I have a 15 pounderDo you cover it the whole time with aluminum foil or the pan lid? How do you make it moist and not dry? How often do you baste it? Do you bake it on 325 or 350? Heeelppp! What secrets do you have to making it a good moist turkey? How long for each lb?Thanks for any help!
Everyone is differentIt all depends on your body type and the foods you are eating If you were big on meat and meat by-products and you suddenly switch to more fibrous foods, it could take quite a while for your body to push out that old gunkI found that certain combinations of foods were a bad idea (like eating a huge salad for lunch and then snacking on about 20 baby carrots laterIt was just too much for my body) It took my body about a month to fully get used to the large amounts of fruit and veggies that I eat.
Whenever you make a sudden and radical change to your intake, your body needs time to adjustThe more radical, the longer it takesAdditionally, when you make a sweeping change and start eating things you may not have eaten before (or haven't eaten in that combination before), you can actually trigger allergiesThese manifest themselves in various ways, most of them quite unpleasantKeep track of what you eat (quantity and type)Then eliminate one thing at a time, for about a weekIf the symptoms diminish or go away, try adding that food back, a little at a timeKeep track, and eventually you'll find out what (specifically or in combination) is giving you trouble, and you can adjust your habits accordinglyGood luck!
Anyone eating a diet largely comprised of baked beans and brussels sprouts could probably supply enough fuel to cook them! A lot of the gaseousness does not go away, but with a veggie diet, it is a lot less unpleasantIf it is a problem, then try activated charcoalMunch up some overdone toast with your beans, the blacker the betterThat should absorb some of the gas.
If your healthy diet is playing havoc with your guts, then how healthy is it? Legumes are not good for you and should probably be avoidedThey have only been a part of the human diet for a short time and they are not easily digested by humans (unlike meat, which is easily digested)Eating veggies is a good thing howeverThings like green beans and peas should probably be cookedThings like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, etc are probably fine rawBut do yourself a favor and spend some money on meatEven a small amount is much more nutritious than a plate of beans.
I rinse it in and out.pat dry.salt pepper.tuck the legs and wings in.Butter or oil the whole birdCover with foil.I don't baste mine.about 45 minutes before it is done I uncover turn the oven to 400 and let the turkey get golden brownCook 15 to 20 minutes per pound at 350 degrees.Don't overcook is the secret.Have fun ! Merry Christmas.
