UPSIDE-DOWN TURKEY

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams - NJ Metro Group

MY HUSBAND, BOBBY, BOUGHT THIS HUGE 34LB TURKEY AND I MUST ADMIT MY FIRST INCLINATION WAS TO REMARK IT MIGHT BE A TOUGH OLD BIRD!   WELL BOBBY ESTIMATED IT MIGHT TAKE ABOUT 8 HOURS TO COOK IN OUR CONVECTION OVEN SO HE CAREFULLY PREPARED THE MONSTER AND PUT IT IN THE OVEN AT 12:30 A.M. ON THANKSGIVING MORNING AT OUR HOME IN WEST CALDWELL .  HE EAGERLY CHECKED ON THE CROONER AT 6:30 A.M. AND EXCLAIMED "THIS THING IS OVER DONE!" AND "THERE'S NO MEAT ON IT'S BREAST" AND "HELL, IM RUNNING UP TO STOP AND SHOP TO GET A BUTTER BALL".  BLEARY-EYED AS I WAS, I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THAT DARN THING WAS UPSIDE DOWN IN THE PAN AND HERE'S THE PROOF BEFORE IT WENT INTO THE OVEN.  TURNS OUT THE IMMENSE BREAST MEAT UNDERNEATH WAS THE SIZE OF A MELON AND TOTALLY AMAZING AND THE JUCIEST AND MOST TENDER EVER SERVED.  NEXT TIME WE'LL REMEMBER TO TURN OUR BIRD UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN AND LET IT SIMMER IN IT'S OWN JUICES. 

DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING STRANGE ABOUT THOSE WINGS?  COULD IT POSSIBLY BE WRONG-SIDE UP?

I'm going to be 100% honest with you, Sandra. I'm 2 points shy of 50,000 points, so I really have nothing to say, just want to break the barrier! Thanks!!!

If you figure 20 minutes per pound it would take 11 hours?  And it cooked in 6 hours?  Wow, leaving a turkey unattended is just as trecherous as not watching your finances carefully!
