We will be starting to fix our Thanksgiving Dinner today. I am going to make a large batch of homemade noodles this morning and let them dry during the day on the kitchen table. I think Jill is going to make the deserts either this afternoon or this evening. She is making a large bowl of banana pudding and Sex in the Pan. We decided to go for untraditional deserts this year. I love pumpkin pie but just like everybody else wasn't really in the mood for it for some reason. Tomorrow morning we will get up very very early and get our Turkey in the oven. We learned to cook turkey when we were in Tennessee living and have made it like this ever sense. We take the turkey and cover it all over with mayonnaise then we put it in a paper grocery store bag and put it in the oven. We set the temperature per the instructions on the turkey package and for the time listed. You never open the paper bag to check on the turkey and you never have to baste it. When the time is up you take the turkey out of the oven and remove the bag and you have the most beautiful and moist turkey you have ever eaten. The bag soaks up just the grease from the broth and you are left with very rich broth in the bottom of the pan. They call this in Tennessee cooking a turkey in a poke. I guarantee that if you ever cook a turkey this way you will never go back to any other method. It is to die for.
