Our first turkey

Brian and I have never cooked a turkey so we thought it would be fun to cook one. Well, we did...a big one. It was a delicious 16 lb turkey. We cooked that big bird on Sunday. You would think we would never finish that much turkey but it's Thursday and the turkey is gone.

So I planned on having turkey on night, turkey pot pie another night, and turkey and dumplings another night. We only got to the turkey alone because Brian loves turkey and I made turkey salad, which I love. I will admit, I probably didn't carve it correctly. Baboo, you probably could have gotten more meat from the bird. You should probably teach me how to make dressing AND how to carve a turkey.

That is impressive! Our first turkey was heavily supervised and guided by my wonderful MIL. I love the bird too, but yeah, they are a bit large to be making one more often ...

That is very impressive! We're attempting our first turkey next week. (Well actually Patrick will be in charge). Turkeys intimidate me. :)
