Giving Thanks

For many things this year, not least for the friends I've made here.

Especially thankful today that I wasn't born a turkey. (Some things just evolve...) Slaved over this one for 6 hours, basting every 15 minutes. Don't know how Mom did it every year, but I have a new appreciation of her work.

Hope everyone has had a great day.

It is amazing how much time we put into a turkey meal versus how long it takes to enjoy it. :-)

ewwwwwwwwwwww. I've always felt a little sorry for turkeys. Seeing this just makes me feel a little sorrier. But I bet it tasted good after being so lovingly basted all day, no?

I'm slowly dying of starvation here, reading & seeing all these delicious meals.
Your Mother would be proud of this Karen !!!

Looks like perfectly done skin. It appears you were well rewarded for your work.

Slaved? Slaved? We aren't exaggerating just a tad, are we? Heh heh... Looks like all your hard work paid off. Did it taste as good as it looks?

Beautiful turkey, Karen. I know what you mean about the old recipes taking so much time and attention. You did a good job on this one.

Looks delicious. I boil mine with vetgetables for an hour at low fire the day before. Then I stuff the cold turkey and put it in the oven for some 3 hours. During this time i open every 15 minutes and spill the vegetable soup over it with a spoon in small amounts. Makes it very juicy and delicious.

You don't need to do that...slave over the turkey; you can cook it in a nylon "turkey bag" and it will come out moist and beautifully done. I can cook a 20 pound stuffed turkey in less than 4 hours and all I do is turn it around in the oven so it browns evenly...
