[quote=Anonymous]For the life of me couldn't find the giblets, cursed whole foods for ripping me off. Had to make a turkey neck gravy. Found the giblets as I was carving the turkey. I did a brine for about 15hrs the turkey was really juicy and surprisingly good, despite maybe slightly over cooking, not sure I read the end of the thermometer right.

Oh, and turkey number one from giant on sale for 8$ was frozen and not defrosted after the second day so I tried to defrost in the microwave. After reading you have to cook it right away (still day before thanksgiving) I ended up throwing it out and running to whole foods to get a fresh turkey $25.

My husband said at that point the bar was set pretty low. But the sides, stuffing and gravy came out really well. Although, I had to improvised With the gravy as I had very little pan juice from the turkey not sure why. But, I just added the turkey neck stock to the pan and tried to deglaze as much as possible from the roasting pan then poured it into a medium size pot with the corn starch and turkey meat. I could have cooked it more to get it a bit thicker but by then folks wanted to eat. I didn't have time to make the sweet potato casserole but got as far as boiling them and I will make it tomorrow.
