    Right, slept in and haven't stuck the buzzard in the oven yet.

    How long to microwave a 20 pound turkey roughly?

    Do what Cilla on coronation street did and deep fry it. You'll want a new house after though

    Cut the tits and legs off and they should roast in no time.

    Because it takes so long to cook and that would not be suitable for every day cooking.

    I love turkey and all the trimmings of Christmas dinner - the ham, stuffing, brussel sprouts and gravy.

    Cover it in tinfoil and it'll microwave quicker.

    Turkey, in Brine overnight,

    2 hours in oven, 1 Resting,

    Nice juicy bird,

    No one has to eat sawdust

    Roish, I have followed your tips:

    I have the turkey still in the brine

    I tried getting into the oven, didn't fit, so I rested on the couch.

    Herself will have to do.

    We all avoided the sawdust.


    Now what do I do with the Turkey? - the guests are getting restless and the brine has evaporated.

    I prefer my turkey dry. If I wanted moist I'd have chicken.

    Isn't that what the gravy is for?
