turkeys don't usually tell me how to cook them

If a turkey ever tells me how to cook it, I'm not going to cook it.

IMO yes, or better. I also cook mine upside down. If you don’t need to present it later, the breasts will just simmer in juice the whole time.

I don't know. I've never had one talk to me about recipes. They must be thinking about food, though. Because they say 'gobble gobble gobble' a lot.

No, turkeys who tell lies are often heading down a bad road. They won’t turn out well at all. It’s a shame. You used to be able to trust a turkey, not these days.

It's safe to cook food straight from frozen, but it will take longer. Use a thermometer to make sure it gets to the correct temperature.

I've always thought recipes that insist on thawed food and preheated ovens, do so only to ensure the prescribed cooking time is correct.

I cook frozen stuff all the time. I never pre-thaw unless I need to manipulate it in some way that I can't as a solid frozen block. Like, you can't stuff a frozen turkey for example. Put a frozen hunk of meat in a cold oven? You won't notice in the end, if you pay attention to it.

I had only had from frozen turkey before. A friend gave me a turkey he got from work that he didn't want. Fresh never frozen bird. It was BY FAR the great turkey I'd ever had. You'd think it was a different animal, so tender and juicy.

Probably never having one again though because they're much more expensive lol. Hopefully my buddy gets more free turkey!
