I am going to try this recipe. I have a question:

Does the cheese cloth have to be remved at any point so that the turkey browns?

My mother always wrapped the turkey in tin foil and remove it for the last hour to brown.

Hi Marion,
Thanks for the recipe! I heard it about it first on Q, and then had to do some of my own sleuthing to find this website.

I’m away from home attending university and will be cooking turkey for the first time on Sunday for a couple friends. I have been sifting through roast turkey recipes all week; thanks for providing an alternative way to a tasty turkey that doesn’t involve massaging butter under the skin of a cold, dead bird. ..I’m just saying.

You have inspired me — 20 people coming for Turkey on Monday — using you’re recipe for turkey.
Heard you on CBC — inspired me enough to
try the carrot cake tonight.

Hi Marion, I am such a newbie at this turkey dinner thing and I am going to give your recipe a go. I do have one question–do I put the cover on the roasting pan or leave it uncovered?

Hi Marion Turkey recipe sounds familiar — the cheesecloth part and jelly in the gravy reminds me of aa partridge recipe I used to do from the cook I learned to first love cooking –Madame Jenine Benoit. She’s up there, in my books, with Julia. I am writing about interview with Geonne Gomesh (sp?) regarding rice steamers. I poach lovely eggs in mine, but it won’t cook rice throughly for me! Will try your turkey, but I always brine my poultry first. Cheers and Best Wishes Judy Biggs, St John’s NL.
