Well, the Turkey at least. Any tips?
Usually I just eat the food, that's much easier. I also have some American citizens attending as guests so I am feeling under pressure. It would be fine if I was just ruining a fictional holiday for UK expats.
Do you lot brine your's on Christmas Eve usually to keep the moisture in when it cooks? If so I need to do that tonight
I am going to for garlic button. lemon and a load of herbs under the skin. Just put it in the oven and can't go wrong? Right? I need my Mum!!! |  | | |  |

Where are your American guests from? If they are from the Midwest then oh boy... they may have different culinary expectations, judging from my own experiences of that region during Thanksgiving. |  |

Holiday home cooking in the Midwest is all about biscuits and casseroles.
Neither of those things are what you would expect them to be. | |

Nobody appreciates Illinois getting involved in the Midwest. Stick to the Great Lakes region where you belong.
You can take it up with Kansas and Missouri if you'd like. | |

Well the good things about TG is everyone brings all the side dishes and food so I only really have a couple of responsibilities. Turkey and booze. | | | |

Unless you've some kind of stuffing planned [insert Keno/Hoppy style joke here] I always shove a lemon/orange or 2 into the inside of the thing. Helps get a bit of steam going and stop it from drying out.
You may already be doing similar of course, just saying. | |

You could probably get away with it, so long as they aren't in a plastic bag. | |

Start it upside down. Plenty of bacon over the top once it's back the right way up to keep it moist. |  |

No need to brine it.
Put half a lemon in the body cavity. Place turkey on roasting rack, above a roasting dish with about half a pint of water in.
Apart from the last 30mins or so, cover the turkey loosely with foil.
You'll have a beautifully moist turkey, stunning stock and the roasting dish will be clean. |  |

IL is the very heart - and a very civilized heart at that - of the Midwest. Sounds like you were brought up in Mississippi. Don't choke on your grits. | |

Yeah, not many people go for the burnt plastic flavour when combined with Turkey. The two just don't compliment each other. Best avoided. | |
