Roast Turkey with dried grapes

When Christmas comes, many grocery stores always offer sales

promotion on turkeys to create satisfied customers.  This is a good way

for us to prepare the Christmas dinner menu and we can try to cook with

different ingredients to make our Christmas dinner special for our family.

The author also likes to try and change ingredients to cook with turkey for

new tastes and aromas.  Adding some grapes to roast turkey is another

choice.  The sweetness and sourness from grapes make turkey more

delicious and also reduce greasiness.  If you would like to try to cook it

this way, hope you have fun!

Ingredients:

Turkey (whole, about 2 kilograms)      1    turkey

Turkey giblets         1 cup

Bread crumbs      3    cups

Dried grapes      1 cup

Green grapes & red grapes (fresh)        1 bunch of each

Onion (chopped)      1 onion

Celery (sliced)               2 plants

Butter      2   tablespoons

Fresh milk      ½   cup

Granulated salt       1 teaspoon

Pepper powder     ¼  teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Bring turkey giblets to a boil in a pot.  Add granulated salt, to taste a bit salty.

  Wait until turkey giblets are cooked.  Remove turkey giblets and drain in a

strainer.

2. Combine bread crumbs, dried grapes, onion, celery, fresh milk, granulated salt

and pepper powder.  Stuff the cavity of the turkey with combined ingredients,

but not too tightly. Tie with twine.  Rub turkey skin with butter.  Transfer turkey

to a rack set inside oven.  Heat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.  Roast turkey for

3 hours.  Meanwhile, pierce turkey skin regularly with a fork to check to make

sure whole turkey is cooked and skin is crispy.  Roast until turkey skin becomes

a deep golden brown.  Remove turkey from oven.  Place turkey on a plate and

decorate with turkey giblets and fresh grapes.
