Turkey Thursday

The first time I did a family dinner and cooked at our house, I forgot to take the gibblet bag out of the turkey cavity. When we were starting out own family traditions after our kids were born I invited family down and put the turkey in the oven on a low setting like 250* and it cooked all night, the house smelled wonderful when we got up the next morning. There was no carving this turkey it just fell apart and we pulled the bones out and scooped the meat on a platter, our parent brought the side dishes.

We like turkey so much one winter we had five in the freezer. Hubby and I both got one at work, we got a free one with the groceries, and our son got one from work too. That turkey lasted until the 4th of July! The surprising thing is that we never did get sick of it. Another year my sis brought one from a hunt in St. Maries, Idaho she killed. It was my first taste of wild turkey!

This year I did the sides and our son cooked the turkey and brought it over he lives near by. Our daughter and family came too they also live in town. The great thing is that no one had to drive more than three miles. All my friends are jelous because I can see the grand kids when ever I want. Dinner was a success this year and I'm adding fish next year saw on the history channel that they had Lobster in the first Turkey day feast so we can have prawns or some thing like that.
