So.......how do you cook a turkey?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Nov 24 '09, 18:03

I can't believe I've gone 38 years without ever cooking a turkey myself.

(Or if I have, I've blocked it out of my memory.)

- thanksgiving is thursday. but good try! and don't we make gin from juniper berries? waster! -- nm - a-maine-da Nov 24, 18:13 1
  - you can get away with 36 hours brining, or just brine it overnight if you also use injection -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 18:17
