Thanksgiving Turkey - Marilyn's Recipe

Note: I cook the sausage in a fry pan first, but I don't think she did. Marilyn grinds the onions and celery together for the dressing and grinds the giblets and adds them to the gravy. Use unsalted butter - you can always add salt later.

Cook breast down, then breast up last two hours.

My cook times - 20 lb turkey 2008:

8 hours (1st 2 hours = 300)

Easy Gravy:

Use gravy separater cup.

Shake togther in glass jar with lid: 2 c. chicken brother 1/3 c. flour.

Take 2 c. liquid from turkey pan, whisk in above mixture, cook in saucepan until thickened.
