How about a Recipe Swap?!

[Phantom Blooper]

Ingredients:
1 whole turkey
1 large lemon, cut into halves
salt and pepper to taste
butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely coated.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;

Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one on

each side. This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.


Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue

to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.


If you've followed these steps correctly, your turkey should

look like the one in the picture.

Bon Appetit!

½ lb.lean boneless top round steak
4½ cups water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tsp. beefflavored bouillon granules
Vegetable cooking spray
2 tsp. peanut oil
½ cup thinly sliced celery
¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh gingerroot (I use more)
2 cupsliced fresh mushrooms
1 (8 oz.) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
½ tsp. cracked black pepper
2 cups hot cooked fine noodles (I use the Japanese Yakisoba noodles - no need to pre-cook)
1½ cups fresh snow pea pods, trimmed & cut into 1 in. pieces
2 tsp. Sesame oil -- or more to taste.

Partially freeze steak, trim fat from steak. Slice steak diagonally across grain into 1/8 in. strips. Set aside
Combine water, cornstarch & bouillon granules (or substitute beef broth) in a medium bowl. Stir well & set aside.

Coat a wok or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add peanut oil. Place over med. heat until hot. Add celery, onions & gingerroot. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from wok.

Add steak stir- fry 3 minutes or until browned. Add cornstarch mixture, water chestnuts & pepper, stirring well.

Cover & cook over med. heat 10 minutes. Stir in noodles, vegetables, snow peas & sesame oil. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Yield: 7 cups.

I have also made this, substituting sliced chicken & chicken broth for the beef.

Both are good.

egbutler1,
The Beef Yakisoba recipe looks quick and easy. I was just wondering, do you prefer using a teflon coated, non-stick surface wok or the typical steel wok? I'm finding that high cooking temperatures cause the non-stick coating to chip and bubble. I read somewhere that "quick frozen" vegetables, fish, poultry, fruit etc., loose very little, if any, of their nutrients. Yeah, but as you say, fresh vegetables are the best if they are available.

Phantom,
That Lemon Turkey is a fox. What part do you munch on first?

I don't know what type of wok it used to be. non stick or regular cause its so old and full of the tastiness from many meals. I'd go with just a steel wok.

I broke this one down to the basics, I do a lot more to mine. Since im posting it i figured you can add other stuff to your taste. I make mine hudge bake em' 20 mins on 1 side than flip and do another side of it. Than put them in some sauce and let em' sit all freaking day. Awesome!

Italian Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/3 cup water (more or less)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Romano cheese
1 medium onion
garlic
salt
pepper
Preparation:

Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture should be moist but not so that the
meatballs fall apart.


Shape meatballs to desired size and place on a broiler pan (I wet my hands before shaping each meatball and
it helps make a nice meatball.) Broil until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn and broil the
other side. When finished, add to spaghetti sauce and simmer at least 20 minutes but hours is better!

Blood Sausage

Ingredients
Sausage casings
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons lard
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 beaten eggs
A grind of fresh pepper
1/8 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 bay leaf, pulverized
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb leaf lard diced into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups fresh pork blood


Instructions:
Have ready: Sausage casings. Cook gently without browning 3/4 cup finely chopped onions in 2 tablespoons lard. Cool slightly and mix in a bowl with 1/3 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 2 beaten eggs, a grind of fresh pepper, 1/8 teaspoon fresh thyme, 1/2 bay leaf (pulverized), and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 lb leaf lard diced into 1/2-inch cubes and 2 cups fresh pork blood.

Fill casings only three-fourths full; the mixture will swell during the poaching period. Without overcrowding, put the sealed casings into a wire basket. Bring to a boil a large pan half full of water or half milk and half water. Remove pan from heat and plunge the basket into the water. Now return pan to very low heat (about 180°F; 82°C) for 15 minutes. Test for doneness by piercing sausage with a fork: if blood comes out, continue to cook about 5 minutes more or until barely firm. Should any of the sausages rise to the surface of the simmering liquid, prick them to release the air that might burst the skins.
To prepare, split and grill them very gently.
Enjoy !!!

.....LOOK, YOU CHOW-HOUNDS......unless it's a "Crok Pot" recipe....I'm NOT interested!!!!
TRUTH: the best meals I've had at home were straight from "THE POT"....HA! HA! HA! HE! HE!
I buy Flank Steak, and fresh 'shrooms, flavored stuffing, ONE onion, RED cooking wine, GOOD beef stock, and add my "special seasoning"!!!
Gotta' flatten-out the steak, roll the stuffing into it, and TOOTHPICK it into a nice roll....OR TWO!! Cut the onion as you like, and add the rest of the ingredients....cook on LOW for 5-8 hours.....sometimes I add "new" potatoooes, the little babies....AND THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST MEALS...VERY CHEAP...EASY TO FIX...EXCELLENT TASTE, AND TENDER!!!!
DON'T OPEN THE DAM LID!!!....DUH!!.....SEMPER HUNGRY....Doc "Chow-Hound"......

EG they've been in the oven now for about 1/2 hour at 350 broil, switched to bake and kicked it up to 400 about 5 minutes ago

Did not have Italian bread crumbs but i do have Ritz crackers we'll see how it all works out directly but i'm thinking i may have used too much water

gotta go--->Dave

The monster mushrooms. This one speaks for itself.

Saw the link, Bulkyker. Dammm fine mushroom. I wonder what the storage, refrigerator etc., life is. I might coat it with Tempura type crumbs and then either pan fry them, the slices, or place them in the oven, with a slice of prosciutto, provolone cheese and a light marinara sauce OR I could just drink a whole lot of Bud,screw the tempura mix, povolone, marinara, prosciutto and just pan fry it as shown adding hot sauce to taste.
Darn fine pictures. Makes me want to travel to Wisconsin.
