It’s a morning show feature here on Mix 96.9…because I feel like we could all use a little more good news in our lives…all bad news has been CANCELLED – at least for the moment.
Presented by Cullman Regional Medical Center! Helping you get better by being better every day!
Today, we’re featuring area Halloween events on today’s Happy Headlines!

A turkey cooking hack…that I bet you’ve never heard of…and it’s Crazy But True…
I’m sure you’ve heard of all sorts of marinades for your turkey. There’s the Zataran’s injectible….or even the mountain dew brine. But the latest trend, introduced by Chef Elizabeth Hieskell, involves slathering your turkey in butter, wrapping it in bacon…and then putting your bird in….. a pillowcase. The chef stresses using a clean pillowcase…..soak the pillowcase in butter, wine and chicken broth before inserting the turkey. They say…once the turkey is fully marinated, it is placed in an oven and baked to perfection. I would highly recommend not putting said pillowcase back on your bed. A pillowcase marinated
Thanksgiving Turkey….it’s…
Crazy But True!
