In my young adult years, Granny would ask me "Do you want to just use the electric food grinder instead?" I always responded, "No, Granny, we can't do that!" beef if substituting for giblets) into the soup. Keep stirring every now and then, and keep cooking until done. Each time stirring, add some parmesan cheese into the mixture. Use one whole standard-sized container of parmesan cheese during cooking. Keep a whole container of parmesan cheese to sprinkle on the top layer of each dish proportionately once dished out onto each dish and also to place on table for people to add more as they like if they want to. Estimated 2+ hours cook time proportions listed here. Takes 4-6 hrs for larger proportions. Ingredients: 1 typical turkey, we recommend the Butterball brand 2 large bricks of butter (room temperature) Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and chives Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil Optional: ground oregano, parsley, ground celery Directions: First be sure to follow the directions on the package for thawing the turkey. (Typically a whole turkey needs to thaw for one to four days in the refrigerator; the bigger the turkey, the longer the thaw time.) Once turkey is thawed, very thoroughly pat dry all of the turkey with a clean, dry cloth suitable for use directly on food and typically thrown away after. Place turkey on a large plate or other suitable clean, dry surface. Mix ¼ cup or less each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and/or chives (and your choice of optional herbs) Cut small holes all over the turkey, then fill each with about ¼ to one inch of the mixture. Rub one large whole brick of butter all over the whole turkey and cover it, thickly. Then season all over the whole turkey’s outside with a light-dusting of the same mixture. Use a deep-dish baking pan large enough for the turkey, fill about ¼ of the pan with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Put the turkey in the pan and cover top of turkey with baking pan lid or aluminum foil to avoid burning. Follow the directions on the package for baking (changes typically per lb). Check turkey about every halfhour, basting turkey with a squeezepump turkey baster or with a brush-baster to keep turkey soft and moist while baking and seal in flavoring and juices. (Turkey could also be flipped at the halfway baked point to prevent burning.) The details from this recipe can also be used to combine with your other favorite turkey recipe! Bon Appetit!
