Oat And Herb Encrusted Turkey Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Clean turkey (discard giblets and organs), and place in a roasting pan with a lid.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried basil, ground sage, salt, and black pepper. Using a basting brush, apply the mixture to the outside of the uncooked turkey. Pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan, and cover.
• Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh measures 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove bird from oven, and allow to stand for about 30 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Dice onion and celery.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan or sauce pan.
• Add onion and celery and saute until soft.
• Add oatmeal and seasonings. My mom uses poutry seasoning and that is really nice too.
• Stir until well mixed.
• Moisten with water until clumpy.
• Gently pack into the turkey cavity bottom and top.
• Roast the bird as you would with bread stuffing. It smells wonderful.
• You can also make this as a side dish if you steam it in the pan. Made like that, it's called scurly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a bowl, thoroughly mix the milk and prepared brown mustard. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, sage, and rosemary. Dredge each turkey breast first in the milk mixture, then in the oat mixture to evenly coat.
• Bake turkey 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the oats are crisp and the internal temperature of the turkey has reached a minimum of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the yogurt and whole grain mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the cooked turkey to serve, or use as a dipping sauce.
