I got a turkey running all OVER my kitchen AND my attendant left the roaster in the cabinet way HIGH over my head AND I'm supposed to seat 122 people tomorrow at 11 AM...
Oh, by the way, the only reason the Duck tasted greasy was because whoever cooked it didn't know how to do it right. Ducks, like goose, have to have a high fat content to keep warm in cold water and for the waterproofing. A good cook knows how to get most of the fat out before cooking the thing...

I don't have to cook one this year, so really, no advice is needed! Just wanted to pop in and say Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll!! We're headed out to PA to visit the folks in just a short bit. We started to head out last night, but got such a late start, and then the snow really started to pick up and we weren't in the truck.. so we turned around. We were only 45 minutes from home.. so it sure beat guessing how much more we'd hit over the next likely 4 hours..lol. We're gonna get the truck loaded up & take it instead.

Well, I guess I don't have to worry about this question, since you posted it last night...and you've obviously handled the situation or pulled all your hair out by now.

That would have been ME!

That's just wrong! But, I will PM you something that is also wrong, but pretty entertaining!

Oh, yes...if the turkey is under 30 lbs. an hour is fine. Make sure you turn it over after 30 minutes.

Seriously, it is a good thing I am not having company today... I DO have a 16 lb turkey in the fridge that I'm not strong enough to lift. And the roaster is in the cabinet way high, high up.
So... I will wait til tomorrow when someone comes and ask for a helping hand.
Right now it is off to make a whoppingly good pot of coffee to wake me up the rest of the way.
We are having big snow today...

Yes, afgrey, it truly is called a "WATTLE"...
spelled with T's it means the turkey neck thing; spelled with D's it is the crazy walk thing.

Although this thread is dedicated to turkey questions, can I ask a non-turkey question?
Does anyone know if you can add ricotta cheese to an omelette?
I've got just a dab of the stuff left over from another recipe and I'm not sure what to do with such a small amount, but I'm thinking breakfast?

Well...I have a non-turkey question... I've had my ham in the oven for about 45 minutes...and I started smelling plastic burning... ...I forgot to take the plastic off of it before I started cooking it.
Reckon I can cut it off now and the ham won't taste like melted plastic? Or should I get out the back-up ham?
