- . Go back underneath the skin to rub seasoning all over the meat.Gourmet Tip:
For even more tenderness, juiciness & flavor, soak birds in something acidic for 6+ hours, like vinegar water, apple or orange juice, brine, or even beer or wine! - Peel the Apples & Onions, cut into chunks, mix with Salt (and with the garlic mixture if unable to get underneath the skin), and stuff bird/s. Drape Bacon over the top. Cover loosely with foil, and bake: – Turkey at 325° for 12 minutes per pound to internal temperature of 165° – Game birds at 300° for 1-2 hours to internal temperature of 150° Gourmet Tip: Always insert meat thermometer into the meatiest part of the bird without touching bones in order to get the most accurate read.
- Uncover during the last hour to brown. Remove and discard Apples and Onions before serving.
