Ingredients
  • Turkey
  • 1 jar Black bean with garlic sauce (found in Asian market)
  • 1 round onion
  • 1 bunch green onion
  • 1 bunch (about 5 stalks) lemon grass (must be fresh)
  • salt
  • 2 T vinegar

Directions
  1. rub the outside and the cavity of the turkey with salt and set aside
  2. slice the round onion, green onion (into 1 inch strips). Pound the lemon grass with a mallet bottom to top to release the flavor and cut into 1 inch strips and mix it all into the black bean garlic sauce. Add vinegar into the mixture.
  3. Stuff this mixture into the cavity of the turkey. Any residue left on your hands rub on the outside of the turkey.
  4. Bake turkey as instructed for it's size.
  5. Caution: This stuffing is not to be consumed!! It is just for flavor
  6. Bonus: Take the drippings in your roasting pan and add water being careful not to dilute it too much. This is a highly flavorful dripping and will be dark brown due to the black beans. Mix some corn starch and water n a bowl and add to the boiling mixture to thicken. Use a wisk to insure a lump free gravy. You'll love this too!!
