Gobble gobble!

My Dad sent me the following recipe for Thanksgiving turkey:

• 10-12 lb. Turkey
• 1 cup melted butter
• 3 cups stuffing
• 2 cups uncooked popcorn
• salt/pepper to taste

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Brush Turkey well with melted butter, salt and pepper.
• 3. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
• 4. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of oven.
• 5. Listen for popping sounds.
• 6. When the Turkey's rear end blows the oven door open and the Turkey flies across the room, it's done.

It's a traditional recipe when anybody who is anybody these days knows that you brine (Alton's Brined Bird) [1] the sucker first and don't stuff it (although I might do the popcorn thang).

So I'm off to brine the bird …
