Turkey

We "bought" a turkey breast for Thanksgiving dinner. (Tara and the girls really prefer the white meat, and Adam wasn't here, so we had no use for a gigantic turkey leg...) We actually used turkey vouchers, the turkey was free. (Spend $25 - get a 50 cent voucher. Spend $50 - get a dollar voucher) We got a number of them ourselves, but Tara got some from her sister and Mom, the turkey was free.
I cooked the turkey in our pot, I didn't want to go looking for the big giant roasting pan for the little turkey. We have been watching a lot of the Food Network in the past week, a couple of people advocated cooking the turkey upside down for the first hour or so, then turning it over. This is supposed to make more of the juices stay in the turkey. When I got the thing cooked, it was very tender and very juicy. It was quite nice.
