fast & easy turkey
(1 RATING)
My southern cousin gave me this super-easy way to cook turkey 35 years ago. It isn't pretty to look at since the meat falls off the bones, but it is very moist and delicious which is what counts! My husband is the official carver of turkey so when I cook turkey this way, he's got a day off!
