(Page 1 of 1)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!!
