Remove dried tomatoes, olives and mushrooms from glasses, pour

oil, take 2 tablespoons and fry chicken breasts and zuchinnis
until gold brown. Add white Balsamico vinegar to the
chicken-zucchini mixture. Add all other ingredients to this

shrimps are done (about 10 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper and
Pesto. Remove from oven and add (carefully) to the cooked
noodles. Let salad rest 30 minutes before serving. Adjust
seasoning. Makes 4 servings.
Note from Barbiel: This is one of my favorites! Great
to grill parties because can be easily doubled.

Rosmary
Turkey
Submitted by:
Barbiel |
2,5 kgs turkey breast
salt and pepper to taste
margarine enough to fry (5 tablespoons)
1/2 glass Miracle Whip Balance
150 ml water |
Marinade:
250 ml dry White wine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons rosmarin needles
2 bay leaves
|
|
Wash turkey breast and using a
fork make small holes everywhere on its surface.
Marinade:
In a bowl pour white wine, minced garlic, rosmarin needles and
bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Add the turkey to the
Marinade, make some more holes with the fork and let stay for
about 3 hours, turning turkey from time to time.
Cooking Turkey:
Remove turkey from Marinade (do
not throw away!!!). In a pan fry turkey all around with 5
tablespoons margarine until golden. Season with salt and
pepper. In a oven plate place turkey with frying fat and add
the Marinade. Mix Miracle Whip with water and brush turkey all
sides with this mixture. Bake for 2 1/2 hours at 340°F,
turning turkey from time to time and always brushing with
Miracle Whip/water and with Marinade (with a spoon over the
turkey, if too dry add more water to plate but no wine any
more). In the last 10 minutes before done, reduce temperature
to 280°F and cover with aluminium sheet. You can use the
remaining Marinade and make a sauce if desired. Makes 4 to 6
servings.
Note from Barbiel: Great
dish accomplished by a mixed green salad and noodles or rice (or
even cooked potatoes).
