TURKEY, CHEDDAR AND CARROT BUNS

Got the recipe from Jenny. I am interested already when I saw this recipe in Jenny's blog, but some projects kept me til today to bake this buns.

Believe it or not, this is my first buns I baked, and I am so ecstatic when the buns turned so good, though it made my arm sore cos I need to knead it til elastic (heez....I don't have bread maker's machine so I did it manually).

The only different from the original recipe, I made it with turkey sliced instead of bacon, and I think, I over baked it so it made the turkey a bit burnt :( (or it supposed use bacon??)

Anyways, my hubby and I liked it so much. For us, this bun is different than the other snacks I used to make.

So, here we are ....... Turkey, Cheddar and Carrot Buns ;)
