Preparing the Dressing

Prepare dressing in a cooking pan directly over medium heat. Melt butter, add onions and bacon then saute 3 minutes. Add port, red wine and stock cubes and bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes. Remove pan to

allow ingredients to cool. Add remaining ingredients and mix.

Preparing the Turkey

Although not required, you may want to preheat your grill 3 minutes.

Wash inside of turkey and dry with paper towels. Pack breadcrumb seasoning into the turkey cavity. Combine the butter, thyme, lemon juice and rind together in a bowl. Using turkey baster, insert butter mixture under skin covering the turkey breast.

Truss the turkey with string and place it on a baking

pan or roasting rack that rests into a cooking pan. Remove the cooking grids from your grill if neces- sary, then place the cooking pan and turkey in the center of your grill. Turn one outside burner to low, the other to medium, and close lid. Cook indirectly for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until cooked. Halfway through cooking time you may alternate burner temperatures so that the turkey browns evenly. Once cooked, remove dressing from cooked turkey, slice and serve.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL

You may never want to calJout for pizza again! FoNow this pizza dough recipe, or purchase ready- made pizza dough found in your grocers refrigerated section--next to the biscuits. Slice and serve directly from the griJl. Serves 6 - 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons dried yeast

1cup lukewarm water

1/2 teaspoon sugar

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup tomato paste or Italian tomato sauce

6 ounces sliced pepperoni

1red pepper, roasted and sliced

3/4 cup pitted black olives

8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese

It'seasy to customize this recipe with toppings to suit your family's taste. For spicier crust, lightly rub the dough with olive oil then spice with pepper and gadic salt before spreading your tomato sauce.

Preparing the Pizza Dough

Combine yeast, water and sugar together and let stand in a warm place until mixture starts to foam. Add this yeast mixture to flour and oil and combine to

form your pizza dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Cover and stand in a

warm place until doubled in size. Knock back dough and roll out to a rectangle the size of your cooking pan or baking dish. Place dough into a lightly oiled pan.

If you purchased a ready-made pizza dough, simply open can and roll dough into a lightly oiled cooking pan.

Preparing the Pizza

Spread tomato paste or Italian tomato sauce on top of your pizza dough. Top with pepperoni, red peppers, olives, and lastly, mozzarella cheese. Or if you prefer, you may place cheese first with toppings on last.

Place cooking pan in center of grill and cook indio rectly, with one outside burner on high and the other on low, for approximately 20 minutes or until bottom of crust is light brown. Lastly, raise the lid and finish cooking pizza by turning burner under the cooking pan on high for about 2 minutes. This will insure the center of pizza gets brown. Then turn off heat, slice and serve directly from pan.
