CREOLE ROAST TURKEY

Creole Roast Turkey image

Try this the next time you're in the mood for something a little different for your holiday dinner! It's from a November 1987 issue of Bon Appetit featuring a "Creole Thanksgiving". The sensational Creole Butter helps make the breast meat moist and flavorful and the Recipe #337979 adds to the Creole flavor. You may want to adjust the amount of "hot" in the stuffing to your own heat tolerance!
