I LOVE homemade cranberry sauce, yummy! I bet your cooking is great and they are just jealous :D
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 :p 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!!!!:D |
