Let me first start out by saying that Pat and I have never cooked a turkey before. So, with that said, how in the world was I ever supposed to know that there was a bag of gizzards in the stomach of the turkey that needed to me taken out before it was cooked? And how was I ever supposed to know that if you don't take the bag out then the turkey takes 3 times as long to cook? I'm not sure why that is, but I know that a measly 10 pound turkey should not be in the oven for 6 1/2 hours!!
Sooo, At 9:30pm after the kids had gone to bed and our 1 dinner guest had left, Nana, Pat and I finally sat down for our very pathetic Thanksgiving dinner. Sigh.
On a positive note though, the stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and other Thanksgiving fixings turned out great.
Next year I'm buying precooked.

Hahahahahaha! That's freaking hilarious! But in your defense, there are a lot of people that don't know about the sack o' gizzards. And don't forget the big one that looks like a penis. Gross. Next time really do buy pre cooked. They are good, and you don't even have to touch it!
Best turkey I ever served was precooked, frozen, and all I had to do was reheat. There's always next year! ;)
And the rest of the meal was de-lish! You have your mother's cooking abilities!
Hugs,
Nana
