ne of Gabi Strickland Walker’s favorite Thanksgiving recipes on her Walker Mtn. Eats/Facebook is a delicious Butter-Blanketed Turkey recipe from the Food Network. Not only is it extra juicy, it is also a gorgeous brown color, compliments of the butter basting. It requires some simple prep time, but it is worth it. Gabi says, “This is one of the recipes I post every year because it is so delicious. If you need a turkey recipe for the big day, this one is YUMMY!”
