Ive used them in the past and not been satisfied with them at all. If you rub the bird down really well with a stick of butter before you roast it and baste it about every 45 minutes it will be pretty moist Ive found. BUT, I always put the stuffing inside the turkey and this also helps with moistness.

Yep, same here. My husband wants to deep fry one this year, so I guess we'll be havin two birds. I hate grease!

I always bake my turkey upside down to get the breast meat really juicy and moist. The dark meat is moist any ways. It's unbeleiveably good breast meat this way. Other wise I don't even eat the white meat. I baste often. Baking it with a stick of butter in this inside.

I too baste often.

I us a fryer it gets the skin crispy and seals in the moisture. And supermom it is not as greasy as you think.

A turkey roast is a foul ball.

PS--Also can I spray oven cleaner in my gas oven??It don't say on the can and it just seems dangerous to spray it where theres a open flame-thanks!

Yes, you can use oven cleaner as long as it isn't a self-cleaning oven! I can't think of any interesting corn recipes.

We have a corn recipe. Will dig it out later.

thanks guys!!I been setting off smoke alarms when I use the oven from cooking bacon in it and I don't want it happening on turkey day

I would just take the batteries out of the smoke detectors and remember to put them back in when your done cooking. I always had a smoke alarm that would go off whenever I was in the shower. I always figured those things distinguised between smoke and steam.

The next day, take the leftovers, All of them, layer them in a cassarole dish with potatoes on top, pour on any left over juice, peirce the potato layer to allow the moisture in, bake for an hour at 325 degrees. Serve with gravy.

Problem is there's 5 of the suckers all wired in to each other and whatever is going on with one of them they all do

Damn safety devices!

Doesn't that mean the turkey's done?

If your still needing something easy and differant to do with corn, here something my family enjoys.
A bag of frozen corn
8 oz cream cheese
a little water
lots of butter
touch of sugar
season to taste (optional)pretty good w/o

Yes,I actually might try this but with cayenne pepper added!!!Thank you!!
