transporting the Turkey for Turkey Day...

Outstanding.....you are bringing the Turkey for Thanksgiving. I think your bird will be delicious. I'll take care of the dressing and other fixings.

On a more serious response, I do a Turkey Breast myself. My butcher gets me a boned out http://www.norbestfoodservice.com/products/07-11-boneless-foil-wrapped-turkey-breast breast which is so much easier to work with. It comes foiled, which I use to cook mine wrapped on the front end, and then open up to brown on the back side. It cooks in its natural juices. All you have to do when finished cooking is pull the foil back around the bird, place in cooler and off you go. When you get there, cut the Turkey down the middle to separate the two breast....then rotate them and make nice beautiful slices. So much easier than fighting with the bones. I know there are many that would argue the benefits of a whole bird....but this is a great option for cook and travel plan. Note, the link is not to the actual product I purchase, but you will get the idea. The foiled bird comes sealed in an outer packaged and is removed when ready to cook. If interested, and can't find one in your area, let me know. I will be getting several for myself and others. 

They are about a 9# average and if memory servers me....about $35 bucks. You are paying for some convenience on both the cook and serve side. They come frozen so you still have a couple of days thaw you need to figure into the equation. I have not seen these in grocery stores by the way....so a butcher is your best bet locally.

I have had those...trust me you will like these much better. If you can't find them, let me know....I am happy to get you one or more. I called for a more firm price this morning and they said it would be tomorrow before they would have next months prices in. I have family over in Atlanta...we will figure out how to get it to you if necessary.
