Here's  a chuckle for you all.

My oldest son, Robby, called and said he would bring the turkey this
thanksgiving.  While my wife appreciated it, she was none too sure how
it would turn out.  So thanksgiving morning, she prepared another
turkey and slipped it into the oven.  

About half an hour from when Robby wanted to have dinner, he arrived
with the turkey in a large box from our local Giant Food Store.  I
opebned the box--looked in--and guess what:  we had an uncooked
turkey.  In the box was the turkey, a plastic bag of 'turkey flavored
gravy,' a container of stuffing, and a can of cranberry sauce.

My son started to berate Giant--he was hungry.  We had another Turkey
cooking but it would not come out of the oven for another three hours.


I read the bookelt that came with the turkey and it gave a method for
Microwaving the turkey in less than an hour.  I asked if that was what
we should do, and since Robby was starving, he thought we should.
Melinda said go ahead.  If it was terrible, we could toss it and wait
for hers, later.

I proceeded to nuke the bird following the directions, and it turned
out very well.  An oven cooked bird might have been a little more
crispy on the outside, but all in all it was very good.  Nice flavor,
moist, etc.  I prefer white meat and could not tell it from another
turkey that had been oven cooked.   Charley, my youngest, had a leg
and found it fine.  

So if you want a nice turkey in just a little time (total elapsed time
from raw bird to table 55 minute) try microwaving your bird.

PS:  Hope all of you practiced more restraint than I did.  I ate way
too much, but candied yams are usually only made here on
thanksvgiving, so .....
