[Jeff Chandler]

Years ago when Mrs. Chandler was sick the task of cooking Thanksgiving dinner for our extended family fell upon my sturdy shoulders. In spite of never before having cooked a turkey, I did so that day and the result was excellent. Here is my method:

1. Buy a turkey with a popup.
2. Buy an oven bag.
3. Put the turkey in the oven bag.
4. Roast the turkey according to the instructions which come with the oven bag.
5. Remove the turkey when the popup pops up.

Love your ‘man’s guide to cooking a turkey’ LOL

As the eldest of seven, I had to help Mom in the kitchen from an early age. By the time I was a young bachelor on my own, there wasn’t a whole lot I didn’t know about culinary basics.

Even still, I usually wound up at Mom & Dad’s for Thanksgiving for years and years, and never attempted to pull off cooking such a major meal by myself.

The first and only time I tried it, I was in my mid thirties, and I’ve gotta say, I’m still proud to this day about how that meal came out. I was even prouder, because I didn’t call Mom a single time to ask her how to do something ;-)
