Now, I'm not talking Full blown Thanksgiving Day Turkey, I'm inquiring about Turkey Tenderloins, filets', drumsticks, Ground or b*****s in their separate parts. What is your favorite part and how do best like to prepare/cook/season them? Just wondering, it's my new passion to eat healthier by asking the real home cooks out there what makes them happy!

Answer 1

Hello

Try using a rub to season your turkey tenderloins, filets, drumsticks, or a whole turkey breast. Here is a recipe for a rub.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

    * 3/4 cup paprika (Hungarian if you have it)

    * 1/4 cup black pepper, freshly ground

    * 1/4 cup celery salt

    * 1/4 cup sugar

    * 2 tablespoons onion powder

    * 2 tablespoons dry mustard

    * 2 teaspoons cayenne

    * 2 tablespoons lemon zest

Preparation:

Mix everything together. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Lasts for about 4 to 5 months.

Also if you are cooking a turkey breast, I would also chop up 1onion, 1 shalot, half of green pepper, 3 green onions (scallions), 4 cloves of garlic, 1 jalepeno pepper with or without seeds (your preference) and chop in a food processor.  Also cut up two stalks of celery.

Rub your Turkey breast with your rub inside and out and under the skin. Rub your chopped veggies mixture inside the cavity of the breast and stuff it under the skin of the breast as far as you can go on both sides. Throw in your cut up celery.

If you have a slow cooker this is the easiest, less time consuming, and most tender and delicious way to cook it.

Cook in your slow cooker on low for 9 to 10 hours. You can season over night and get up early and put in your slow cooker before going to work and it will be ready when you come home.

Answer 2

My favorite thing is drumsticks in the crock-pot, you can use fillets to just put them in there with 1-2 inches of water and cook High three or four hours they turn out nice and tender.  I used to do this all the time when I was single, only I would put it on low before I left for work and it would be almost done when I get home, heat up some veggies and whip up some potatoes and you are ready to eat.

Answer 3

Easy Crockpot Turkey Breast

1 whole turkey breast, thawed

½ cup of Water (yep, that's all you need!)

1 Packet of Ranch Dressing Mix

1 Packet of Italian Dressing Mix

1 Packet of Turkey or Chicken Gravy Mix

Put breast in crockpot, pour water around the base. Sprinkle all 3 dry seasoning packets over roast. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours on low. Remove to cutting board and let sit 15 minutes; slice thinly across the grain (electric knife works best).

It makes great tasting gravy, too.
