The last one, where she melted the plastic bag onto the turkey? My mother-in-law. She cooks like that.

If you want to have some real fun, drop a frozen turkey in one of those turkey propane-fired deep fryers from about a foot in the air.

My sister did the "You mean you have to remove the gibblets
from the turkey FIRST?". Yep, baked them inside still in
the wrapper.
I remember getting to POSE with a turkey leg on thanksgiving
1967 at a mess hall in Vietnam, it was for the home town
papers, then it was on to the Turkey LOAF.

LOLOLOL!
I think I saw www.foodtv.com's Tyler Florence do that last year, in a Thanksgiving segment. He's due to be released from the burn unit, any day now.

OK - can you refreeze turkey once it is thawed? after it is cooked? I've been assuming yes for years, but would like some reassurance.

I know a person..hmmm-hmmm...who purchased a brand new $500 microwave in 1985. It was a nice big one which had nice bells and whistles. Having read that--if your glue lid gets stuck to the bottle, you can loosen up the glue by putting it in the microwave for a few seconds--"this person" decided to try it. She didn't, however, do it to Elmer's Glue. She did it to SUPERGLUE.
It exploded--cianide gas everywhere. Destroyed the new microwave, but no one died.
She was much younger back then.

The first time I tried to make mashed potatoes, I didn't know you had to cut the potatoes in pieces. Whole potatoes take a long time to boil. I'm a much better cook now.

Open a pressure cooker before the little bobbing-thingie goes down.
:)
THEN clean the ceiling.

OMG, My husband did just that while we were camping, scalding beef stew flew out 360 degrees.

They didn't let you eat the turkey leg? Was it a real turkey?

It is tough to open a pressured up cooker, that should be a clue not to do it.

I used to help my mother prepare the turkey each year. So, when she could no longer take care of it herself, I was ready to take over. It has been years since I have cooked a turkey but of the dozens I have cooked over the years all have been perfect. I don't understand why everyone thinks cooking a turkey is hard.
To: marmar
Was it a real turkey? It was probably the same one W took to Baghdad last year...

Someone I know bones the turkey before stuffing and cooking. Then it comes to the table looking like a regular turkey and the hostess starts cutting slices right through the whole bird, with each one having stuffing in the middle. One year she tried it while pregnant and collapsed.
To: LouAvul
I don't understand why so many people have trouble cooking a turkey. It's one of the easiest things in the world. Just brush it with olive oil, cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes a pound, removing the tin foil an hour before it is to be done.
What's so complicated about that?

If you close up the neck hole and drop it in with the body-cavity opening down, it will launch itself several feet in the air.
