Dunno about turkey, but you can keep a chicken moist by shoving a lemon up it's clacker. Or a half full beer can, because any food can be improved with the addition of beer in some form!

Hey I have a friend who is diabetic and I want to bake something for him but I don't know what kind of desert is good for someone with that kind of health concern.

Something he can indulge in without stretching it.

Use a sugar substitute?

I need turkey cooking advice. Mainly, how do I make sure this thing isn't dry?

Cook it in a bag. This prevents the moisture from escaping and makes sure you don't need to baste.

We already screwed it up. It was quite dry. For future reference, what kind of bag?

[fqllve]

There are oven bags specifically for turkeys but I've even heard of people using paper grocery bags (dunno why you would though).

Also, last time I cooked a turkey, I made a Screamin' Cajun Turkey.

Thaw turkey, remove giblets. Make tiny cuts into legs, breast, and thighs of turkey. Crush pablano, habanero, and thai peppers into a paste (spice for flavor. I added chili powder, white pepper, black pepper, garlic, onion powder and thyme), and smear the paste over the cuts. Stuff the turkey with hot-sauce infused bread stuffing. Put the whole damned thing into a plastic oven bag, and that into a roasting pan. Bake until a meat thermometer reads at least 165F in a thick part of the bird, away from bones. Shield your face when you open the bag. Seriously. (It ‼burns‼)

Eat, but bring plenty to drink, lots of biscuits, and a bunch of tough-guy friends. Enjoy the manly tears.

Rotisserie?

Or shove a beer can in it, that helps.

Has anybody baked cinnamon rolls before ? I usually do pastries for christmas, and I am not happy with the glazing recipes I find for cinnamon rolls. Mostly because they always use cream cheese, and I don't like cream cheese.

[Sirus]

I know that my family uses powdered sugar in our glaze recipe, and I'm fairly sure there's no cream cheese. I can try to get the exact ingredients later.

[Ancre]

That would be awesome Thank you !

[Sirus]

No problem. Just remember that "later" might be anywhere from five to eight hours away

[Ancre]

It's fine. I will cook and glaze them at christmas morning, so there's still time for it.

Heh, I can even take pictures if they look good enough

[Sirus]

Alright, turns out that it's as simple as powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix it up and spread it on the rolls while they're hot.

To my knowledge this is mostly a myth and that most artificial sugar is bad for diabetics. >_<
