Turkey and other holiday meal "problems"

[RA1]

I was just reading an article about how to handle various holiday meal problems. I found it amusing but then there are a lot of "cooks" who are inexperienced. Deep frying a turkey is not difficult but it does require some diligence such as cooking it out of doors and not putting in anything other than a completely thawed turkey. Otherwise, very delicious and easy to prepare and not "full of fat" as some think. Usually a smaller turkey is better, such as a 10 pound one.

I think we can all handle holiday meal problems with common sense which is not always common.

Being friendly and offering plenty of wine is always a good idea.

Best regards,

The most overlooked step in frying a turkey -- having the fire department on speed dial.

The Today Show had a recipe for a Turducken. A duck inside a turkey with stuffing all around it. That can't be easy to cook and must take forever.

The 1st four letters of that word almost turned me off turkey forever.....

I remember reading about a traditional Bedouin wedding dish that one-ups the turducken - a camel stuffed with a sheep which is also stuffed with smaller animals. There seems to be some question as to whether such a dish actually exists, however.
