Friday night was my annual family 'sleep over'. Generally, this just involves a BUNCH of my relatives coming in during the afternoon ... having a supper that I provide as most are from a distance ... and then a VERY late night of chat over 'beverages'. Often there are tents all over the yard, and a house strewn with sleeping bags.
This year, in addition to the salads, I opted to roast a turkey and serve it cold. How boring I thought ... so ... I made a stuffing of ... watermelon, kiwi, peaches, apples, plums, lemons, lime juice, peach schnapps, and coconut rum. I was afraid that it might be too sweet, so I added a generous scoop of dried chili peppers. I let that 'blend' over night, poured it into the bird in the morning, and layered the breast with maple cured bacon (a trick I learned from my son).
I basted it with its own juices as it cooked. When it was done, it was a master piece. Is this not about the prettiest bird you have ever seen?I was also VERY yummy!
