The Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey

You have to take the legs and hold them open Careful not to separate the legs too wide Make sure there’s nothing blocking the entrance Then get your stuffing and stick it inside. Make sure the oven has been warmed up a while You want to make sure this is done just oh so right Take the legs again and tie them together. Yeah, that’s it, don’t worry, it can’t be too tight. You want to butter the skin to retain the moisture Never do you want it to burn and just dry Carefully season with all you have to offer Stick it…in the oven and let out a sigh. Now, the time that it takes is oh so important You never want to rush and leave it not yet done Carefully watch and occasionally baste it Savor the juices! Just let them run! Be ever so careful when it has finally finished You’ll want to take it out and let it sit for a spell Cover it up though, with a nice wet warm towel Take it slow, you’ll eat and know it was done so well!

Tasty , Michael , very tasty .... My Grandad tried something similar , but he used Whiskey stuffing , basted it in Guinness , added Poiteen, then poured Baileys over the cooking bird .... The turkey tasted crap , but the gravy...WOW !!!! ... Enjoy your Thanksgiving , my poetic friend ......

UUUMMMMmm can't wait for that sneaky little taste in the kitchen, before the rest of the crowd digs in!...and hey! I'm impressed!!!....Not sure my husband would know all that! He'd probably unwrap it, stick in in a pan, throw it in the oven, and go watch football!! Good for you, Michael!! :) Carrie
