OT Turkey Alert!
It is time to move your frozen turkey from the freezer to the refrigerator.
If you 'are' a turkey, this is a good time to disappear. It takes a long time for a Big Bird to thaw. The quick way of putting the frozen bird in a sink of cold water and constantly changing the water is a pain. Start early if you can and simply move the turkey to the refrigerator to slowly thaw. I'm trying a new turkey production this year. Carving a turkey looks good in old movies but there are not any carving artists in our family. I've bought boned turkey breasts and hope to get away with an easier time of it. Sounds good, don't you think? Polly |

OT Turkey Alert!
But Mz. Polly!! How can there be a fight over who gets the drumsticks if'n
there ain't no drumsticks? BG Does sound a whole lot easier though! My mamma used to cook that bird until it fell off the bone, and yet it was always moist and yummy and the gravy was heavenly, just heavenly!!! Dreamweaver, who loves the dark meat!!!!

Yeah, that's kind of sad about no drumsticks - and no wishbone. I remember
the time my sister tried the method where you put the bird in a paper bag and set it to cook very slowly overnight. They were blasted out of bed by the smoke alarms. And the time she put her turkey in a sink full of cold water to thaw - forgetting that their lab could easily remove anything at counter height that was appealing. He did. Labradors are sweet and loyal dogs but they are tall. You'd think she would have noticed. Polly "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... But Mz. Polly!!

I seem to remember something about turkey containing something that makes
people sleepy. After 22 pounds of turkey, that should have been some lovely long nap. Polly "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... LOL!!!

She was a sight to behold! I thought her belly would burst it was so full,

For those of us who love their dogs- turkey will give dogs terrible
diarrhea. Be careful when sharing scraps and leftovers with the furry children in your family! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... LOL!!!

My family has cooked the turkey in brown paper grocery bags since my Granny's time and she came to this country in the late 1890's! The bags don't burn unless they are exposed to flame -- heat won't make them burn. The turkey I make for DH's work potluck is slow cooked overnight because the bird has to be ready by about 11:00AM and I'm certainly not getting up at 0dark:30 to put a bird in the oven!!

Polly When I worked in a grocery store meat dept. there was a phone call asking about how to cook a turkey so the skin wasn't so tough. She had taken the turkey out of the mesh bag, washed it and cooked it. I was juicy, but the skin was tough as shoe leather so they had to cut that off. Turned out she had never removed the plastic bag it was packed in before cooking, so the skin she was asking about was actually the plastic bag.
