This year is my first year ever hosting Thanksgiving at my house. It will be my first year cooking a turkey too. I hope it turns out ok. haha. Anyway i am excited and a little nervous cause i am making several things I have never made before like the Turkey, stuffing (stove top), and apple pie and green bean casserole. Anyone else making something new this year or have turkey cooking advice?
My advice on the turkey is to make sure he is fully thawed (it will take days) and to rub his body with herbs and olive oil and stuff his cavity with apples, onions and garlic. 20 minutes a pound in the oven and you will have a yummy and moist turkey!
From recent experience: use tongs to get the neck and other grossness out of the turkey. There is no need to reach your arm up the booty of a dead turkey when they make tongs for such an occasion. I’m just sayin…
I’m sure everything will turn out great! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, tell Paul too. Hope to talk to you soon.
