The bird has to go in the oven at some point today. Make sure it comes out just right with some tips from the butter ball turkey talk line. Im not going to say gobble gobble, stick around. So here we are early on thanksgiving morning. And theres a turkey that needs to be cooked. For many, thats where the trouble starts. This year were not messing around. We need an expert. Joining us now on the phone is margine with butter balls turkey talk line. Margine, good morning. Good morning. I got to ask you, an this point, am i in trouble if my turkey is still alive . If its still alive, you better catch it quick. But margine, there are a lot of people who are firsttime bird cookers this thanksgiving. What do you do if youve left the gizzards inside and forgot to take them out . A lot of people panic over that, but its not a problem at all. Its really part of the turkey. I dont know how good the giblets will be after theyve cooked inside the bird, but its not going to hurt the turkey. Okay. So margine, what would you say then is the most basic thing that you can tell us to do to ensure success when we are cooking our turkey today . Well, the best thing is to have a Meat Thermometer because then you can monitor exactly when the turkeys done. It will not overcook that way. And because overcooking gives you dry meat. And so a meet thermometer is really important and i know its a little late to get one at this point. If you dont have one, is there another way to gauge timing and how ready the bird is . Well, you know, we do have some charts with times. And if you kind of follow that, that will be a big help. But you can pierce the skin on the thigh area. Thats the last part to finish cooking. And if the juices run clear, thats an indication its done. Who knew. Thats good to know. What do you do if youve overcooked the bird and its way too dry . Well, all you can do is add either some you know broth or some gravy and serve it with the gravy to help, you know, mask that. There isnt anything else you can do really. Margine, my turkey is supposed to look black at the end, right . No, not quite. Not quite. Golden brown is what youre looking for. But and going back to, all right, say ive caught the turkey and its still frozen at this point. Is it too late to defrost it and still make it in time for dinner . Probably, unless you only have a twopound turkey. It takes 30 minutes per pound to defrost in cool water. So you know, a 20pound bird, you have to have ten hours before it will deprofit. If its still frozen at this point, you really cant cooking from frozen. Its just a little harder to determine when its going to be done. And it wont cook as evenly but you know, worst comes to worst, youll have to do it that way. Whats better, stuffing inside in the cavity or outside . Its really a personal preference. I like mine inside the bird. But you do have a few cautions, and one is, dont make your stuffing ahead so that youre putting cold stuffing inside the bird or it wont get done. Rather, you can get all your ingredients ready if youre cooking part of the ingredients, do that. And refref rate that but dont mix it with the crumbs till its just ready to go into the oven. Do the mixing in the bird. And then check the temperature. It needs to reach 165 to know the stuffing is safe. Theres so much to think about. Do you also know the number to pizza hut just in case everything goes wrong. Oh, no, it wont go wrong. Youre going to have a wonderful turkey today. Margine, you have a happy thanksgiving. Thank you its been fun to be with you. Margine with butter balls an turkey talk line. You are such a lifesaver every year. Thank you and happy thanksgiving.
