I tend to blog more for the purpose of journal keeping events and things CJ and I do as a family and with our families. But today I would like to blog for the purpose of gloating! I told CJ I would make him a turkey for Sunday dinner, and so I did! Now here is the part where I brag.... I have never even looked at a turkey thinking that I may know how to cook one. But it's so easy!! I couldn't believe it! It wasn't dry or anything. Just followed the directions on the packaging. Stuck it in the oven, went to church, instant dinner! Probably the best turkey I have ever eaten in my entire life! Moist and flavorful! I must say I am very proud of myself because I am so far from Suzy Homemaker and Betty Crocker!
So thank you for allowing me to share my greatest accomplishment with you! It probably won't ever happen again because I will need to be humbled. I'll more than likely be cursed with dry turkey the rest of my life, but I am just so excited! If you need a turkey... just call on me! Hopefully the curse won't set in too quick!
**CJ says that it was the best turkey he has ever had too, and no offense Mom!

I remember making my first Turkey for Thanksgiving and I was so scared it wouldn't turn out right. But it was really easy and turned out fine. Your turkey looks awesome.
Yay! I am amazed! I have never cooked a turkey either. That is a grown-up job! (So I guess that makes me a kid..if only I still had my youthful beauty to go along with it!) I had to ask Josh how you make ham. I can cook. But stuff like that throws me for a loop! Good Job!! I'd brag about it too!
No offense taken; however a small taste would be nice!
The Beutler's are coming to Utah!!!!

I love it Jen. We cook turkeys alot these days. Its so much cheaper than lunch meat. And tastier too. But, I do remember being pleasantly surprised as well the first time I did one. Way to go!
I am really impressed. Also impressed if you ate the whole thing. ;)
I do the smaller only breast meat turkey roasts when it is just the two (+ two tiny mouths) of us. But it sure doesn't look as gorgeous as yours did!
i hear there is a bbw restaurant looking for a cook...you should check it out!!!
I still haven't braved cooking one. Way to go!!! It looks awesome.
You're so cute. Your turkey looks delish!! Send it our way. =) Was your Christmas good? Merry Christmas!!
