GINA RENAE's

Just like everyone else, I enjoy a good meal. Here I'd like to place some of my favorite things to eat. The main things I look for in good food is "Great Quality Ingredients" and "Diversity in Ingredients"

I will start with one of my favorites. The "Turkey Sandwich". When Thanksgiving comes, I just love a unique version of this meal item. What makes it unique is it's secondary ingreadiant. Cranberry. It works! believe me! especially if you get good Cranberry sauce. Just "don't drink milk with it"! I like White Zinfindel:). If you like, just add a small amount. Also you have to add a good quality Cream Cheese. Once you have these three key ingrediants you have mainly what I'm talking about.

How I make Mine

Start with the bread, White Bread is good. I like to use Dinner rolls, they are small. I also get same day baked French Bread, this is very good (sliced thin). The best though is an Onion Roll. It make's a great difference. I put mayonnaise on both sides. Also I use good mayonnaise (Best Foods, others don't compare). Next I add the Cream Cheese, I try to slice it with a narrow thin knife to avoid globbing :). Usually it ends up as pieces of cheese with spaces in-between. Then I add thinly sliced jellied Cranberry Sauce. And then Finally the Turkey. Just about any good Turkey will do. Roasted Turkey is excellent. I like to barbeque Turkey whenever I get the chance. I do this in a oven style Barbeque. I like to use solid Mesquite Charcoal. I place the embers around the perimeter of the Turkey so as not to burn it. I check and regulate the heat according to the sound. Yes, sound. I listen for what I would call a nice gentle crakle sound. My best ones have been cooked at a low heat. For a longer period of time. An insertable thermometar will aid in determining when it is finished. Also the legs should wiggle freely when done. I add alot of fresh garlic also.
