Name: Killer Cranapple Turkey
Ingredients: 1 Turkey breast roast; 1/2 ga CranApple Juice; 1/2 c Salt; 1 tb Rosemary; 1 tb Sweet Basil; 1 Honey Bear

We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about 'the glory of Christ,' not about me. And when it is—in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of Him forever.

INSTRUCTIONS

TWO DAYS BEFORE YOU WISH TO SERVE: Start thawing turkey breast
TWENTY FOUR HOURS PRIOR TO COOKING: Place thawed turkey breast, salt,
rosemary, and sweet basil in a one gallon zip lock bag.  Add CranApple
juice to full, pour yourself a glass of the left over juice for working so
hard.  Seal bag and agitate to move and mix spices over roast. Place bag in
refrigerator, turning occasionally to spread the spice mixture around.
ONE HOUR BEFORE COOKING: Remove roast from marinade leaving as much spice
as possible on roast.  Let roast "air dry" until cooking.
Cook roast as you prefer (it just aint the same if you don't smoke it)
until a meat thermometer indicates an internal temperature of one hundred
and sixty degrees.  Coat the roast with honey.  Continue coating with honey
every twenty to thirty minutes until the thermometer reads one hundred and
eighty degrees.  Remove roast from heat and let sit for fifteen to thirty
minutes.  When you remove the "net" from the roast, most of the spice
should "hop off" leaving a nice checkered pattern and the best darn turkey
you ever laid lips to.
