I have placed the veggies under the bird, inside the packet of aluminum foil, to add to the juices. I'm going to add apples and sage inside my turkey this year. I have a surplus of both from the garden.<br /><br />I grew up with stuffing inside the turkey, but I've never liked the texture done that way. I much prefer dressing on the side.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-46651319117285777452012-11-19T18:43:44.281-08:002012-11-19T18:43:44.281-08:00We use foil, too.

I may try that, as I don't stuff with bread stuffing, but do that in a pan.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-71420984010457222022012-11-19T17:49:08.739-08:002012-11-19T17:49:08.739-08:00Hi live and learn,

I've never done that, though.<br /><br />I usually tent it with aluminum foil while I cook it, and stuff the cavity with fruit (often a quartered apple or an orange) and/or an onion, and herbs (often thyme and sage and rosemary). It makes for a moist, flavorful bird.<br /><br />I do like basting the bird.
