How hard is it to make a turkey ?

It's not hard, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because a turkey is so easy to cook. I usually make the dressing using the packaged dressing, add celery, onion, chicken broth, salt, pepper. Stuff the bird, rub the whole turkey with olive oil or butter, cover with aluminium foil, follow the cooking directions on the turkey wrapper. Remove the foil one hour before the bird is ready. If you can 't make your own gravy I think most canned gravy is icky, the best tasting is sold at Williams & Sonoma. Happy Turkey Day.

If you want a perfect juicy turkey, but you don't want it to be difficult, get some oven bags from the store. They are usually next to the zip top bags. They have cooking times and instructions based on the weight of your turkey in the package, so there is no guessing. We use them whenever we make turkey, and everyone always goes on about how our turkey is so much more moist than others they have eaten. Good luck, and by the way, unless you like the dark meat, a turkey breast would be a better size for just the two of you, and my instructions still apply.

It isn't hard to roast a turkey at all. Go to the butterball.com website for lots of tips as well as roasting instructions - stuffed or unstuffed. Finish roasting the turkey and then put it on the carving board covered with foil so it frees up your oven to finish your other side dishes. Then let your new husband carve the bird (hints for this also on butterball's site) while you dish up the other things.

Even if it's just 2 of you, use your serving dishes and set a full table for that special day.

Don't forget a nice bottle of wine!

Very hard.

But If you do still want to make it, make sure you have a meat thermometer and some good recipes.

Good luck :)
