Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | do the turkey in the oven and dressing in the crock pot. i have posted the dressing recipe on my fb page.
Once the turkey is thawed i rinse it in warm water.... slather it with butter.... remove the bag in the but and put in, two oranges quarted, sage salt a stick of butter and poultry seasoning. on the outside i use poultry seasoning and the butter that has been slathered it usually sticks to. wrap in the baking bag and add a meat thermomator in the breast but not up to the bone. when the turkey has reached the optimum temp its done. i would then put in the ham. couple sides on the stove, dressing in the crockpot and salad in the fridge. wha lah you are good for Thanksgiving. |

lookout hill - 2013-11-26 5:46 PM missroselee - 2013-11-26 3:43 PM NJJ - 2013-11-26 5:42 PM Buy one of the baking bags for the turkey...you can't go wrong with it and it will have the times to cook, etc....... Seriously? They make baking bags for turkeys?
For sweet potatoes I get 5-6 potatoes, boil, peel, slice spread out in 9 x 13 baking pan, cut up a stick up butter & spread out throughout the pan, drizzle a lot of brown sugar over the top, bake for about 30 mins on 350 & then last 3-5 add marshmallows on top. It is yummy gooey goodness.
I totally agree with this. It's one of our family favorites. I also add a heavy cream and cinnamon to mine. Also, do yourself a favor and just buy some canned yams. (unless you already bought fresh ones) It takes the step of peeling and boiling out and they're just as good.
edited to add: We cover the entire casserole dish with marshmallows and put it back in the oven until golden brown. Can you tell we have a sweet tooth?!

I tried to broil my marshmallows to make them crunchy once & those little buggers caught fire. Luckily I was able to just peel them off & start over. Keep a close eye on it after you apply marshmallows. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Ok so I am getting one of those bag things today, hopefully....
I think it's a 10 or a 12 pound turkey, and yes it's the smallest one I could find that wasn't frozen. I hate frozen. That's why after we are done we are going to take leftovers to ppl that need some kind thoughts.
When should I put it in the oven if I want to eat around 4 or 5pm? |

At 325 degrees that turkey will take at least 3 hours if not 4. But I have never cooked a turkey in the bag. |

Thanks! I may end up letting mother in law take over on the turkey. |

it goes faster in the bag. I bet you can find the info online about the bag... I think I just frequently checked the temp after a certain amount of time. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | My dad does the best turkey ever. His secret? brown paper bag. No joke. The turkey doesn't get dry and it is delicious. He stuffs the turkey too. I know he uses the dry crumb thigns you get in a bag wtih a bunch of other crap I don't know (I would have to ask) and he stuffs that baby full. No one has ever been able to top my dad's turkey and stuffing. No joke. And my favorite food is turkey and stuffing so that is saying something.
Putting the turkey in a brown paper bag is super easy and cheap!!! |

Location: Finally horseback again.... | I actually use an Tony's( however you spell the last name) spice and butter injectable marinade in turkey and chickens. They are super juicy and have a great flavor. You inject with a needle and bid syringe, then bag in bake.
Look up sweet potato souffle on allrecipe.com, easy easy and SOOO good.
It is topped with walnuts and cocnut with flour and brown sugar. tastes like a desert instead of a side dish.
As far as a raspberry glaze, very easy. If you put berries in a saucepan with small amount of water, heat till they start coming apart. Strain and put juice back in pan, add granulated sugar and corn starch simmer till thick. I make this for my cheesecakes and it is wonderful. Usually takes about 1/2 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch.

| We have a large electric smoker; best investment ever!!! The turkey is never dry and very good, the ham is to die for! It's so easy to cook with as you just put the meat on there and pretty much forget about it other than checking to make sure it still has fluids in the bottom. |

Location: Alberta, Canada | I love the stuffing recipe below, and now seem to "personalize it" with whatever suits me that day. The sausage and the apple are very complimentary flavors....
Cubed Bread (white/Brown/Whole grain - whatever they have.....)
1/2 pound butter
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2-2 1/2 cups turkey or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5-8 slices breakfast sausage
1 Apple (Cut up into cubes)
Melt the butter, lightly cook the celery and onion. In a separate pan, cook the breakfast sausage and cut up into small pieces. Mix everything together in a big bowl, slowly adding the broth until it is slightly moist. Bake or put in the slow cooker. (I stuff my turkey too)
