Turkey Time

[Aramike]

Okay, so this year we're hosting a family Christmas gathering at our house. Considering I feel I got jipped on not having an actual Thanksgiving turkey this year (we had to eat a her grandmother's retirement home, wasn't bad really, but still - just sayin'), I've insisted on roasting a bird for the dinner.

I do about 95% of the cooking here, as the wife is not so good in the kitchen. Conversely, I'm pretty damned good in the kitchen. Yet, in all my years, I've never roasted a turkey.

Any suggestions?

Don't undercook it and make your own sage and onion stuffing.

Should be able to find a good recipe on the net.

I myaself am cooking lamb and pork. Had enough turkey so far.

Yeah, feed 'em MRE's for one Christmas and they won't care if you cook a sparrow for the next one:D

The only advice I have that might be useful is that turkey can be fried as well, and I'm told that it's quite good. Good luck with your endeavor, though:up:

Get youself one of those turkey deep fryer get ups and make sure you overfill it with oil and use a frozen turkey. Make sure the flames are turned up to maximum and do this in a cluttered garage.....Naw, only if you are redneck, otherwise 350 in the oven, 45 minutes per pound. Keep it covered in a roasting pan and the last 45 minutes uncover it to brown it. use a nice seasoning rub before you send it on its final destination.

Just ensure you take it's feathers off first ;)

I always fancied a three legged one but they were always to fast for me to catch :lol:

And remove the giblets and gizzards and innards from the cavity before you cook it.:doh:

Myself and Herself baked turkey legs on Monday night, before heading off to our respective families. 90 minutes in the oven with a red wine & onion sauce, serve with sage & onion stuffing, roast potatoes, and ham. Homemade mince pies to follow :)

I have yet to cook a full bird, mind. A tad daunting. My rule is that I'll cook anything smaller than my own head.

Only one.

Keep Subchaser away from the kitchen.;)
