"HEALTHIFIED" GAME HENS
4 Cornish game hens
Celtic sea salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, quartered
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 TBS coconut/macadamia oil or butter (or more if desired)
24 cloves garlic
2/3 cup organic chicken broth (or dry white wine)
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Rub hens with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Lightly season hens with salt and pepper. Place 1 lemon wedge and 1 sprig rosemary in cavity of each hen. Arrange in a large, heavy roasting pan, and arrange garlic cloves around hens. Roast in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil; pour over hens. Continue roasting about 25 minutes longer, or until hens are golden brown and juices run clear. Baste with pan juices every 10 minutes. Transfer hens to a platter, pouring any cavity juices into the roasting pan. Tent hens with aluminum foil to keep warm. Transfer pan juices and garlic cloves to a medium saucepan and boil until liquids reduce to a sauce consistency, about 6 minutes. Cut hens in half lengthwise and arrange on plates. Spoon sauce and garlic around hens. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, and serve. Makes 4 servings.

Cornish Game Hens
I'm not a huge fan of turkey... OK, I despise it! I eat it at Thanksgiving because I love tradition. Instead of turkey for this Christmas, how about a special dinner of Game Hens?
