Kalua Turkey
Brenda V

10-12 pound turkey                                                        2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
½ cup margarine                                                                               1 large piece of ginger, chopped
1 Tablespoon Hawaiian salt                                          5 drops of liquid smoke

 Slice margarine and put into cavities, neck and stomach and under wings and drumsticks of turkey.  Mix remaining ingredients and rub all over turkey and cavities.
Bake in browning bag at 400 degrees for 1 hour and 300 degrees for 3-4 hours until cooked.  If I don’t have a browning bag, I just cover it with foil.
Shred turkey and mix into turkey juices and serve.  Take fat out of juices first.  Save bones for jook if desired.






Roast Chicken
Brenda V

 Sprinkle neck and body cavities of whole broiler-fryer chicken with 1 teaspoon salt.  If desired, stuff with favorite stuffing.  Hook wing tip onto back to hold neck skin.  Tie legs and tail together.
Place chicken directly in shallow pan; it is not necessary to use roasting rack.  If desired, brush chicken with salad oil, shortening, butter or margarine.
Roast according to timetable.  To test for doneness, drumstick meat should feel soft when pressed between fingers and leg should twist easily out of thigh joint.
