November 21, 2011 To be honest, I have never cooked a full turkey. I've cooked a turducken, ONCE, which is a chicken stuffed in a duck, stuffed in a turkey. It's oven-baked for hours on a low temperature. It took forever and STILL wasn't done, we ended up microwaving it!!!!

Watching the grocery store shopping list grow and watching her "time table" so she knew what had to be done in what order, so it would all be done at the same time.
