Thanksgiving Adventures

Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! We were very busy on Thursday, feeding 4 elders, one of Nolan's brothers family and some friends came over too. this was all for breakfast. Everyone had other plans for dinner though, so that was just us. But because of all the traffic in the kitchen, dinner wasn't started until 1 o'clock. Someone gave us a turkey with all the trimmings so I got to have an adventure cooking a turkey for my very first time. I asked everyone I could think of how to cook this turkey and checked online. Everyone had a different way to do it, and almost none of them were similar. Needless to say, after much consternation over losing the thermometer and having to move an oven rack from a hot oven, the turkey turned out pretty good, albeit at 8:30 pm.

Nolan asked if I needed to take a picture of my very first turkey, so I did.



This is the actual bird, and it really was quite good and moist.

Way to go Holly!!! Cooking a whole turkey is a daunting undertakaing for everyone their first time! It sounds like you had a very busy day and that it turned out quite nicely!
