Notes
To give turkey a crispy skin finish, line broiler pan with foil and place turkey on it skin side up. Broil in oven for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
Slice your onions and lay over the top, the flavor will seep down into the turkey along with the garlic
You can slice the turkey or break it into chunks
Turkey is cooked when the breast meat reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees F.
