It's really difficult to re-heat a turkey that's whole.  You might wind up with a really dry turkey.  I'd slice it up first, put the slices in a pan with a teeny bit of water, cover the pan with aluminum foil, then heat it.  It'll heat more evenly that way.\n\nStart with about 20 min at 350, then add time as you feel it's needed.

It was Thanksgiving Eve and the snow had started in the early evening, but we were snug and cozy in front of the roaring fireplace, when all of a sudden there was a thud on the roof.  Pa went out to check and came back in with a dead turkey.  I said, "Oh, Pa, not Nellie."  and started to cry, cause that was the turkey I had raised from an egg.  \nPa said "honey, I didn't kill her, something else did, wait, what was that at the window?"\nOnce more Pa went out with his shotgun to investigate and we heard a shot, Pa came back in and said "Count your blessing, Halfpint, that was a cougar and he was heading out to get more of the turkeys and livestock.  At least you were in the house, Halfpint, or he may have tried to have you for dinner, too."

Microwaved a whole raw egg for about ten minutes, opened the door to inspect it's progreess and had it explode all over my face.\n\n This may also qualify as the stupidest thing that's ever happened to me.

I cook Turkey in an Oven Bag! It's Very Easy! It takes less time, comes out moist and juicy; and delicious! Try it, you won't be disappointed!\n\nHerb Roasted Holiday Turkey \n1 Reynolds Oven Bag, Turkey Size \n1 tablespoon flour\n2 stalks celery, sliced\n1 medium onion, sliced\n12 to 24 pound turkey, thawed\nVegetable oil\n1 tablespoon dried sage\n1 teaspoon dried thyme\n1 teaspoon dried rosemary\n1 teaspoon seasoned salt\n\nPREHEAT oven to 350°F.\n\nSHAKE flour in Reynolds Oven Bag; place in large roasting pan at least 2 inches deep. Spray inside of bag with nonstick spray to reduce sticking, if desired.\n\nADD vegetables to oven bag. Remove neck and giblets from turkey. Rinse turkey; pat dry. Brush turkey with oil. Combine sage, thyme, rosemary and seasoned salt. Sprinkle and rub herb mixture over turkey, turning to coat evenly. \n\nPLACE turkey in oven bag on top of vegetables.\n\nCLOSE oven bag with nylon tie; cut six 1/2-inch slits in top.

I would also believe it depends on the way you cook your turkey as well. there are so many variations now, baking, roasting, frying, etc. Each one of them lends itself to a different texture and look to the end product! It may be a combination of the two.

Well, well, well, quite a conundrum.\nI have a few thoughts.  \noption #1: Call up Lori ann directly and tell her you would love to cook the turkey, ask if she minds bringing side dishes instead, but if she insists on cooking the stupid bird, let it go.  I would tell her that you want to make a small turkey for yourself, just so she doesnt freak when she comes in your house.  I would cook one myself, for these reasons:\n1. to have the smell of cooking turkey in the house \n2. for leftovers for your family because bird # 1 will be devoured by the guests\n3. you will have the free range variety to ingest\n and \n4. just because its your house and you can do what you want, and you are getting to host, which you wanted to do and its a lot of work to host on its own.\nOption #2:\ndont call her at all and still cook your own bird and whatever else you want and let her bring the stupid bird .  you are getting to host it which is what you really wanted anyway. Just let your mother and her know that you are making a bird "on the side" or hide it in the basement ;0\nOption #3:\ndont cook a bird and you will have oh so much less hastle because the stupid turkey takes so much time to cook, that all the side dishes will be cooked effortlessly without Tom Turkey in the way\noption 4:\nput turkey in microwave to purge it from carcinogens because it is not a free ranger and explode it accidentally (just kidding)\noption 5:\nsmother turkey with mayonnaise from a squeeze bottle and ...oh, just kidding!\nLast part of my opinion:\ndont put your mother in the middle to communicate or things could get ugly ;)\nOption 2 is probably what I would do myself.  \np.s. hubby says if you lived down here, you could take her turkey out back when she arrives and use it as target practice, then serve your own ;)\nand I know, believe me, that it is frustrating to hear that mom doesnt want to hurt HER feelings, but what about yours???  But like I said, if you get to host it, then resolve it with one of the above or better suggestions, so that it goes well for you and doesnt cause your adrenal system to decompensate.

Sure, except I believe that "upside down" would be two words.  To keep eggs fresh without refrigeration you need to turn them every few days, so sometimes they'd be "right side up"  and sometimes they'd be "upside down".   Just a bit of trivia ...

Here's what I'm serving:  homemade "turkey" roast made from Tofu.  Several recipes are available on the web (or you can buy tofurkery or unturkey (made from gluten), both of which are good).  Glazed brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, stuffing, mushroom gravey and maybe another dish if I have the energy.\n\nI disagree with the answer that you should cook turkey for your non-vegetarian friends.  Just tell them before hand that it's a vegetarian thanksgiving, and if they can't live without turkey, let them get it elsewhere.\n\nEnjoy!
