Ingredients

  • 1 LGCM Amish Turkey (we recommend 1/2 lbs per adult)
  • 1 lb LGCM Fresh Side Pork (sliced per 10 lbs of turkey)
  • 2 cup Water
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cheese Cloth (or netting)
  • Remove giblets & neck from the inside of the turkey and set off to the side (for gravy – see link below for recipe). Pat turkey dry and place on top of a rack set in a roasting pan.
  • Season the outside of the turkey to taste with salt & pepper, or your other favorite seasoning. You can also stuff the bird with aromatics such as fresh herbs, lemons, onions, etc. at this point.
  • Place the cheese cloth (or butcher netting) over the turkey and side pork to help keep the side pork in place as the turkey cooks. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  • Cover with the turkey with aluminum foil to help keep moisture in the bird.
  • Once the turkey is fully cooked (make sure the breast meat is 165ºF) remove from the oven and let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes on a cutting board, then carve, and enjoy!
