Finger Paint Your Poultry - pareve
Posted by : Elaine Radis
1/2 c Paprika
Salt
Garlic powder
Onion; dried
Pepper
Water; to make paste LIKE a thick finger paint
This will do about a 12 lb turkey. Cut the amounts in
half for a roasting chicken. Other seasonings are to
taste. I never did measure.
1. This is a coating you can put on all poultry before
roasting. Basically you make a paste of the above
ingredients. It should be the consistency of finger
paint; thick and not runny. If you have kids, put them
in old clothes and let them help. I smear it in and
out of the cavity. Notice that this does not have any
Gravy Master or oil; both unneeded in my opinion.
2. The skin cooks nice and crisp. Remember to baste
during cooking. BTW, use this in the Nuke too.
Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in there when we
have lot's of other baking/roasting to do. that the
turkey had been made in the nuke.
3. Since this has no added fat; (no usual added margarine
or oil); it helps keep the turkey moist without adding
calories. I have done this on skinless breasts too. It
adds minimally 'calorie wise'.
