gobble gobble day

My boss gave us turkeys for our thanksgiving. Its my first turkey and I had no idea what to do or how to make it. What made it more complicated was I worked the morning shift at my other job. Thankfully I have someone who cooks on most holidays for his family and I asked for help. The night before thanksgiving I went over and learned how to prepare the stuffing and turkey. The neck and gizzard were boiled to add to the stuffing. He sliced 4 loaves of bread to bite sized pieces and added cream of mushroom, celery, onion, minced olives, poultry seasoning. After the turkey was dried, rubbed with butter or oil, stuffed and tied, my boyfriend placed mines on a rack and in a pan. He gave me directions on how to roast it: preheat the oven and roast at 200 degrees until the marker pops up, baste and bump up the temperature until it browns. It turned out great.
