genoandkiddo Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 We usually put it in around 7 or 8 am but since DH is will be at kmart we will have to wait until 9 this year. I don't think I can wait another hour before we eat.
alimfp Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 MIL is doing the turkey. She said dinner is at 4pm, so we'll see.. I remember my Mom getting up at 6am, shoving the turkey in the oven and going back to bed. LOL.
crystalp Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Mine found his way into the oven at 7:15. LOL!
dmmiller Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Not fixing turkey this year.. Big boring ole holiday with just me and the kids. No need to go all out with all that food.

Christy Garner Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Not eating until 5 -My mom was in charge of the turkey so I am not sure what time she put it on.
PerkynPunctual Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 This is another reason I love deep fried turkey! My hubby worries about the timing, and it only takes about 45 minutes to cook!
MzSasy Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 This is another reason I love deep fried turkey! My hubby worries about the timing, and it only takes about 45 minutes to cook!Deep fried turkeys taste great but there is still nothing like a juicy traditional oven turkey! We aren't eating until 5-6pm so I put my turkey in around 1pm but its only about 12.5 lbs. So it only takes about 4-4.5hrs to cook. I do mine later because I have found that if you baste the turkey every half hour in the beginning and every 15min within the last hr the turkey comes out nice and moist! No complaints yet. :) My Aunt is also making a turkey but last year she made one, I think her first one and put it in upside down on the "popper" so she didn't know if it was done or not! When I got there she thought it was done and shut it off and most people had to wait another hr or two before it was actually done!
bugsette Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 We had a 8 pound turkey breast only takes about 3-4 hours so I put it in around 9:30.
PerkynPunctual Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Deep fried turkeys taste great but there is still nothing like a juicy traditional oven turkey!That we will have to agree to disagree about! In all my years, with all the varieties, excellent cooks (myself included ), marinades, brines and basting techniques, I've never tasted a memorable oven roasted turkey. They've been good, but nothing to look forward to.
