How do you make the sauce for the roasted turkey please
How to make the sauce pls
Can I use a microwave?
A regular microwave or a microwave oven?
I’m actually smack in the middle of making this and I just scared in the middle of unpacking my brand new electric grill. Is there no way to make this without an oven?
You can use a grill
My dear ur d best
:)
I love to cook
Welcome to the best place to do that
I never actually thought i could steam without water. Tomorrow will actually try it..my oven doesn’t have a temp guage so how do i know i havethe right amount of heat.keep up the good work!
Please let me know how it turns out. You can put the meat in and check it every 10 minutes.
Gosh this looks amazing and I love that it was not fried but baked. What do you think about grilling it instead to make the outside crispy.

Grilling will be a great touch! all that smokey flavor from the grill… yummers!!
I like it cos the meat aint fried so no unhealthy soaking in a pool of oil. I’ll let you know how mine turns out!
Please do let me know and share a picture :D
I see what you did there with the formatting and the serving size ;) if you are ever in need of a free 5-6 weeks service in the form of college interns, I will definitely apply as it fits my major (actuarial science–insurance math/finance). After the cookbook, I propose ready-made Nigerian dinners, a Naija/West African food truck, a chipotle-style restaurant/carryout, etc etc.
I love the recipe. I remember my aunt making something similar except she would broil it (I later learned that broiling only affected the top part) and of course we had to turn it as if frying dodo (we live and learn). And again, thank you for that stew base. Honestly, if possible, patent that. Because it would be painful especially if some non-Naija/West African person (see: white) columbuses it as they’ve done so many others (ex. the bakassi/derrière/butt)
Tunmi o.. You are gradually becoming my favorite person :D. So I might have to take you on this internship offer.. please inbox me, we need to have a chat honestly. Summer is fast approaching and I can use some help with a few things I have on the go.
Yes, broiling only cooks the top. I cant wait until i have an oven that can broil and bake at the same time. Now I switch between baking and broiling. If you leave the oven tray low enough, the top will actually get some action.
The sauce hen.. I am already seeing variants of it online. And thanks re books and restaurants – let us chat further okay.
