Roast Turkey With Sherry Butter
1 Turkey - (10 to 12 lbs)
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 lb Butter
(or 1/2 cup olive oil or salad oil)
1/2 cup Dry cocktail sherry
Stuffing of your choice, (optional)
Clean the bird and remove the giblets and neck for soup stock.
Remove the wing tips, or first section of the wing, and add to the
soup stock. Salt and pepper the bird inside and out, and stuff if you
wish.
After stuffing, secure the opening with string or thread, or simply
close the opening by folding the skin over it and securing the legs.
Instructions are generally included with the bird.
Tie the wings to the body, and the legs together.
Melt the butter and allow to cool for a few minutes (or use oil). Stir
in the dry sherry.
Using an injecting needle or plastic flavor injector (available in most
gourmet shops), inject the butter and sherry mixture into each of the
legs, the thighs and finally the breast. Just put a bit in two or three
places in each of the mentioned parts.
Rub the bird with a bit more butter or oil and roast in your usual
manner.
I bake the bird at 325 degrees, uncovered, about 15 minutes a pound.
If you are stuffing the bird add 1 hour for the dressing. A 9 to 12 pound
turkey will take between 3 1/2 and 4 hours.
A meat thermometer placed in the thigh should register 180 degrees.
Baste the bird with its own juices two or three times during the roasting.
This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
Comments: You can use either a frozen or a fresh turkey in this recipe,
and the injection of butter and sherry will promise you a moist and lovely
feast.

Weight loss hints and tips
If you want to lose weight and also better your all round condition, then, as most people know, you ought to follow a specially planned healthy-minded meal plan. At best, this should include five portions of grains, cereals and vegetables each day and take in the right combination of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
In deciding on a meal plan, you have to endeavour to restrict your intake of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.
Dieters most certainly look at chain store and branded food products described as 'low in fat'. This is often incorrect, given that a food product may well be very low in fats, but still contain excess carbohydrates.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Your body must have water , it is indispensable for our body's survival and has no fat. Water also fills your stomach and reduces feelings of emptiness. A few experts claim that you should consume as a minimum six tumblers of water each day.
Rather than paying too much attention to which food types that you need to ban from your weight loss program, direct your attention to the "good" foods that you are able to bring into your meal plan. If one can insert some nourishing fruit and vegetables into your meal plan, you will be delighted to find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased chance of being tempted by those unhealthy mid-day sweets and chocolates.
