Recipe Talk

Have you all heard about how Safeway's 2-hour turkey recipe? That would free up a lot of time! After looking over the recipe, I am thinking of presenting it to my mom this year to try. Check it out on their site:

I tried this last year and it was a disaster! I even checked with the butcher department at my local Safeway to find out what I could have done wrong. The butcher said to his knowledge no one had tried it.
My house filled with smoke from the burnt turkey skin. Gravy could not be made from the burnt drippings. My oven was exactly on temp. The turkey meat was very moist, but the rest of the bird was very black. I even wrote Sunset kitchens (where the recipe was supposedly tested) but never received a reply.
My three sons said if I ever tried this recipe again, they would eat out!

Wow! It sounds like you had a horrible experience. I read that you have to follow their exact directions, so a minor thing could have resulted in something major! You followed it to their precise instructions?

Less than 2-days left! We start prepping Wednesday night! New recipes are always fun to try. Are you all pretty prepared?
