Turkey lesson

I learned today to never try and cook a turkey on a day your wife wants to shop at IKEA.
I put a turkey on at 11 a.m. Wife wanted to go to IKEA. I waited a half hour wanted to make sure the temp would hold at 325º. Thought we would be gone 2-3 hours at the longest.
Well 7 hours later I return to 198º turkey. Very dry. (Egg was still holding a temp of 325º) (Glad I was making Mad Max Gravy.)

Turkey Jerky?

Bummer, My Suggestion: TURKEY BBQ.

It wasn't quite tat dry. But today I started up a very large pot of smoked turkey soup. Thats one way to add moisture to the meat.

Great idea to save the day!

I'm planning to roast some vegetables to add it to it later today.
