My quest for the perfect turkey has had its share of highs and lows… and judging from your responses to our perfect turkey survey, I’m not alone!
• Whoops! 15% of you admit to having dropped the turkey on the way to the table. (Full disclosure: It’s happened to me, too!). Happily, only 15% of you say your pet has eaten your turkey (before you could serve it to your guests).
• At last, proof that looks can be deceiving… 34% say they’ve served a turkey that was golden brown on the outside…and raw on the inside! Whats more, 10% say, their turkey imploded when they started to carve it.
• Wishful thinking. 4 out of 10 of us have bought a turkey that was too big for our oven.
• I knew I forgot something! 47 % say they forgot to remove the giblets before cooking their turkey.
• Your (lack of!) cooking skills are legendary – 16 % admit that their guests have brought their own food to their holiday celebration (in anticipation of their turkey).
• Better safe than sorry… A whopping 57% say they’ve definitely cooked a turkey too long – even though 52 % say they consult a recipe when preparing their turkey!
