As you've seen, we are exploring all the wonderful ways you can use essential oils, including cooking and flavoring your food. Now I will preface this by saying that I can only endorse using Young Living Essential Oils for ingestion as they are extremely safe because of the Seed to Seal process by which they are grown, distilled and bottled. Many other oils that you can purchase are often made with synthetics and therefore you would NOT want to put them in your body.
Many times when people are writing about new delicious recipes for holiday meals, they always leave the turkey (or the main dish) to the end. Well, I figure, you typically prepare and cook that first as it often has the longest cooking time so why not share it first!
In my house we don't typically inject our turkey. We have come by the easiest way EVER to cook a moist turkey, the Oven Bag!! Seriously, check this out. You open the bag, insert the turkey, follow directions on bag and cook, come back when the button is sticking out. For reals, that simple. It bastes itself.
But if you are one that likes to inject your turkey, here is an awesome recipe to try using your Young Living Essential Oils.
