Wish You Happy Holidays!
THANKSGIVING TURKEY TIPS The secret ingredient is your time and lots of it. Buying, preparing, and roasting a turkey are time-consuming. With careful preparation and attention to timing, you will be rewarded with a beautiful and tasty main course. Your first decision will be selecting between a frozen or fresh turkey. A fresh bird is more expensive, but will save you time and precious refrigerator space. Buy the bird the day before you wish to roast it, but remember to reserve your turkey with the butcher. What a catastrophe to find that the only turkey left for your intimate four-person dinner is a 26-pound glacial beast! A frozen turkey needs to be defrosted. The preferred method is to defrost it in the refrigerator. (Yes, the one filled with the rest of the holiday fare.) Allow one day per 5 pounds. A 15-pound turkey will require three days to defrost thoroughly. An alternate method is to defrost the bird in a cold water bath. Allow 30 minutes per pound. That 15-pound turkey will require only 7 1/2 hours to defrost using this approach. It is also possible to use a combination of these methods. Now you are ready to prepare the turkey for roasting. First remove the giblets. This is a fundamental step not only because you might want to use them to make the gravy, but also because it is disconcerting to find these paper-wrapped lumps when carving. Next, rinse the bird inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels. If you are stuffing the bird, do so now with a freshly prepared dressing. Stuff loosely, allowing about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per pound of bird. Brush the skin with melted butter or oil. Tuck the drumsticks under the folds of skin or tie together with string. Lastly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The thermometer should point towards the body, and should not touch the bone. Place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, and into a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven. Use the following chart to estimate the time required for baking.

Weight Roasting Time (Unstuffed) Roasting Time (Stuffed) 10 to 18lbs 3 to 3-1/2 hours 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 hours 15 to 22lbs 3-1/2 to 4 hours 4-1/2 to 5 hours 22 to 24lbs 4 to 4-1/2 hours 5 to 5-1/2 hours 24 to 29lbs 4-1/2 to 5 hours 5-1/2 to 6-1/4 hours Bake until the skin is a light golden color, and then cover loosely with a foil tent. During the last 45 minutes of baking, remove the foil tent to brown the skin. Basting is not necessary, but will promote even browning. The best test for doneness is the temperature of the meat, not the color of the skin. The turkey is done when the thigh meat reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees F, and when the breast meat reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F. If your turkey has been stuffed, it is important to check the temperature of the dressing. The stuffing should be 165 degrees F. When the turkey is done, remove from the oven and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
THANKSGIVING GRAVY TIPS Chop the turkey neck bones and brown them in oil until golden brown. Add water or chicken stock, a medium size onion, and giblets. Bring it all to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Set aside. If you are boiling broccoli, carrots or string beans, save some of the water after they are done. Set aside. When the turkey is done, add pan drippings to simmering turkey bone / giblet stock. Scrape up the turkey particles remaining in the pan and put them in the gravy as well. While bringing the concoction to a boil, add corn starch to thicken, or the vegetable water to thin the gravy. Stir constantly until you get the consistency right. Strain and serve. Calorie reduction tip: Skim the fat before pouring the drippings into your gravy using a gravy strainer. If you don’t have a stainer, try adding a few ice cubes to quickly cool drippings. This will not adversely affect the gravy flavor.

Caramel Flan Cheesecake Caramel: 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cheesecake Base: 1 pound 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1 1/4 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean, split & 1 tablespoon orange zest scraped 6 eggs 1 cup heavy cream
Caramel: In a heavy metal sauce pot combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Over high heat cook the sugar to a deep caramel color and pour out into a round 9-inch cake pan, turning around the perimeter so as to cover the sides and bottom of the pan. Set aside to cool completely while you make the cake. Cheesecake Base: Preheat the oven to 325° F. In mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, on low speed work the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla, and orange zest. Continue to mix for 2 minutes until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and scrape down after each addition. On low speed slowly stream in the heavy cream. Scrape down every 30 seconds. Remove from bowl and pour out into prepared cool caramel pan. Bake in a hot water bath for 1 hour. When finished the cake will be slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator. Make sure to cool down for at least 4 hours before flipping over. The cake can be made up to 2 days in advance. Flip over by placing a 12-inch flat plate over the top of the cake pan. Hold with a firm grip and flip cake upside down. Let the pan sit on top for a second. Lift pan off the cake and serve on its own or with berries.

S
peck fishing is taking center stage for anglers that have just arrived for the winter. The mouth of the Kissimmee River is providing good catches for anglers venturing onto the river during the dark to daylight hours. Minnows and/or jigs are accounting for fish. Many of the specks are small and under the size limit of ten inches. All fish under the limit must be released so that they can mature and reach full size. The speck bite in the main lake is focused mainly in the Kissimmee grass or just on the outside edges of the cover. Hydrilla can be found in all areas of the lake and is a great place to find and catch specks.
Small jigs or minnows dabbled into holes in the cover will work best. King’s Bar and the Buckhead Ridge area are holding fish in and along the grass lines. Anglers are catching good numbers one day and then returning the next day to find the fish either have moved or are not biting. Much of the Kissimmee grass in the lake is sticking a foot or more above the grass and leaning over which makes it much more difficult to get a bait in to the strike zone. A very small jig fished on/or very near the bottom and moved very slowly is accounting for some better sized specks for experienced anglers. Patience is a huge key for finding specks. Nearly every angler can catch them once located, but only a few skilled anglers can locate fish consistently.
