How to Tell When Your Turkey is Done

This is from a cooking chat on the Washington Post. I thought it was hysterical.

TURKEY RECIPE

Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -- imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.

8 - 15 lb. turkey 1 cup melted butter 1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.) 1 cup uncooked popcorn Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.

Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's rear blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done.

ha! Thanks for the laugh Amanda! This year we get to use my mom's new range, as last year we

killed it after making the roast beast. Apparently some of the beef fat was spilled on the bottom when making popovers, and then they caught the oven on fire when making a second batch of popovers for the following day, the fire department came and everything! It was hilarious, but then I had killed off the bottle of champagne leftover from the day before while taking refuge on the front porch. Ah, memories.....
