Well, I took _all_ of your advice. As a matter of fact, I even melted some butter, garlic (a la **Kinsey** ’s advice) and parsley, basted/slathered that bird with this sauce, and let it go for three hours on 325\*. I ended up forgoing the grill and going the oven route. You people are _soooooo_ right. I should listen to you more. . . It’s a little pink in the middle but A) It’ll make some great soup tomorrow, and B) It happily fed 5 guys - five _big_ guys. The rugby/hockey type of guys. I thank you all. Thanksgiving was a success. In part because of the beer, and in part because of the turkey. Tripler I’m still eating it. Even at this late an hour. ---

Next time, though, skip the parsley and liberally sprinkle on some **rosemary**. You won’t be sorry. ---

Oh, I’m SO glad you didn’t screw up in front of your peer group and have to go driving around town looking for a fast food joint that was open. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-its-turkey-week-help-me-cook-a-turkey/138655.md?page=1)
