The real secret is carry over! A turkey is already starting to dry out at 165F, so if we pull it out then by the time it's rested it will be up near 180 and dry as a bone! I call this the 150 Degree roast turkey breast but actually I'd going to be pulling mine out of the oven as 145 degrees! It will wind up "carrying over" to at least 155 degrees and any bacteria we may be worried about is plenty dead! The reason the government suggests 165 is that salmonella dies instantly at that temperature.  However it also dies if held at 150F for about 4 minutes, and it will be hold that temp and more as it rests. We just need to be sure our probe thermometer is properly positioned in the thicket part of the breast! I'm not going to give you a total cook time, because it's going to be different for every bird! It's all about that internal temperature.  But mine was ready in less than two hours roasting at 450 degrees F! To read more about the internal temperatu...

Today's Passion for Food, we explore a Southern Soul-food classic, braised greens and pork! The pork neck bones might freak you out, but take my advice and give it a try! All of those extra bones really add amazing flavor and hey, bone broth is all the rage right?! If you can't find those, or just don't want to use them there are plenty of other options! My second choice would probably be pork shoulder, pork ribs, ham hawks, smoked turkey legs/wings, or really anything that you could braise! As for the greens I used mustard greens here but the classic would be collard greens. Other greens of your choice would work, such as Kale or spinach. The seasoning at the end can be a little tricky, I cant tell you exactly how much you will need. We simply want to season, taste, and adjust till we're happy! This is often served as a side dish, but with the amount of pork I used and the richness of the broth this double as a main course with no problem. Southern So...
