New Turkey Recipe for Jo

[Pythonpappy]

Subject: My Turkey Recipe


Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a
stuffing -- imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it
was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell
when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out.

Give this a try.

8 - 15 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter
salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in
baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.

Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's a*s blows the
oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done.

And, you thought I didn't cook... :170:

Just a reminder, ... This will work just as well in the U.S. as it did for JoJo in the Canadian tradition last month ... so lets start buying turkeys ...

Oh, I still haven't heard back from JoJo just how long it took to 'clean-up' after trying this!!!

How 'bout it JoJo?

Too smart to use that recipe although my dad use to say, "You are a good cook, I just don't see why you have to use every dish and pot in the house to cook a meal.

I have made a few messes of my own. Just the other night, with my shaky hands, my spare ribs ended up-side-down on my kitchen floor. Thankfully the sauce and the roasting pan stayed on the stove. I could rinse of the ribs and throw them in the pan to heat. I also had an egg land on the ceiling and burnt a few times because I forget that I started cooking dinner (often the fault of my fibromyalgia but often because I am occupied on the computer). I once burned 3 frying pans in 6 weeks. I don't learn lessons easy. My son was always saying, don't cook and go on the computer at the same time. I had to learn to use a timer to remind myself I had something boiling. :(

I'm not sure I want to hear this, but I gotta ask about the egg ... OK, how did you manage to get an egg on the ceiling and what did you mean "and burnt a few times"??? ... :eek: :sad: :shocked:

And like your Dad, I tell my wife she's a great cook also, and ask the same question as your Dad, why does she need to use every bowl, pot and pan, and cooking utensil in the kitchen? ... Well, truth be told, I'm the kitchen cleaner-upper, and I'm here to tell you, she not only dirties up the plates, pot and pans, bowls, etc. .... she can dirty up the whole oven, stovetop, all the counters, microwave, everything ... you name it, if it's in the kitchen while she cooks, it's dirty ... oh man, I've tried to help her cook! .... and every time, I need a shower afterward ...

When I cook, bake, or prepare some dish of some sort, I clean as I go ... the mixer beaters, bowl, spoon, countertop, ... all clean before the cake or brownies are out of the oven ... (OK, I admit I have this thing about a clean kitchen, ... and I ain't sure where it came from)(my family were slobs!)


You're hilarious sometimes JoJo :218:... looking forward to your explanation ...:cool:

Love ya and God Bless,:42:
Pappy

[MajestyJo]

Oh No! You are one of those. I have been known to do that when I have run out or have another sauce or veggie. The egg landed on the ceiling because I let the pan boil dry and the egg popped and hit the ceiling and stuck.

I will put something to fry in the frying pan, forget it is there and the pan will get a little over done and I have to simmer baking soda and water in it to get the 'black' off. It is either not meant to be and I open a can or I start again if the stuff in the pan, is as black as the pan, which it generally is. Computers and cooking, or reading and cooking, or watching TV and cooking don't always go together. As Theresa tells me, "JoAnne, are you thinking again, don't you know you can't do two things at once."

[Pythonpappy]

Thanks JoJo, ... The egg thingy is hilarious ...

And I don't think I'll be visiting you anytime soon ... especially if you're going to cook dinner ... I don't care for a 'side order' of 'Fire Trucks' when I'm eating ...

Seriously, Please be careful

Love Ya and God Bless,:42:
Pappy

[MajestyJo]

Have always liked to cook, and it makes me sad not to have the energy to put the effort into making a meal. Seldom cook for others, having my friend Theresa staying with me is good for me. The only problem she doesn't feel like eating, even if I cook.

I sponsored a guy from Montreal, he was young about 28 I think while he looked for a male sponsor. He says people look at me funny, but I don't care, I want what JoAnne has. It was only after cooking for him for 3 months that I found out he was a trained French Chef. I just about died. He said, "It is okay, you think like a chef." One of the nicest compliaments I have ever received. These days, haven't done a lot of thinking one way or the other. It is bad when what you like doing becomes a chore.

I was just scrolling through the boards this morning and landed on this post. Thinking I would find an idea for the upcoming holidays, boy did I get the biggest belly-laugh.

The Turkey Popped Out of the Oven

The Turkey popped out of the oven
and rocketed in to the air;
It knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom,
Then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
There was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there had never been turkey before..
It blanketed every appliance,
it smeared every saucer and bowl;
There wasn't a way I could stop it;
that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scraped with displeasure
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
That I would never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

I love it, love it, love it .... :lol: .... :lol: .... :lol: .... :170:


Hey Kiti B, ... I was preparing to give you big kudos for being quite the poet and for such a hilarious response to the 'turkey recipe' I sent ... but I see it was written by someone else .... WOW what a prefect match for the recipe ... THANKS a bunch for this one!!!

(what would have made it better? ... is if JoJo had written it, it sounds a lot like the way she cooks, ... Ha!) ... :15: .. :218:


Oh, sorry JoJo, but after the egg experience you posted ... I can't hep-it ...:kiss:

[MajestyJo]

LOL! That was one of many, too numerous to remember let alone tell.

I sponsored a young guy for a short time until he found a male sponsor. He said, "I don't care if people look at me funny (a sponsor opposite your sexual preference), I want what she has.

He had been in my home about 3 months and I invited him to come and share my birthday dinner. He asked if there was anything he could do and I said, "The fixings are in the refrigerator, you can make the salad."

When I looked at what he did, I saw a salad with a rose made out of a tomato, he peeled the skin and curled it around in the shape of a flower and used the green part of a scallion, to make two leaves coming out from the rose. I was overwhelmed, pleased, and just bubbling all over. I said, "How did you do that? Where did you learn to do that?" He replied, "Maybe I forgot to tell you that I am a trained French Chef." I just about died of shock. I said, "You mean, you are a French Chef and I have been feeding you for the last 3 months. He said, "Don't worry Jo, you think like a chef." It took a long time to get over the horror and the delight of having had an affirmation about my cooking from someone so qualified.
