How Much Does Your Turkey Weigh?

How Much Does Your Turkey Weigh?

Well, after days of saying I was not gonna do it....I did! I went ahead and purchased everything needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. Not sure when I'll cook it though, maybe this week, lol.

I ended shopping at the Super Walmart and up buying a Honey Suckle White hen turkey that weighed 11.93 pounds. It cost $.78 per pound, totally it out to $9.31. It has the pop up timer also, so I guess that was a good deal. I dunno really, cause the crowd was so huge, I didn't have time to really compare prices. Mostly what I went on was that the Honey Suckle White brand was the only ones that were not frozen. So being since this was my last minute decision, that was great!

After picking out the turkey, I then had to wander all the aisles looking for sides. It turned out to be a two hour affair. But I am sure we will enjoy it whenever I get time to cook and for him [my husband] to be home.

Since we all here at Gather are dots on the map everywhere, I thought this would be fun. Let's do a comparison of turkey sizes and prices in our locations. Just to see if there are major or minor differences.

Dressing or Stuffing?

Is it dressing or stuffing at your Thanksgiving dinner?

Around here it is home-made dressing. Being that it starts out as home-made, baked cornbread and then in comes all the extras.

What do you have at your Thanksgiving dinner?

Bag it or Not?

What kind of experience, if any, have you had with cooking turkeys in a bag?

Do they really make the skin more rubbery? Does the bag really make the turkey cook in half the time? Or does it make the turkey more tender and juicy?

I've never cooked one in a bag before. And with all the hype, I'm starting to want to cook a dinner this week. I so wasn't going to as I posted here before. But if I do, I was thinking of cooking it in a bag this time. Should I?

Well, after days of saying I was not gonna do it....I did! I went ahead and purchased everything needed to make a Thanksgiving feast. And it was a last minute decision.

I was out shopping tonight for a new outfit for dinner with my husbands' family tomorrow. When he said that turkeys were everywhere on sale. I then asked him if that meant he was hinting for me to cook one. And replied with, "O no, not unless you want to."

Then I was like, "okay, lets go get some things and I'll cook dinner." Because I could tell he really wanted a dinner at home also. He always has dinner at his mom's house around 3pm. But he does like leftover alot!

So anyways, we make our own paths through the overly crowded aisles of the food center in WalMart. I ended up buying a Honey Suckle White hen turkey that weighed 11.93 pounds. It cost $.78 per pound, totally it out to $9.31. It has the pop up timer also, so I guess that was a good deal.

Banana Cream Supreme | Yum!

Banana Cream Supreme Dessert

I previously wrote a post about a Banana Cream Supreme recipe found here. I follwed the recipe and made it today as part of our Thanksgiving dessert buffet. And it turned out great!

Only thing I seem to have messed up somehow, was that I had a lot of leftover topping, which consisted of the sour cream, pudding, and whipped topping. And I even lowered the recipe to a 8 oz size of whipped topping instead of 12 oz. So I dunno what happened. But other than that, it was a very simple, easy to follow recipe. And belive me, it is Yummy!

Here's a pic of mine:
