1st turkey – I know this one looks a little funny, but it was done by my daughter when she was only 16 months old. We made our own patterns for this one. We just drew the turkey body, cut out some feathers, and that little red gobbler thing under the turkey’s chin. What is that thing called anyway?

I don’t mean to sound like an infomerical , but I was websurfing today and came across the nifty Sili Gourmet Sling. This sling slips under your turkey, fish, or other meat while you’re cooking it and then allows you to easily pick up the meat without dropping it. This would certainly come in handy during Christmas and Thanksgiving when you’re cooking the big turkey or Easter for the ham.
The Sili Sling is a silicone lifter for turkey, roasts and fish. The large surface is ideal for lifting large poultry and roasts – holds up to an 18 lb. …read more

Barbeque Turkey. Shred it and add barbeque sauce. YUM!!!
Turkey pot pie. There is a fabulously easy recipe on the back of the bisquick box. My family loves it!
Keep this in mind when you think about all the turkey to come. UUGGHH!! More turkey
Thanksgiving day turkey follies
Ok, let me tell you about my turkey horror story. This year I actually attempted to cook not 1 but 2 turkeys for my church. We try to feed the rescue squads and ER’s in the area every year. I usually just cook a couple of turkey breasts in the crock pot but didn’t think it was appropriate as most people want the whole bird. So I began…
