Thanksgiving for the Kitchen Challenged

Baked Stuffed Turkey

Ingredients:

  • 1 thawed turkey (10-12 lb)
  • 1 C melted butter, divided
  • 1 C of your favorite stuffing
  • 1 C uncooked popcorn
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Clean and rinse turkey inside and out (remove neck and gizzard, if present) and pat dry
  • Combine stuffing, popcorn, and 2 tablespoons melted butter (consistency should be crumbly and on the dry side)
  • Fill cavity of turkey with stuffing/popcorn/butter mixture
  • Place turkey on rack in roasting pan
  • Brush skin liberally with remaining melted butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Place pan in oven with neck towards back of oven
Listen for popping sounds. When the turkey’s ass blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it’s done. Order pizza (you can clean up later).
