Nooo…..

I called Honeybaked the other day and their glaze contains gluten. Again. They went gluten free about a year ago and I guess it didn’t work out so well for them. They were gluten free at easter. Well at least they gave it a shot. If you’re having Honeybaked for Thanksgiving, have an extra piece for me k?

Oh well. Now I’ve got to figure out something else. I’m pretty bummed though. A friend of our’s was saying that he had a Honeybaked Turkey last thanksgiving. They put the same glaze on the turkey as they do the ham. He said it was the best turkey he ever had in his life. [sob..]

I’m looking at some recipe sites to see if I can figure out how to do the honeybaked thing on the turkey anyway. That sounds really good doesn’t it? Even if it doesn’t turn out perfect, I can’t imagine it being awful or anything. I mean it’s honey and spices. You can’t go wrong with that.

Found a copycat recipe on Recipe Zaar.  They say that Honeybaked uses a butane torch to caramelize the glaze on their hams.  There we go.  That’s what I was wondering about.  How on earth they get it crispy like that.  I was picturing my turkey being a sticky mess.  Now I have an excuse to buy one of those butane torch gadgets.  Awesome!

    Thanks! I think everything will turn out great too. Especially since all the turkeys now have those little pop up things that tell you when it’s ready. :)

    Flamethrowing devices and food. Sounds like a great idea to me. My gf and I made a turkey last year with a raspberry glaze/rub thing and it was awesome. All her idea though.
