I much prefer to eat my turkey cooked , thank you

I like turkey.... and whats nice is using the leftover meat for soups, or just a cold snack

(for the record, lol, i just do the quizzes sent to me from mike... i'm not obsessed with food lmao)

I like turkey with all the sides and stuff for about two days. Then thats it!

One star if you want to strap on the feedbag, five stars if you like meatsicles.

ah no.

That was about as good as some of my ex-wives could cook.

From Ridge's Kitchen, here's two important turkey-cooking tips that will avoid this embarrassment:

1. Defrost turkey ---->INSIDE<---- of fridge for three days.

2. Use cooking bag

Way to many people just have no idea how to cook anymore.

Many years ago, I was a young, single officer serving on a Navy destroyer out of Florida. My skipper decides what fun it would be to invite all the single officers to his place for Thanksgiving. He decided to make a grilled turkey over a charcoal fire. We got there at about noon and by the time the conversation small-talk began to peter out around 1:30 PM, the turkey was almost done, sayeth the Cap'n. Now 4:00 o'clock rolls around, we quitely watched the football game and stared at our watches -- still no turkey. At 5:00 PM, the Captain announces that the turkey was very undercooked and the coals were dying. Mrs. Captain tosses the turkey into the microwave. We ate about 6:30 PM. The turkey tasted like rubber and smoke. The goofy day didn't end there. I met my girlfriend (a blonde, British girl I had only been dating for a couple of days, but it was smoldering) for some dancing and drinks. That night, I konked out and she decides to give me a hickey while I'm asleep. The hickey must have had a diameter of about 7 inches across my neck. Despite my best efforts to hide it, I took a lot of abuse the next morning from the sailors (officers typically don't sport hickeys). Maybe I should have just stayed over the Captain's house that night.

Sounds like a Pharisee made that turkey! Well at least everyone's taist would be accounted for. People who like thier meat well done can have the outside, and people who like rare meat will be happy.

Every single year, something goes wrong with that bird...errgh! This actually happened to me once and, well, lets just say I became a vegetarian for a day...

This can be a nightmare for many a Thanksgiving cook. A blow torch helps.

Haha, only if I'M the one cooking! I could probably burn water . . . .

Looks like it's Vegetarian Thanksgiving...num! Paul McCartney would approve.

I agree with Aurielle-I think I'd cry! All that hard work to find that the meal couldn't be served *screams*...I guess in a way, I should be glad that the older adults in my house take care of the turkey on Thanksgiving.

Oh! I would cry! Especially if all the relatives were there and I had one of those mothers-in-law who already thinks I'm a horrible cook. Dinner wouldn't be served until about 9 pm, and by that time every thing else would be congealed.

I can laugh because I don't eat turkey, but if I had been the one fixing the bird, I would just cry. Or punt it in anger.

That's why it's important to de-thaw the thing a day or two before you put it in the oven. Even this culinary expert knows that!
