Make It or Buy It: Turkey
For Father’s Day I planned a “Thanksgiving” style meal for my hubby, Turkey with all of the fixings. I usually buy a Honeysuckle White frozen bone-in turkey breast, but Wal-Mart was out of my favorite turkey. I spotted the Jennie-O Oven Ready Skinless Boneless Turkey Breast, and I thought I would give it a try.
The Jennie-O turkey was a bit pricey for just one turkey breast, but it was easy to make. No thawing, no cleaning, just pop it in the oven and go. However, it didn’t stretch as far as my favorite Honeysuckle Turkey does. We did get 3 meals out of it, but no turkey stock for those tasty Turkey Noodles.
In a pinch for a quick meal the Jennie-O did a great job, but for the money I’ll be buying the Honeysuckle White Turkey and making a big batch of turkey stock.

I have been buying the Jennie-O oven ready turkeys fo a few years. I really like them!
Thanks Mimi! I liked the Jennie-O turkey too, it was nice not having to clean up a giant mess in the kitchen before and after cooking the turkey.
