Pilau doesn't. He likes his poultry roasted but not too dried out.

I think they'll like it better than jerky really...Though it might turn into jerky....The directions are freaking me out...The directions don't even mention browning it...

The directions on the large breast say not to cover it..and not to steep it in any water on the bottom of the roasting pan...Not sure what to do here....I'm worried...:eyebrow:

Butterball has 55 live people with at least a degree nutrition, food science, or home economics, to handle the 12,000 calls they get on Thanksgiving Day alone, at 800-288-8372.

Well I did buy a butterball...Thnx Bruce!


I did listen to a talk radio show where they interviewed one of those butterball aficionados. Maybe I should call and ask...

Awesome video! :)

I like all the barfing...I want wretch when I get excited too.

In other news: The woman at butterball assured me that I won't have to cover my turkey with anything. Nor will I have to baste it...They have a turkey lab and have conducted tests in their kitchen....It shall be just as moist...

Did you brine it???


Aww, thanks limey.

Cicero 11-26-2009 07:21 PM

I did brine it....For 5 hours! I used salt, sugar, ground black pepper, garlic salt, and water.

I did notice that your turkey (Jinx) was in an oven bag. Are they just proud and insane at butterball or do they know what they are talking about? We shall see....

I knew where to find the information quickly because I'd put it in a comment at GFCF Lady. :)

I don't know.... I saw a commercial for the bags and thought "hey why not". I don't have a lot of turkey experience.

no one in my family will try Indian food with me. Might have to dive in all alone some day.

Take a leap. Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines. Experiment and don't forget the rice and naan.

I think I'm gonna burst.

monster 11-26-2009 08:32 PM

beest did us proud. Brit style, though (but hey, at least we did turkey...)

We had turkey trimmed with stuffing, bacon rolls, sausages, and stuffing in bacon rolls, homemade gravy, roast spuds, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mushrooms. And sara Lee strawberry cheesecake as an afterthought dessert.

Pie 11-26-2009 08:33 PM

Everything went well. There is an unholy mess in the kitchen, but that will wait till tomorrow.

Cicero 11-26-2009 09:19 PM

Butterball was right..It came out just fiiiiine.....:)
