It's turkey time! Try a new way to cook this bird. It's packed full of flavor. Enjoy!

Pinch of parsley, finely chopped
Pinch of fresh thyme, finely chopped
Pinch of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of paprika
2 oranges
1 lemon
Preparation:
Thaw the frozen turkey.
Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, thyme and rosemary.
Grate the oranges and lemon peel and set the oranges and lemon aside.
Add the peels to the herb mixture and toss until combined.
Rub the
herb mixture over the skin of the turkey.
Place the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan.
Cut the oranges and lemon in half and squeeze their juices over
the turkey.
Also sprinkle the turkey with the pepper and paprika.
Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast.
Roast
turkey uncovered, at 325 degrees F for 2 1/2 hours or until the
thermometer registers 170 degrees to 175 degrees.
Baste turkey often with the pan juices.
Remove and discard the skin before serving.
Have a great day all :-)

Turn heat down, but continue boiling and whisking for one minute.
Remove from heat & whisk in cheeses until smooth.
Put mac in a 2 quart baking dish, pour cheese over top and stir.
If you want the topping (my kids don't like it) melt the 2 tblspn marg, stir in crumbs and sprinkle on top.
