I usually bake my turkey without using the brine method… I have done the brine method and really can’t tell any difference.

Love the “Brown-n-Bags”…turkey size…follow instructions for baking regarding time and temperature with the exception of my notes in the directions.

  • fresh rosemary
  • stems fresh parsley

An extra special chicken enchilada.
Original recipe called for using left over turkey. I didn’t always have turkey, and the chicken seems to be much moister when prepared as directed; my family wants it mixed more often than just when I had left over turkey!
This can be made the day ahead for company dinner and is very impressive as a company meal. It also freezes very well.
You can serve a tossed salad or any other vegetable of your choice…guacamole, salsa and chips work well. And, I guess you could do the traditional rice and beans…but my family prefers a green vegetable as a side and maybe a congealed salad.

You might need to buy:
  • light cream
  • cream of chicken soup
  • sour cream
  • sliced mushrooms
  • margarine
  • -
  • cream of chicken soup

This is delicious. I am pretty sure this would work maybe in a crock pot too…but I don’t do crock pots.

  • Pepper if you like
  • Water as needed
  • Garlic salt
  • cream of mushroom soup
  • raw Minute rice
  • frozen mixed vegetables
