Hope it went well! That would be a challenge. My husband is in charge of the turkey as we do it in the turkey fryer. That frees me up to worry about everything else and is a big stress reducer! Plus everyone just LOVES the turkey and I think he enjoys all the compliments. Important to follow manufacturers instructions on those, can be dangerous if not. Peanut oil is EXPENSIVE though so plan to fry more stuff throughout the season to get more use out of it. It seriously is the best tasting turkey I’ve ever had. You should get your husband to take over the job.

If you need more free giving ideas, did you see the feed it forward program is back from restaurant.com? That might be good? http://frugalplayground.com/?p=956

Ha! I still can’t bring myself to eat red meat or pork. But it was so much easier to be a vegetarian in California.

Last year I made my very first turkey. I followed the pioneer woman’s brining recipe and turkey cooking technique and it looked and tasted absolutely fabulous. So this year, I’m doing it again.

Thanks for the link! You won’t be sorry brining that bird! It will be worth it!

LOL> I don’t eat meat , but I suppose moving to Texas might do it for me, too. Good luck with the turkey and Happy Thanksgiving!

I have made one turkey in my lifetime, several years ago. I remember calling my grandmother and asking her how to make one. She told me to use an oven bag because it would make the best turkeys. Have fun and enjoy your day. .-= Blakely´s last blog ..Ornaments =-.

The bag saved my very first attempt at a turkey. It was a HUGE turkey and could have ended up very dry but the bag , the bag, the bag and good seasoning rub
Hope it goes great and you will have lots to blog about!

I agree with the oven bag…I’ve made a turkey twice before with the oven bag…and it’s really easy (and less mess afterwards). You can do it!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

You’ll do fine. Its not near as intimidating as it may seem. Put your turkey in the oven the night before at 225 degrees, covered with foil and when you wake up the next morning, you will have a moist delicious turkey. Low and slow makes any meat tender and juicy!
