Every Thanksgiving, home cooks across America try to outdo themselves by preparing the most over-the-top turkeys. This year, the people at Reynolds Wrap are introducing a new way to bring the thunder to Thanksgiving dinner: smother the whole darn bird in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Reynolds Wrap has a step-by-step guide to making “flavor blasted turkeys” on its homepage, presumably to help move some of the company’s Plastic Oven Bags.
… Take a bag of your favorite hot corn puffs (the recipe doesn’t specify Cheetos), blend the chips into a fine dust, coat your trussed-and-buttered turkey with the powder, put the carcass in a Reynolds Oven Bag, and pop it in the oven at 350 degrees till the thickest part of the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees.
… Reynolds also notes that you can use this same technique to make another version using tangy chips like Cool Ranch Doritos.
