if you cant figure this out shouldnt be cooking

Well, I think the recipe and instructions are no brainers...... If you rule out all the other in the steps to prepare...it is quite plain what the four ingrediants are. I think if your having trouble with this you shouldnt attempt to cook it...lol

One poorly written, confusing mess!

This recipe is very poorly written and extremely confusing. In the ingredient list, there is an entry for "Roasted Tomato Red Pepper & Basil Sauce" (I'm guessing there are supposed to be some commas in there somewhere as I have never heard of roasted tomato red peppers). We are told that the recipe for the sauce follows. However, when we get to the recipe and are instructed to prepare the sauce, we are told "Put the first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl." The first 4 ingredients under "Roasted Tomato Red Pepper & Basil Sauce" (sic) are the brioche or hamburger buns, the kosher or sea salt, the pepper, and the tomatoes. I'm assuming the buns aren't ACTUALLY supposed to go in the sauce, but that leaves me at a loss: I have no idea what the first 4 ingredients of the sauce are supposed to be! It's really a shame that nobody bothered to proof-read this, because it looks like a great recipe and I am interested in trying it at some point. However, I simply don't have the time to go deciphering and proof-reading and editing someone else's pathetically shoddy work.

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
