LOL! She’s great!

One of our most successful turkeys was the result of a big mistake. My husband was using a recipe where you put it into an extremely hot oven initially, for about 30 minutes, and then place the foil ‘breastplate’ on and turn it down to 325-350.

Well, he forgot about it, and it was in the 450 degree oven for a LOOOOONG time, until the thermometer went off saying that it was done.

That turkey turned out great.

Our best turkey cooking discovery was in the summer one year. Something happened that resulted in an extended power outage. I had the turkey to cook up the next day and it could not wait. So we put it on the Weber instead, in a roasting pan.

I covered it with foil and took it off for the last 1/2 hour to brown. It was phenomenal. Since then we’ve never done a turkey in the oven.
