[quote=Anonymous]I think a turkey bag is actually called a roasting bag.  Most grocery stores have them in the section with aluminum roasting pans.  You put the turkey in the bag, and then put the bagged turkey in the roasting pan.  Follow the directions on the turkey bag package on the oven temp and estimated length of cooking, as it may vary from your recipe.  You can still gussy up the turkey and/or stuff it before putting it in the bag--the bag just makes it cook faster.  The bag eliminates the need for basting.  If you want the turkey to have a pretty brown skin, I think the turkey bag package tells you to cut open the turkey bag to expose the turkey for the last 30 minutes of cooking (just read the package and see what it says).

Cranberries--you're looking for any that are squishy or otherwise gross.  You'll know when you see them.

Could your friends bring wine?

Pumpkin pie is actually very easy.  Use the Libby's recipe.  Make sure you buy whatever type of milk in a can it calls for--can't remember if it's sweetened condensed or evaporated.  The hardest part is the crust (really not that hard), and you can buy pre-made frozen crusts if you want.  I would just make two pumpkin pies, buy a can of whipped cream, and not worry about the other desserts.[/quote]
