I think I'll try this method and see what happens! By the way, that's exactly how my husband stuffs the bird. So yummy!<br /><br />~LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-63070302806432398452012-12-05T08:45:12.014-05:002012-12-05T08:45:12.014-05:00My grandmother always topped her stuffing with oli...My grandmother always topped her stuffing with olives too.

My family has always insisted on stuffing them with some sort of vegetables and/or fruits and involving some kind of liquid. <br /><br />I'm very envious of your weather. I don't think I'll get to hang clothes out again until the spring.

Now I am totally intimated by one. You make yours sound easy peesy! Maybe I'll take on the challenge of a 7lber. That looks delish. If you want to know WHY I haven't ever made a Turkey, I grew up a vegetarian. I did start with poultry and seafood later. When I met my husband I didn't really know how to cook meat and my first meal for him was a disaster. So even though I do better now, I don't get handle anything important as a Thanksgiving turkey ;-)Kenya G.

I will have to try that turkey method sometime. I saw a program years ago where Emeril said to slice a few apples and place them in the turkey for moist and tender results. I've done this every year since and the turkey always turns out great. I also need to try the stuffing/mashed potato recipe. It looks delicious!<br /><br />Have a great weekend,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-20708022944530445092012-11-30T19:54:05.738-05:002012-11-30T19:54:05.738-05:00Glad you enjoyed your meal.

We use the Reynold's roasting bag. We always have moist meat. Like you say, it isn't the golden bird you see in pictures, but it tastes way better and is much easier.

If the turkey is done in the morning, what time did you eat dinner and how did you keep the turkey warm and not getting dry until then?
