THE
Boneless Turkey Roast If roasting a huge turkey intimidates you or you’re a small group, then a boneless turkey breast roast is the perfect dish for you! Carving is simple, and if you’re not dedicated white-meat eaters, then choose a breast roast stuffed with thigh meat and you get both dark and white in each slice. Roasting on a bed of vegetables elevates it for even browning and adds delicious flavours to the pan juices. INGREDIENTS Lepp’s boneless turkey roast, either stuffed with thigh meat or plain, about 3 lbs 1 package of Lepp’s Turkey Brine and brine bag, optional ½ package Lepp’s turkey rub or Spicy Bird rub, or a mix of your favorite herbs and spices ½ cup olive oil 2 onions, peeled and quartered 3 carrots, chopped in 2-inch pieces 3 stalks celery, chopped in 2-inch pieces Fresh herbs like thyme or sage 1 ½ cups Lepp’s chicken broth, or a mixture of broth and white wine Roasting pan just large enough to hold the turkey breast roast METHOD If you wish to brine the breast roast, prepare ½ recipe of Lepp’s turkey brine, according to recipe instructions. Brine roast overnight.
DISH
One hour before baking, discard brine mixture and rinse roast. Pat dry and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix Lepp’s turkey rub with olive oil and rub over all sides of roast. In a roasting pan slightly larger than the roast, place onions, carrot and celery pieces, and fresh herbs if desired. Pour chicken broth over vegetables and place roast on top of vegetables. Bake roast for approximately 30 minutes per pound, until internal temperature registers at 150-155 degrees. Start checking after 75 minutes. Baste with pan juices a few times in between. The roast will get quite dark, but feel free to tent with tin foil after one hour if you feel it’s browning too much. Some of the blackened outer crust will come off when you remove the netting, so don’t panic too much about a very dark crust. When internal temperature registers 155 degrees, remove roast from oven, place on cutting board and tent with foil for 10-15 minutes. Strain vegetables and broth, pressing on vegetables to release all their delicious juices. Thicken pan juices to make gravy or add to any gravy you have on hand. Discard strained vegetables. Cut off netting with a scissor and discard. Slice roast into desired thickness. Serve with pan juices or gravy.
The Farmer and the Foodie Better When Shared, the purpose of Lepp Farm Market. We launched the market ten years ago with “fresh from our farm to your plate,” expressing our desire to continue farming, a way of life that our family loved. However, as the local food movement gained momentum, everyone from big box stores to fast food outlets began proclaiming variations on this theme, and it became time for us to reevaluate our purpose. After operating for a few years we discovered that even as our farm continued to grow, our passion was broader than just farming. The real joy and fulfilment came in sharing what we produced with you and hearing how you were inspired to share it with
your loved ones. Rooted in our lifelong love of welcoming people into our home to gather around the table, you might even say that food is our love language, our way of nurturing not only the bodies of those we love but their souls as well. We’re not about tencourse gourmet meals, but in simple preparations of wholesome food, as the true satisfaction comes from time spent together. We’ve been privileged to gather a team that loves and appreciates true community as much as we do. We trust you feel at home when you visit us and inspired to create delicious food to enjoy with your family and friends.

Financial changes are a fact of life. Changes occur at every turn, including when students leave home for the first time, people get married and when families purchase their first home. One of the biggest financial changes occurs when starting a family.
to get a handle on their finances: • Can I afford big-ticket baby items related to safety and comfort? Items may include a new vehicle with high crash-test ratings, or renovations to a home to provide a safe nursery. If renovations are unlikely, then would-be parents may need to consider the costs of moving. • Have I considered daily child expenses? Diapers, formula, laundry detergent, clothing for each stage of growth, and various other items are necessary when raising a child.
• Will I need daycare? In order to afford added expenses, both parents may have to work. BabyCenter. com states that a family’s average childcare costs are roughly $755 per month. • Can I afford life insurance? Once you begin a family it is important for both parents to have a life insurance policy in place to provide for surviving family members in the event of an untimely death. Couples who want to start a family can make the transition go smoothly by figuring out their finances before welcoming a baby into the family.

When mulling the cost of starting a family, prospective parents can ask themselves the following questions
• Consider how much your health insurance will cover and how much adding a child to a policy will increase your rates.

BabyCenter.com offers a cost comparison tool to help prospective parents get started on creating family budgets.
Make a list of such items and their potential costs.

Starting a family can come with a measure of sticker shock, particularly for young couples without much financial history. Since the 1960s, the costs associated with raising a family have risen exponentially, says the financial resource MarketWatch. Between 2000 and 2010, costs rose by 40 per cent.
