Turkey Breast For Thanksgiving

Any tips? This will be my first time cooking a turkey. I do not have a crockpot, or slow cooker, or etc yet. Would a large Pyrex dish work? 

 

I think I am going to use this recipe:

Also, should i make it sometime tomorrow and just heat it up before eating it, or should i make it the day of? I would have asked all of this sooner, but I was originally planning on eating the turkey my mom is making. I know that she won't take cross contamination precautions, so I feel I need to either do this myself, or not eat turkey. I will probably just use the pan drippings as "gravy" - LOL!

 

Thanks in advance :)

A Pyrex dish will be fine. And you can thicken the gravy with potato starch.

 

I have found that turkey is best just roasted plain. You don't even really have to baste it. Every time you open the oven door to baste you lose heat. Just rinse the turkey breast, pop it into the dish, then roast it. When it's done, take it out, put the meat on a platter, put some potato starch into a cup with cold water and pour it into the drippings. Boil it for a few minutes and you're done. If there aren't enough drippings you can always get some gluten-free broth to add to it.

 

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Making it tomorrow or the day of is fine.  To heat it back up, just add some broth so it doesn't dry out, and don't overheat it.

Yes you could cook the day before and just reheat. Also on the pan drippings, use 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small jar with a little water, shake and pour into pan drippings. Stir while heating to keep from clumping up.

Thanks everyone! I am rather difficult though...I have to go above gluten free :(

 

I can't have corn or potato, since I am on the SCD Diet (no grains, and no starches like potatoes, yams, turnips, etc - it's torture, but it seems to be helping :P ) and the only SCD legal broth I have found is organic vegetable broth - it would work in a pinch, but the smell is very strong and I don't like it too much. 

 

Would coconut flour work instead of corn/potato starch? Lol. 

 

Also, I found one of those tinfoil roasting pans in the baking aisle and just grabbed one of those. The turkey breast I got was just under 7lbs, and I think the pan holds like 15.

 

Instead of making mashed potatoes, I am making mashed butternut squash. I think I'll still like it, but I will miss my mashed potatoes. -Sigh!- 

 

For dessert, I am making my 3 ingredient cookies - coconut flour, butter, and honey. I love them. A quick, healthy dessert!

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!!

The flour/cornstarch is just a thickening agent so the coconut flour should be ok.  You might find that there are not enough drippings from the breast to make any kind of gravy though.  The broth always has a strong smell but will not be as bad after you made your gravy.  You can make faux mashed potatoes with cauliflower.  I guess it tastes very similar to potatoes. You just boil and mash like you would potatoes.  Worth a try anyway.  A tip with the aluminum pans, they are very flimsy so put it on a cookie sheet or double it up in the oven so your turkey doesn't end up on the floor.

The squash sounds good!  Mashed sweet taters with peanut butter and a squished bannaner is good for a sweet version.  Add a little cinnamon for seasonal effect.

 

Psyillium husks are another way to thicken things instead of flour.

My turkey turned out pretty good! Thank you for all of the tips..especially the one about adding broth to the turkey when heating it up. That really did help!

 

I didn't bother with making gravy, the broth worked pretty well - but maybe I'll try that next year :)

 

I do miss peanut butter. I am "allergic" to peanuts (came up as allergic on an allergy test, but I don't think it's a true allergy - I avoid them regardless) so I haven't had peanut butter in awhile. Maybe almond butter would work? The squash did come out pretty good. I just put cinnamon in it. It tasted pretty similar to sweet potatoes, only even better.

Almond butter and Sunbutter (made from sunflower seeds) tastes darn good...I'm also allergic to peanuts and don't miss peanut butter at all.

^ Yes! I LOVE Sunbutter, but I had to give it up for two reasons... 1, it is high in histamine and I'm still trying to watch histamine levels, and 2 it is illegal on the SCD diet (no seed butters allowed) :( But once I can have cheat days, I'm grabbing a jar! Have you ever tried Sun Cups? They're just like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, only they're made with sun butter instead. They're my favorite candy...and they're gluten free, nut free, and soy free. They said they're coming out with a lactose free version soon too! I can't wait for those cheat days...

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
