I LOVE homemade cranberry sauce, yummy! I bet your cooking is great and they are just jealous 
As we always go to a member of my family's house for Thanksgiving, I never get any left-overs  so my hubby went to the store and picked out the smallest turkey he could find (8lbs) so we are doing our own Thanksgiving on Friday, with just us and the babies Neither have ever made a turkey so we figure we'll experiment when it's just us! Any tips? |
Get some of those reynolds wrap turkey bags, they really hold the juice in so the bird doesn't get too dry.
One more thing, if you use a meat thermometer, if it says done, take it out. Once I baked a hen and the thermometer read "done" on poultry, but it only cooked for 1/2 the time the package said it should for the weight. I went by the package, and the only thing edible on that shriveled up bird was the dark meat---oh those were the days!!!!
