Turkey in a Bag
2
DYCLARK
"This is a very easy way to make a Thanksgiving turkey using an oven bag. The bird will be perfectly moist when done, and you can make gravy out of the juice that forms in the bottom of the bag. Plus, cleanup is a snap! The cooking time will vary for different sized turkeys."

I want to like this, so much. It's how my mother in law makes turkey and all I can taste is the bag. The skin is soggy and the turkey always overcooks, no matter how much we adjust the time. S...

this is a fool proof recipe; you don't think it will brown in a bag, but it does and its always moist and delish. I make it this way every year and its always a hit!
