% natural apple juice into the bottom of the pan. Stick a glass measuring cup or some other type of bowl that can go into an oven in the pan with the turkey put about a cup or so of of apple juice into that bowl. Cover the entire pan and all it's contents with foil.

Bake it for as long as it says on the package basting the turkey every hour or so. Check the temperature. If the temperature is between 165-170 flip the turkey over in the pan so the breast side is now up. Take off the foil and put the turkey back in for another 10-15 minutes so it can get a nice golden color.

Find someone that can carve the turkey and enjoy.

Mine was a little over 7 pounds and took 3 hours to cook. Doesn't take that long at all and it's all white meat and healthy. You know exactly what you are putting on it and it's so very good.

Just thought I'd share. If anyone else comes across something tasty like this let me know!
