A Cornish game hen isn’t actually game. It’s a young farm-raised chicken with a misleading name. My sister didn’t like them, she found it annoying how small they are, but we made a number of them last year and there was more than enough for everyone. And the left overs are also great since it can be used for a lot of different dishes and freezing leftovers is super easy!
I find them easier than turkey. They taste so much better and well, as I said. They are so much easier.
For turkey I spent forever making sure they were alright.
I am sure that you know the game. For exaple when I was just doing the turkey breast I had to make sure to keep it moist.
Brine and baste, then baste and then repeat 100 times.
But for the best results I tend to make a lot of extras. Because even if its only a small Thanksgiving dinner, the best part is the leftovers next day.
I also like to add if you can get the turkey skin to wrap the roulade in it adds so much more flavour and keeps the white meat from drying out. Getting some turkey necks or wings on the side to make gravy makes it even better. The Cornish Game Hen – A Thanksgiving Feast
