Just in case she ever does read this,(happy wife, happy life) let me say she can cook if the recipe calls for opening a box and just adding what she is told. Lol. She can't just whip together stuff or cook without reading a recipe.

This is how I do it, you'll need a rack so the bird isn't stewing in it's own juices. Also, I actually set the oven at 500, then cook the bird breast side down. After an hour and a half or so(this is with a 15 lb), I'll stuff the bird, flip it over and remove the foil to finish browning. Then I insert the thermometer. Make sure you have at least 5 cans of chicken stock and check the oven fairly regularly to replenish broth when needed. This isn't something you walk away from for an hour, or you'll burn the stock and set off smoke alarms...lol

Edit: I also add Thyme, Sage, Black Pepper, and Parsley to olive oil to rub the bird.

If you haven't met a woman who is a better money maker than your general man I feel for you, brother. I feel for you.

I've had a few dry one. I think it's what is used to inject,the way it was injected or didn't sit long enough before cooking. over the years we have tried some wierd stuff. my fav is the garlic butter. least fav was the Italian dressing it called for newmans own Italian dressing. gag.

If you want to try some delicious seasoning to spice up your Thanksgiving whatever, buy some Tony Chachere seasoning! Its the best!! Its cajun seasoning but I've yet to meet anyone that didn't fall in love and sprinkle that love on everything!

You really should be able to. Now I will say that since it is a Cajun seasoning based in NOLA its harder to find in certain areas outside of the south. But where I live, which is way up in Washington State, I was able to find it no problem. That might be your only issue but its worth a try! I promise! I put Tonys on EVERYTHING.

So? Eat something. Is your kitchen bare?

It's almost 2 pm and all I've eaten is a piece of toast today. I'm kind of hungry too.

I will take your word for it and try it if I am able to. I hope I can find a ride to the Dollar General before Thanksgiving, and I also hope I have enough money. Thank you again.

Let me know if you find it or not. I would seriously mail you some if you can't find it. Only because it will change your life AND its a bit of southern hospitality for your ass!! ;)
