That's just one of the reasons to cook the turkey "upside down" cooking it breast side down in the juice ensures your white meat will be moist

3 (6 lb.) cans Kidney Beans

2 (6 lb.) Crushed Tomatoes

1 (6 lb.) Peeled Tomatoes

1 (6 lb.) can Tomato Paste

40 tbsp. Chili Powder

16 to 18 sm. Onions, chopped

 In your 15” or 17” Maca Dutch Oven Brown hamburger and drain off fat.

Add all other ingredients and cook on low heat for 2 hours.

The chili freezes very well and may be placed in freezer containers.  That is if you have any left!!

25 pound Turkey

4-5 sliced Onions

Season turkey as you’d like.  Put onions in bottom of 17 “ Maca Dutch Oven.  Place turkey on onions.  Place turkey breast side down.  This helps the juices go into the breast as it cooks.

Turn when turkey is almost done and brown breast with extra heat on top.

Bottom heat should have about 20 coals to get started and load top of oven with charcoal.

Replace coals every 45 minutes or so as turkey roasts.

These will cook fast.  Typically a 25 pound bird will cook in about 3 hours.

I save onions and put in turkey soup the next day.

40 lb Beef, oven Roast Boneless (one roast or several small ones)
2 tbsp. Pepper, freshly ground

Preheated 17” Maca Dutch Oven to temp. 325 Deg.  , place meat fat side up, without crowding and sprinkle with pepper.  Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the main roast.  (NO water, or rack)

Roast  2-3 hrs. depending on the size of the roast(s). Take out of Dutch Oven and put on a cutting board.  Tent with aluminum foil.  Let stand for 20 min. before slicing.  The roast temp. will increase about 10 deg. or in other words it will continue to cook during this standing time.

Approx 18 min. per pound for med. (base this on the weight of one roast only,
if you are cooking several similar sized roasts.)

NOTE:  Don't salt the meat, this will draw out the juices.  A sprinkle of garlic
powder is tasty.  Do not stick a fork into the meat while cooking this will allow
juices to escape and the meat to dry out and shrink more.

NOTE 2:  A food service rep told me that a roast will shrink less, if it is cooked
at a high heat 450 deg. for about 20 min. then the temperature lowered to 200 deg.
for the remainder of the cooking time.  This would take a longer in your Dutch Oven.

If you want to serve this hot put a 4 leg trivet under the lid of you 17”.  Turn it over so you are using the underside of the lid.  Make sure the lid is hot or warm.  Maca Lids stay warm quit a while!!
