Your turkey and stuffing sound great, Argh!

After cooking about 10,000 turkeys myself (LOL!), I started cooking them differently about five years ago.

You get the old oven going at 400 degrees. I make a concoction in a ramekin of rosemary, sage, basil, marjorim, thyme, parsley and salt and paper. You clean that turkey up real nice. Dry it off. Stuff it with your favorite stuffing. Oil it with olive oil. Throw on the ramekin stuff. Spread it all over. Add a melted stick of butter on top of the ramekin stuff with a brush.

Put it in the hot oven. Leave it there for 40 minutes until the skin is a nice color. Then drop the temperature to 325. Cook until done.

It comes out not only tasty, but gorgeous.

I'm cooking one this week for Thanksgiving because Cyber wants to cook one in the hot oil. Problem with hot oil is you can't stuff the bird!

Cyber's right. There's only one way to cook a turkey.

Make stuffing in a baking pan.

Once I looked up "ramekin" and figured you meant "pepper" not "paper", I started to drool. That sounds pretty yum, there, Miss Slip! I would worry about the skin getting overcooked and splitting or something if you brown it first, but you must know what you're doing.

Doesn't this just brush your ramekin stuff off?
