I'm not a turkey fan, to be honest. I did not grow up with it in the Philippines and honestly have not tasted any that truly impressed me. But I know that all the goodness is in those juices! Oh and I just heard on tv a few days ago that those pop up things on the bird will just 'kill'/overcook the bird so tell your in-laws not to rely on it next time. Lol! I'm guessing they don't have access to this site? hehehehe.......Joy Page Manuelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00869379846706830802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955247165501429698.post-70172859905323526272011-11-25T18:23:24.864-05:002011-11-25T18:23:24.864-05:00MMm nothing better than a well made turkey... and ...MMm nothing better than a well made turkey... and from what you described Lalia, that was nothing like a well made turkey! LOL! So sorry you had to deal with the tasteless, premade or prepackaged stuff. Cream of crap soup, that is priceless! And the horror of watching them dump those awesome turkey juices down the drain... I know I couldn't handle it. You are a far stronger person than I, Lalia.

Of course, we can't help but look on with horror and compare with our own tasty, made from scratch turkey dinners.<br> <br>My sister's Thanksgiving meal is a trifle better than your in-laws; at least her turkey looks beautiful but it tastes like water, her gravy is water with mix, and everything else lacks seasoning. When I was in the food business, I'd prepare an average 25-30 turkey dinners at Christmas, a selection of stuffings made from scratch and pan-juice gravies, and juicy, tasty turkeys.<br><br>Those were the days, Laila. Can't you offer to take or cook the turkey next time?Penelope J.http://donthangupbook.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955247165501429698.post-18679855196059394472011-11-25T14:36:14.845-05:002011-11-25T14:36:14.845-05:00@Fred, that is sad, but not surprising at all. @B...@Fred, that is sad, but not surprising at all. <br><br>@Barbara, Cream of Crap soup is any of those cream of something condensed canned soups that are thick and tasteless but still contain about 3 days worth of sodium intake.

We took it off and replaced it with Kraft (from a pouch) and they just love it.
