I'm going to try it with a butterflied whole roasting chicken. At the supermarket, I couldn't believe the difference in cost. For about 7.5 lbs, the chicken was about $7, and the turkey breast over $27. AND the chicken was "minimally...

I would have thought the turkey needs more time than the stuffing.

I'm thinking of roasting a turkey breast part-way in the oven, then resting it (skin side up) on a bed of homemade stuffing in a casserole dish to finish the roasting.   Any reason this wouldn't work?

I can see how the absence of bad odors would mean "clean" -- but we have an almost instinctive reaction to mint. Maybe the "cool" sensation also is associated with clean, because something freshly washed feels cool due to...

My dental hygenist told me that mint is the most popular flavor of tooth polish in their office, because people "like that clean, minty taste." I tried to figure out why mint is associated with cleanliness, but I'm not sure. Anyone...
