I can't believe it! I've made a turkey!! And we ate it and it was juicy and tasty and delicious.
Here's the finished bird (prior to eating, of course):Now the wings got a bit crispy there. Not sure why that happened, as I covered it loosely with tin foil pretty early on.
This beauty took a full 5 1/2 hours to cook at 350. I don't think it should have taken that long, so I think I better have my oven temp checked for accuracy. But it did finally hit 365 in the middle stuffing there, much to my relief.
So what have I learned?
I learned cooking a turkey makes your house smell yummy. Which makes me feel warm fuzzies and all homey.
I learned that doing something hard you've never done before is usually easier than you think it will be. Which makes me feel confident and adventurous.
I learned that at almost 30, I'm still calling my mom (and dad) when I need help. Which makes me feel safe and well loved.
I learned naming a turkey Tom can be confusing for others. And well, that just makes me giggle.
Thank you for following along this epic-to-me story. I hope you enjoyed it! What will you try for the first time now??
