Sat. night was 1st night I ever made my own turkey. I'm 71. It was the most delicious turkey I've ever eaten. Serendipity cooking--when you don't have the stuff the recipe calls for, you make it up. Put it in the oven at 11 pm, slow cooked at 250F, woke up to baste every 2 hrs. W/o alarm. Meat so juicy & light, no knife needed to carve. Breakfast in the morning: turkey I could tear apart w/only my bottom teeth & my tongue [dentures don't fit right!].

Gravy & dressing also de-LISH.

That's when I felt like cooking, so that's when I did it! Damn. Only a wee bit left.......
