I'm no Susie Homemaker, but my turkey always turns out great. I use a Reynold's oven cooking bag (turkey size, of course). Follow directions on the bag (don't forget to shake a tbls. of flour in it first) and then put about six 1/2 inch slits in the bag to let steam out. I always get the Honeysuckle turkeys with the red pin in the side that pops out when the turkey is done. Next year, you may want to try it. Believe me, it takes the guesswork out of it and the turkey is so moist that the leg falls off when you take it out of the bag. As for this year, all of the other suggestions I've read are good too! :-)

350 degree peanut oil -- 3 1/2 min. per pound - Fried turkey the only way to go.. 19 lbs - 65 min - it'll be perfect!!

I'm glad to hear you use a cooking bag too. I was beginning to think I was the only freeper that cooks my turkey in a bag. It's always moist and takes less time to cook too.

I'll second the bag. Just finished dinner. My wife always uses a bag. Moist and delicous. She puts a few stalks of celery in the bottom of the bag to aid removing. Stuffed 20 lb bird, 3.5 hrs at350.
