Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 When you boil a turkey or chicken, do you take the skin off first?

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Boiled Turkey?? I have never heard of this. I cook turkey breasts in the crock pot. They are really good that way, I also remomve the skin before I do cook it. What is it like boiling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 I heard about a study this weekend that said if you cooked a chicken/turkey w/ the skin on (but removed the skin before you ate it) that the fat content was the same than if you had taken the skin off before cooking the meat. Keeping the skin on also keeps the meat hydrated and more yummy. =) >On Wed, 01 Oct 2003 08:42:56 -0500 Sandberg wrote. >When you boil a turkey or chicken, do you take the skin off first?

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Boiled Turkey?? Just an FYI in case you do not know - boiling any poultry is very smelly so you have to add some spices when boiling or it smells gross. Sage is a great one to add or basil.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Boiled chicken (I think) is a worse smell than turkey. I never noticed. It doesn't smell as fraqrant as baked turkey, but it smells good to me. christi > Boiled Turkey?? > > Just an FYI in case you do not know - boiling any > poultry is very smelly > so you have to add some spices when boiling or it > smells gross.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 You can make great biscuits and gravy for breakfast for only three or four points (depends how big you make the biscuits). I buy the white gravy packets and add lots of pepper to it and some salt if it needs it. Then I make the reduced fat Bisquick biscuits and you have a really yummy breakfast. You can also add the vegetarian sausage to it for more flavor. I made this last time my parents were up here and my mom couldn't believe it was low fat. She kept asking " Are you sure it's only 3 points?? " Kris -----Original Message----- I was buying the in the jar ff gravy, but when i was at the store i noticed that the gravy packet mixes there had NO fat in them. All you have to do is add water. They are cheaper than buying the stuff in the jar. And i guess if you wanted to add some more flavor to them, you could add ff broth to them, too. I plan to try this soon, have a turkey breast cooking. (boiled this time, so i dont fall prey to the lure of crispy chicken skin) lol christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
