HELP!

Be sure to remove the giblet bags if your turkey has them. I forgot a couple of years. The results weren't pretty.

Turkeys don't come with printed instruction manuals any more.
Look again - a CD should be included.

Turkey Preparation

Goto the supermarket and buy 2 Swanson Turkey TV dinners. Cook both and eat one. Save the second for leftovers.

All through my childhood my mother would open up her Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook and use the cooking charts in the back of the book to tell her how to roast the turkey. It gave her times and temperatures for different sizes of turkey and whether or not the bird was stuffed. The turkeys always came out perfectly.

After my mother died I became the person in charge of the turkey. I have never cooked a bad turkey. By using those same cooking charts, all my turkeys have been perfect.

Cooking a turkey seems intimidating but it is not really hard.

The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook is still published. I notice it on sale just the other day in my local supermarket. It is a classic. You might want to consider investing in a copy of your own.

Cook a turkey? Since when do we cook turkeys? Just kidding. I think if you email PETA they have some great turkey recipes.

Go buy a ham. Ham recipe:

1. Buy an eight sided Farmer John canned ham
(octaham).
2. Place skillet on high heat until it is glowing red
or until smoke alarms go off.
3. Remove ham from can keeping gelatin intact.
4. Place ham in skillet on one of the eight sides
and fry until side black and gelatin has
vaporized.
5. Rotate ham 22.5 degrees. Repeat until all
facets are blackened and all gelatin is
in the ionosphere. Caution: overcooking can
harm the ozone.
6. Enjoy!!

When I opened the turkey there was no instruction book

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one "open" a turkey?

[Redcloak]

Perhaps there's a CD inside with the instructions in a .pdf file.

But seriously...

Try Googleing "turkey recipe".

Here's the simplest recipe I know of:

Turkey & Dressing Supreme

[Domestic Church]

Stuff it with popcorn and roast at 325* until it blows it's arse off!

You might try this boys for a little advice on cooking turkeys

Hot time at the Turkey Cook

I like the white meat inside a sausage McMuffin myself.

Does anybody know how to cook a turkey?

What do you mean, an African or European turkey?

150+ replies and no one mentions brining? I have to assume that this is due to the lateness of the request... the only way to prep turkey is to soak the thawed bird in a salt water solution (with whatever seasonings you desire) for at least 6 hours prior to cooking.

Once thawed it makes great sushi. Next to pork it is my favorite kind.
