Decorating Jelly Jars--Thanksgiving







These are so cute! My sister made all the parts of these turkeys out of paper punches and just glued them together and then put them on the top of her jelly jars. These were out name cards for the Thanksgiving table and we get to take the jelly home to enjoy! What a fab idea!

Recipe: Broiled Turkey Breast Loin


Hello,


Sorry for not having posted in a few days. This week my friend Angie and I are doing a little "boot camp" of our own for the ladies at church. It is Monday through Friday at 5:30am so I am having to wake up at 4:55am to get up and get to the church in time to open up. It hasn't been bad but last night it caught up with me and by 10pm I was falling asleep on the couch. Plus, today is our Super Craft Day for church....we do a morning and afternoon session and people have a choice of what crafts they want to do. There is a cost associated with all the crafts, but it is a great way to knock out some fab Christmas presents. I will take my camera with me so I can post some of the masterpieces!

The recipe I have for you today is for a Broiled Turkey Breast Loin. When I first looked at it in the store, I thought it was a pork roast because it was packaged in the same vacuum packed packaging that they come in but upon further inspection, it was a Ginger Lime Turkey Breast loin. I decided I would try it and see how it was. It was great! And, it was easy! You could bake it in the oven for and hour and a half or you could broil it for 35 minutes. I decided I only wanted to wait 35 minutes so I tossed it on a jelly roll pan covered in foil and popped it in the oven, turning it at 15 minutes. It came out caramelized and crusty goodness! I think you could do this with a plain turkey breast loin and add one of those salad dressings or salad dressing like marinades and it would work too...I think you definitely need a wet marinade for this.

Anyway, it had a little caramelized crust on the outside and was tender and juicy on the inside. I bought mine at Sam's in a 2 pack for $13 and there was more than enough of one of those to feed 3 people, you could probably feed 4-5 people with one loin, maybe 6.

Stay tuned for pictures from craft day! I hope you can make it a beautiful day!
