Turkey isn’t a protein that I would usually make. Growing up I always found it dry and bland. But you know what? Every recipe I found to make roast turkey called for only 4 tablespoons of butter. HUH?! This turkey was HUGE! No way only 4 tablespoons of butter was going to make this baby taste good! I used a ton of butter and made an amazing bacon gravy with the drippings. I’d like to tell you I ate the heart and liver, but I didn’t… I gave it to our precious puppy, O’hana.
I often have my best recipe ideas when I am hunting in my bow stand. Something that came to me was, I love Cobb salads! I also love to make food cute! So I found a ring that I could stack my Cobb salad ingredients in and made a fun tower of creamy yummy goodness!

Oh wow why haven’t I ever thought about using mayo with bone broth to make a dressing?!
That looks delicious. I have never been a big fan of turkey either. Unless it’s smothered in mayo I’ve always found it a little boring. This year I’ve decided to smoke my turkey. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out well. Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃
