(Page 1 of 1)I have a question about this...it says cover with plastic wrap???? Wouldn't that melt?? Confused by this..thanks Amber
we call this 'ugly turkey' in our house, but it's really tasty and tender every time. Who needs to wait for a special occasion to make this easy meal? Not me!
We made this for Thanksgiving and are making it for Christmas too! It's got amazing flavor and everyone loved it. I would be careful to check on the temp and not over cook or it dries out!!
