Challenging times ahead
Ok, not that challenging or high-stakes really.
I bought a turkey last night. I was thinking of getting a breast or a roasting chicken, but I may be cooking for Christmas, and having a 'dry run' (kidding, knock wood) before family Christmas is a good idea. I have never attempted a turkey before. It's high time I did. I plan to call my mom in a couple of hours for tips on duplicating her stuffing, which older daughter adores.
Everybody and their sister has turkey advice on the web, but sometimes sorting the chaff from the wheat is hard for a newbie. Seeing as I have several foodies on my f'list, I decided a good way to sort as a first approximation is to ask said f'list.
I will fall back on reading many versions of how to tackle it if nobody has the killer turkey ap. I bet How to Cook Everything and/or Alton Brown's Kitchen Users Manual on my cookbookshelf will have some help.
So, any good turkey tips or method or resource that you favor?
