oh good Mary, can't wait to see what you come up with. My first turkey took awhile to make, I had to make a pattern and all that good stuff.wasn't quite sure about the size, so I just winged it. the second one took about 1 1/2 hrs, that included the stuffing which we all know takes time thru that little hole and all. Mdall and jamin, just wing it, all the time it takes to make up a good excuse you could be making one. even just 10 minutes a day, at the end of the week it's done. really it is. so come and join us,,,please.
