Good Morning and HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Dennis the turkeySay good morning to Dennis. That's what we named the turkey last night.

I'm not the most accomplished person in the kitchen so this day is always a culinary adventure. My dear Mother is overseas and totally oblivious to this holiday and unobtainable by phone. What's a "Challenged" girl to do.

I am at the part where I have cleaned out all the nasty internal parts (top and bottom), salted the cavity, stuck an onion in and now looking at my new friend Dennis.

Do I use the plastic thingy to seal him up? Won't it melt in the oven?

Do I put anything on the Turkey?

Do I turn the Turkey upside down to start the cooking? I think I remember my Mother doing that?

Thanks in advance for saving my dinner!

Is the plastic thingy a cooking bag? It Does speed up the cooking time. I started used them a few years ago, now a must.

The plastic thingy is the thing that is holding the legs together.

Hi Ellie - I specialize in "eating" on Thanksgiving and have no clue as to how to cook that bird.  I'm sure you'll get it done right and everyone will be happy.  Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes to you and yours.

Ellie, driving to my mom's house in Owings Mills, I was listening to the special edition of Splendid Table on NPR.  Nora Ephron was one of the guests, and they talked about cooking at very high heat for a shorter time.  By the time I reached my mother's house, I was totally starving!

Roasting the turkey with water or broth in the bottom of the pan and a foil tent on top will steam it nicely and keep the meat moist. I remove the foil tent for the last 30 minutes to brown it on top. I am sure Dennis turned out great!
