A complete success…
My first turkey dinner that is. The turkey wasn’t undercooked, all of the side dishes (at least the ones I made) turned out good, and all the guests had a good time. However, I am never having 12 guests and a 21.5 lb turkey in the same apartment again. IF I ever cook Thanksgiving dinner again, it has to be in a real kitchen, where I have some space to move around and swap dishes from place to place.
The turkey, surprisingly, ended up perfect. I had planned for a 5.5 hour cook time, but the Reynolds bag chopped the time down by an hour. Otter ended up calling everyone and telling them to come over sooner, but it all turned out good in the end. The bird was perfectly moist, and it pulled off the bones easily. Once again, it just goes to show that as long as you follow directions, most stuff will turn out ok.
