Perfect Roast Turkey

Instead of checking quotes for auto insurance that my sister asked me, I look for some interesting recipes to cook for dinner. However, since it will be Thanksgiving tomorrow, I found mostly thanksgiving recipes and the most popular during this holiday is Turkey… I haven’t cooked any turkey recipe yet. That’s why when I found this recipe- Perfect Roast Turkey I didn’t think twice but save the procedure and who knows I might cook one for the coming Christmas, hehe….

perfect roast turkey
Here’s the recipe:

Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 2hr 30 mins
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients
1 (12 pound) fresh turkey
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
1 Spanish onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons unsalted (1/2 stick) melted butter

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Take the giblets out of the turkey and wash the turkey inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the turkey cavity. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, lemon, onion, quartered, and the garlic. Brush the outside of the turkey with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the turkey.

Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours, basting from time to time with pan juices, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with foil; let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice the turkey and serve hot.

Accounting work

It’s almost end of the year 2009 and I’m sure most of the companies busy with the end year report especially if they are using the calendar year in accounting cycle. And as expected the financial firm like LLas Vegas accounting firm has the bulk of work during this time. Their financial solutions and assistance is of greater value, hence they are expected to be working closely with their clients. I remember when I was working as accounting staff before; we work hand in hand with the CPAs that work on the financial books of the company. Though they ask a lot of documents, it was a great experience to be working with them.
