Don't worry - I didn't forget the kitchen bouquet. Or the garlic salt. I do remember how Mom makes it.. but I have a thermometer instead of a pop up in the turkey. How high tech. Since I'm a moron with a thermometer, I got a digital instant read one. It even has a diagram of where to put it, and a " yes / no " function that tells me, quite simply, if my turkey is done.

Yes... my turkey. I didn't see a fresh chicken that I was impressed with. In fact, I'm not impressed with the " pre basted " turkey, and I hope it doesn't ruin the kitchen bouquet skin and flavor. Or the gravy. If its even POSSIBLE to make gravy with matzo flour.
