She could brine it (brining requires prep work the day before because the bird needs to soak overnight). I'd also definitely cook it breast side down.

Actually, I lived overseas in Asia for a number of years and the ovens there are typically very small (think Easy Bake Oven size!). I cooked my turkey on the grill (gas) all the time. I just put it in a turkey roaster. For some reason, those years I had the best gravy...I think it was because the drippings got darker on the grill and were more flavorful.

Here’s Southern pie for the holidays:

Southern Peanut Butter Pie

1 pie crust
3 eggs
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup salted peanuts
Chill the homemade pie crust or slightly thaw a frozen crust. Beat eggs. Add corn syrup, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in the peanuts. Pour filling into pie shell and bake for 15 minutes in preheated 400 degree oven. Then reduct heat to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting and serving

When I pick up Mrs. Springman tonight I’ll tell her, but on Thanksgiving, don’t think she wants to take a chance on something new.

However it does sound good to me, thanks!!!
