3rd time is a charm ! TURKEY time.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
There is alot that Im thankful for. Especially my family and health.

I attempted the Turkey again for the 3rd time.
It usually always stresses me out. I keep checking and checking and basting and opening the oven (bad bad bad).

I think I got it now.


  • Butterball Stuffed frozen Turkey
  • melt 1/2- 1 cup salted butter or non salted butter
  • brush whole turkey with butter
  • Oven at 325 until stuffing is 72C and leg is 82C
  • cover stuffing and neck area with foil from the start.
  • cover after 5 hours with foil to even out cooking.
This 3rd time it was goooooood. Not too dry, not raw haha. Just right!
And I was less stressed about it this time. Opened the oven less and didnt have to baste it much. Just woke up 6 am (it was for Thanksgiving lunch) did the prep and popped it in the oven and went back to sleep until 930am.

I wonder what it is about 3rd times. And 3rd times being a "charm". Wonder where that came from.
Does that mean then the 4th time and 5th time I make a turkey it is going to suck? Does it mean that I will never cook a turkey ever after #3?
Riddiculous!
Lets hope it justs gets better and better after this.

"honey, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"meh..... nothing big tonight, Im too tired to make anything..... just a FREAKIN Turkey Dinner!"
BAAHM! just like that.

Ima be a great cook.

Some guy is totally missing out!

Yea dude, that means you! Cause after the 3rd time it just gets better and better!

AND cause apparently I can cook goooood!

(yes, its true, one great turkey and I'm Julia Child, no Martha Stewart, no....Both! All in one and in a pretty package too! bahahaha!) - work with me here, Im trying to get over him.
