[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love to cook but I absolutely hate, hate making turkey.

[b]It takes so much work [/b]to overcome the fact that it’s just a bad piece of meat. Dry, flavorless. So there’s the brining and the flavor injecting and basting. I have to clear out half a fridge to fit a container big enough to hold the turkey in the brine. Yes you can do a bag but the chances of the bag breaking and your entire fridge becoming a biohazard zone are too high. I seem to never be able to get the stupid thing out of the brine without splashing it all over myself. I’m left putting up caution tape while I sanitize the kitchen and then shower/wash my clothes as if I was in a nuclear reactor.

It takes up the entire oven and you have to guard oven so unhelpful people don’t open the door to look at it dropping the temp.

Once it’s done getting it out of the roasting pan is another problem. My dogs who are allowed no where near the kitchen, line up in anticipation of a time when I finally drop the huge thing.

It looks nice for five minutes. Once it’s carved..aka hacked apart by Uncle Bob, it looks like the most unappetizing carcass left behind in the woods by wild animals.[/quote]

You are doing it wrong then. Takes about 5 min prep work, then into the oven. 
The carving the turkey afterwards is about 20 min of work, but once it's carved up and placed in foil or containers, makes it really simple to serve up. [/quote]

The[b] brining[/b] takes longer than 5 minutes.  [/quote]

You are DEFINITELY doing it wrong. GROSS. [/quote]
