URKY LURKY

Steps:

• 1. Cook pasta thoroughly and place in a HUGE bowl. Cover to keep warm.
• 2. Cook broccoli florets for 5-10 minutes, and place in pasta bowl when done. Cover.
• 3. On Medium-High heat, brown sausage and drain. Add salami and cook for additional 2 minutes. Add to pasta bowl and cover. *Make sure sausage and salami are bite sized*.
• 4. Take 1 1/2 Tablespoons of oil from the 1/2 cup and add to skillet.
• 5. Add onions and peppers and cook until soft. Add garlic, basil, oregano and crushed pepper to skillet and cook 1 minute. Add to pasta bowl.
• 5. Add remaining oil and olives and parsley. Wait a few minutes to add the cheese so that it doesn't melt, unless you would like melty cheese, which also tastes good.
• 6. Mix, mix, mix! Mix very well until all pasta is covered in ingredients.
• Serve warm or chilled topped with some Parm.
• I have only eaten it warm and it's probably best that way -- but I'm sure cold would taste similar to pasta salad -- mm!
• 7. Enjoy!
• *cooking times may vary -- everytime I ever made this I was distracted in one way or another so you might be able to make this more quickly than I did.

A SIMPLY PERFECT ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.
• Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.
• Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), about 4 hours.
• Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

WORLD'S SIMPLEST THANKSGIVING TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pull the neck and giblets out of the cavity; ditch the liver and save the rest of the giblets for gravy. Dry the turkey with paper towels, then season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill the turkey with aromatics like chopped onions, carrots, apples and herbs, then place breast-side up in a roasting pan and brush with melted butter. Tent with foil and roast for 2 hours (for a 10- to 12-pound turkey; add an extra 15 minutes per pound for larger birds). Remove the foil, baste with more melted butter and crank the oven to 425 degrees F. Roast for another hour or until the meat at the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Let rest while you make the gravy.
