How do you prep your turkey?

Coat turkey in a salt/butter/olive oil and put in a turkey fryer. (BUTTER - NOT MARGARINE) Excellent! And, it falls apart in your mouth.

This year, though, we are baking it. Same as above, except, I will sprinkle a bit of rosemary onto the turkey before baking.

I have been cooking for the past few days, This year however, we did the deep fry turkey way and it turned out great with less the time.

I am finally sitting down with a glass of wine in front of me relaxing.

Years past however.... prep the bird the night before and thaw it out. coat it with buttter and spices and cook it for a long time with stuffing in it....i learned to simplfy it this yr in certain short cuts even though i been cooking for a few days
