Help! Need Super Easy Turkey!
| Mon, 10-23-2006 - 10:02pm |
I'm going to be making turkey for the first time this year, and I need a fool-proof and fast way to do it. I'm going to probably be using a turkey roaster so that it can sit on the counter while other things are cooking in the oven. Anyway, a friend of mine suggested that I bag the turkey and then I won't have to baste it and it'll cook faster. I'm not doing stuffing and I don't need the turkey to be great....just not terrible. Can anyone break down for someone who has NO IDEA how to make a turkey or perhaps refer me to a good web site?

Acacia, you are AT the good website!
I have heard that marinating a turkey in brine
Good luck...it's hard to ruin Thanksgiving...its really all in our hearts anyway...
Alton Brown did a show about brining the turkey.
I've never basted, and what I read on the Butterball website the other night says "don't bother."
The last turkey that I made had been brined. It came out nice and moist, but I don't think it took less time to cook (but my memory might be very faulty since the turkey I
My turkeys are always better using the high temp. method, do the same with chicken.
I don't like basters either, I've never burned myself, but they are messy...I use a tiny ladle.
Anyhoo, I wonder how you guys make your stuffing? Traditional or fancy?
what a question!!!
I nearly got lynched, drawn and quartered, and run out of TOWN for making oyster stuffing.
Hmmm....fruit, rice and nuts...I never made a duck or a goose...Altho, when I was young...very young...I had a pretty darn serious boyfriend...a country boy, hunted, fished and could probably live off the land...and HE cooked all that stuff. Did ya ever see a trio of woodcock come out of the oven?
Anyhoo, that sounds like a good stuffing for pork too!
My mother (step) was a great cook and she put out a stuffing made with Wonder bread..College Inn Chicken Broth...celery, onions, etc. That's sort of how I do it, but I can't master the Wonder Bread thing..plus, she was cooking for a crowd!
I don't really recommend goose, it's not real good eats.
