cooking your turkey for Thanksgiving? I cheated and ordered mine from a local grocery that cooks them in the rotisseri. Always moist and yummy. How are you cooking (or not cooking..teehee) your bird??

Thanksgiving dinner has ALWAYS been my favorite meal to cook...

I will be baking my 20lb butterball .... and I think I may try some of the seasonings that I have seen them using on the food network...especially one about garlic butter medalians that are put down between the meat and the skin...then of course completely incase the whole turkey in foil...and add a cup of water inside the foil...(it actually "steams" the turkey...and makes it VERY moist....have never had anyone complain about my turkey being to dry)

Now the rest of the year...cooking can be so boring.....having to come up with something "new"....you want to share the name of that rotisseri place???

It's our local Sunflower Grocery Store. Several groceries that have rotisseri's will do meats to order. They use some type cajun seasoning on the skin that is sooo good. I have been watching food network as well. I saw the show about the garlic butter medalions. I use to bake my turkey. Our church has been buying turkeys for several years from this store.  I have bought them for the past 3 -4 years at Thanksgiving. It is sooo simple and good!

Ok I am going to have to "borrow" this cooking method. I never cook a turkey and am going to for the 1st time and I'm a little nervous. I'll be on the food network exploring options but yours sounds easy and yummy!

Thanks for sharing.

Tammy...Anita is soooooo right...make sure you de-gut the bird...and give it a "bath"
then fill it with some yummy stuff...

My son and his wife live in Hattiesburg....we will have to get together sometime...
How are you doing with your band...???

Please use my "steam" method   ... it also gives you lots of liquid for the gravy...just be very careful trying to get the turkey out of the foil...

good luck to you...hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Debbi,
I am doing great with my band. I have had 2 fills and am now at 4.5cc in my band. If I skip a snack, I have to remind myself to "chew, chew, and chew some more." I am now at 40 lbs in 3 months so I am feeling very good!

Thanks for the suggestions!
Tammy

My dad always smokes the turkey.  I don't usually do much of the cooking since we have always lived away from Arkansas (we are leaving tomorrow for AR).  But, I do enjoy getting in the kitchen with my mom and sister and spending time with them.  I'm just thankful momma is still with us and her scans have come back clear, no more cancer.

Tam,

I can tell you first hand it's more appetizing if you pull that bag of liver and gizzards out before you bake that bird! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
