ROTISSERIE TURKEY ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Stuff both cavities of the turkey, sew up the main cavity with string, and truss tightly, forming a compact shape. Place turkey on a work surface, breast side up. Rub it with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Have the rotisserie shaft fitted with one spit fork. Making certain that the turkey is centered, push the rotisserie shaft through the turkey between the legs, exiting at the neck. Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of the spit forks into the turkey, screw side up, and tighten the screws to secure firmly. Set the rotisserie shaft in place in the rotisserie ring. Loosen the retaining loop at the handle, and let the counterweight assembly hang down to counterbalance the weight of the breast. The rotisserie should rotate so that the heavy side of the turkey rotates down to the bottom. Swing the counterweight assembly so that the counterweight is directly opposite the heavy side of the turkey. Tighten the retaining loop. The counterweight travel should stick out a little bit above the shaft handle and retaining loop. You may need to adjust the travel of the counterweight as the food cooks, or if the motor sounds like it is straining. Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Set the rotisserie shaft into the ring. Cover the grill, and turn the motor on.
• Grill the turkey for 13 minutes per pound if stuffed, and 11 minutes per pound if unstuffed. To determine if the turkey is thoroughly cooked, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the inner muscle of the thigh, making certain not to touch the bone, and check that the temperature is at least 175 degrees.You will need to add more coals to the grill every 45 minutes to maintain an even temperature.

KITTENCAL'S CHICKEN CRESCENT ROLL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Butter a casserole dish (any size to hold crescent rolls).
• In a saucepan, mix half and half cream, 3/4 cup grated cheese (can use more cheese if desired) and undiluted chicken soup (can season with black pepper if desired).
• Heat just until the cheese melts (do not boil).
• For the filling --- (make certain that the cream cheese and butter are very soft) in a bowl, mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder (if using).
• Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined.
• Add in 2 tablespoons whipping cream or mayonnaise; mix to combine (add in a little more if the mixture seems too dry).
• Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste.
• Unroll the crescent rolls.
• Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture (or a little more) on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end.
• Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish.
• Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole.
• Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired) and sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired.
• Bake for about 30 minutes.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT ROASTED WHOLE TURKEY (GREAT FOR BEGINNERS)

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees F, convection oven heat set to 320 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to lowest position.
• Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity.
• Rinse the turkey well with cold water inside and out then pat dry with a paper towel.
• Place the turkey on a rack on a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with oil (I also like to add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder with the oil/butter mixture if you are a garlic-lover then use it).
• Fill the inside cavity loosley with prepared stuffing (if you are not using stuffing then tie the legs together with cotton butchers twine).
• Using clean hands rub the outside of the turkey with the oil/butter/garlic mixture.
• Season the turkey all over with salt and lots fresh ground black pepper.
• If you are NOT stuffing the bird place breast-side down on the rack, if stuffing leave breast-side up.
• Place/tent a large piece of heavy foil over the turkey.
• Place the pan in the oven, then pour about 4-5 cups chicken broth in the pan.
• Keep basting the turkey about every 30-40 minutes with the pan juices on the bottom of the pan (removing the foil and re-tenting every time you baste).
• If you see the juices starting to evaporate then add in more broth to the pan about 2 cups at a time.
• After about 2-1/2 hours of cooking time remove the foil.
• Keep roasting (325 degrees F) until the internal thermometer reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• The total cooking time for this 18-pound stuffed bird should be about 4 hours.
• Transfer the cooked turkey to a large serving platter, cover loosley with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving (DO NOT slice the turkey before 30 minutes or all juices will flow out of the bird!).
• --------------------------------------------.
• **NOTE** cooking times for whole turkeys cooked at 325 degrees are as follows.
• For an 8-12 pound turkey, roast for 2-3/4 to 3 hours.
• For a 12-14 pound turkey, roast for 3 to 3-3/4 hours.
• For a 14-18 pound turkey, roast for 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours.
• For an 18-20 pound turkey, roast for 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 hours.

KITTENCAL'S ROTISSERIE PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Cut small slits all over the roast then insert a half a clove of garlic into each slit.
• Rub olive oil all over the roast.
• In a small bowl combine the garlic powder with the Montreal Steak seasoning, then rub all over the roast using clean hands (at this point you may cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if desired).
• Place onto a plate and allow the meat to come down to almost room temperature.
• Since the roast tends to shrink and will fall apart easily make certain to tie up the roast securely using cotton butcher's twine.
• Starting at the meaty end of the roast load onto the rod and clamp down to secure (keeping the roast evenly distrubuted on the rod).
• Set grill to medium heat.
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for spit-roasting over indirect heat (or according to instructions for your grill).
• Pour about 1-inch water or wine into a drip pan then set under the center of the spit.
• Attach the spit to the rotisserie mechanism, then cover the grill.
• Roast until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted about 3-inches deep into the center of the roast away and not touching the bone reads reaches about 130 to 135 degrees F. for medium rare (be aware that the internal temperature will rise at least 5 degrees (to about 135-140 or more) after removing from the grill, for the best results start checking the temperature after about 1-1/4 hours and once it reads 110 degrees F or so, keep checking it often for the perfect doneness).
• Carefully remove the meat from the rod.
• Place on a carving board and cover with foil (DO NOT POKE OR SLICE or you will loose a lot of juice from the roast!).
• Allow to rest for at least 20 minutes or more before slicing.

KITTENCAL'S MOIST TURKEY BURGERS FOR THE GRILL (LOW FAT)

• Place on the barbecue and grill until done (about 12-15 minutes) if made on a outdoor grill.
• DELICIOUS!
