I like having a little amount of skin left on the turkey to get the juices running down the meat and I stuffed a little few pieces of butter inside the skin to have a buttery taste.

    1. Omigosh, that looks fabulous. Do you suppose you could do the turkey breast in a slow cooker? I have watched several of your videos in one sitting and can’t wait to try some of them.

      1. Bonita

        Hi Deb, I’m so glad you enjoyed our turkey dinner recipe, and thank you for watching our shows and enjoying them. I’m sure you can cook the stuffed turkey in the slow cooker because its the heat that cooks it for sure. It may not be brown but it would be tasty. Enjoy Bonita

    2. Madonna

      I would have to leave the carrot, turnip and carrot whole as I am not fond of parsnip and turnip; but my husband is. Growing up we would often have turnip that wasn’t so good, like you had mouth full of twigs. People would say they were cattle turnip. I just got turned from turnip. Nice way though of having turkey dinner for two.

      1. Hi Madonna: Thank you for your message and for stopping by. I’m glad you stopped by and enjoyed our turkey dinner for two recipe and video. Some old turnips got what my dad would call it sticks inside. That is usually in the middle of the turnip and can be cut out and just keep the turnip out around. Not everyone likes parsnips and I’m sure if you had a veggie you like more thats what you will use. The reason behind our recipe is you can make a turkey dinner for two or one and not have to make a big old turkey. Enjoy Bonita

    3. So grateful you showed us this one for 2. OUr daughter and family live far away and it just isnt thanksgiving without the turkey! Just love your festive table. Can hardly wait to try your recipe. Honey Crisp apples are at their prime here in southern Ontario! Blessings to you!

      1. Hi Nancy: Thank you for your lovely message and for stopping by, I’m so glad you enjoyed our NEW recipe this week. I have so many people saying its just me and thats to much to make. So I said to Raymond I need to make a few recipes for just one or two people because not everyone got a big family all the time. Enjoy to the fullest and message anytime, sometimes its a few days before I get to all my message so excuse me for that. Bonita

    4. Gail Bergen

      Hi Bonita, this is Gail from Ontario. Can you make turkey for two without the stuffing the same way? Neither of us eat stuffing. Suggestions?

      1. Hi Gail: Yes for sure, just put the turkey breast in your roaster with salt and pepper, onion and 1 or two cups of broth and follow the same baking info. It will be nice to get a turkey breast with skin on so it don’t dry out on you. Enjoy to the fullest 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day. Bonita
