A Great Barbeque

Manti Turkey (or chicken)

This is the recipe used for the scrumptious barbecued turkey served at the Manti pageant.  We love it!

2 cups Sprite

1 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup oil

4 Tb. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. horseradish powder

turkey breast (or chicken)

Mix ingredients, marinade meat overnight. Grill.

This is a marinade recipe for a lot of meat. We usually use it for a crowd, and generally use 5-10 lbs. of meat.  

Grilled Potatoes

This is also a favorite. And it's easy. 

6 med. potatoes, cut in wedges

olive oil

salt and pepper

(We also like to use seasoned salt, steak grinders, or a garlic mix like Montreal Steak Seasoning to season the spuds.)

Boil potatoes for exactly 8 minutes. (If  they're boiled too long they will be mushy.) Drain and rinse with cold water. Coat with oil and sprinkle with seasonings. (Add some onion and bell pepper wedges for fun.) Grill for 18-20 minutes. 

Simple, Yet Tasty

This is not a fancy meal, by any means, but it is easy to make and my husband and I both enjoyed it. These recipes only make enough to feed 2, so you may need to double the amounts for your family.

Bacon-Tomato Bagel Melts

2 Bagels, split and toasted
8 slices tomato
8 strips bacon, cooked
1 c mozarella cheese, shredded (I used colby jack, because that is what I had)
Ranch dressing

Place bagel halves on baking sheet, face up. Top each with 2 tomato slices and 2 bacon strips. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 5 inches from heat from 1-2 minutes. Serve with Ranch.

Seasoned Oven Fries

2 medium baking potatoes
2 tsp butter, melted
2 tsp canola oil
1/4 tsp seasoned salt

Cut each potato lengthwise in half; cut each piece into four wedges. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the butter, oil, and seasoned salt. Add potatoes; shake to coat.
Place potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees fro 20-25 minutes or until tender, turning once.
