Roast
Turkey and Fixings by Marilyn Fogel
Several
days before you would like to serve the turkey, buy a large, Butterball Turkey
(frozen). Let it thaw in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Purchase 1 disposable
aluminum pan.
On the
morning you plan to cook and serve the turkey, arrive early at the Lab. Take
the wrapper off the turkey, toss it out. Look inside the two cavities of the
bird—front and back. Remove the wrapped turkey parts and throw them out.
Preheat the oven to 325 F using the Convection setting.
Wash
the turkey inside and out with cold water. Put it into the aluminum pan. Place
the pan and bird on a cookie sheet.
Sprinkle
the turkey with salt, drizzle olive oil over it and then some spices (whatever
you find in the Lunch Club spice cabinet.) You should have the bird in the oven
NO LATER than 9 am. Pretend you are busy. Put the turkey in the oven. Neglect
to turn on the exhaust fans for about 1 hour until the Building smells of roast
turkey. Turn on the fans. Go back to work and get some science done.
At
11:30 return to the kitchen. You should see some juice in the bottom of the
pan. Baste the turkey and giggle the leg. If the leg is completely stiff and
there is little juice, turn up the temperature to 375 F.
Open
two cans of cranberry sauce—lunch clubbers eat both jellied or whole berry
sauce. Make two boxes of instant mashed potatoes by following the recipe on the
back of the box. You will need 1 quart of milk for this and 1 stick of butter.
At
12:15 pm, the turkey should be done. Check if it is done by wiggling the legs,
which should move freely. Lift the turkey ON THE COOKIE SHEET out of the oven.
Use the baster to put the juice into serving bowls.
Place
on the table with a simple salad and some bread. Done.
Whiskey Hot Dogs by Marilyn Fogel
These are favorites! This is an old Fogel Family recipe.
4 packages of hot dogs (32 total): Buy some chicken and some
all beef.
2 1/2 cups of ketchup
2 1/2 cups of brown sugar
2 1/2 cups of cheap bourbon or any other blended whiskey
Preheat oven at 300 F (low temperature).
Mix the ketchup, brown sugar, and whiskey together in a
baking dish. Add the hot dogs so that they are in one layer. Use two pans if
necessary. Put hot dogs in the oven at 300 F for 15-20 minutes. Turn down
temperature to 275 F. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Sauce should thicken.
Serve with buns, mustard, potato chips, a
side dish, and salad. This recipe does not work with tofu dogs!
