turkey 911 help!

*Bre*

so H's brilliant idea to cook a turkey (even though we don't have the proper tools) was a fail. It is done on the outside and raw on the inside. He tore up the bird and tra-la-la-la ran off to work for the night. I find the turkey and FREAK. It needs to be cooked NOW right? Since we already started?!

I stuck it back in the oven at 425* with the raw sides up in the cooking pan....will this work? Any other tips? I've never cooked a turkey in my life and just KNEW this was going to be a disaster.

since it is done on the outside, I would cover it with tin foil or a lid if you have it and lower the temp.  You don't want it to burn.  But yes, you need to cook it now.

I texted H to remind me to kick his azz tonight when he gets off at 12. He doesn't *get* food safety. I'm recording my speaker for my thesis study  TOMORROW at 8 am. I have no time to pick up his pieces.

an azzkicking is sooo in order here.  Nothing like food poisoning to bring the family together for the holidays  

Good luck on your thesis stuff tomorrow.  Hope it goes smoothly for you.

best bet is low/slow but do finish cooking it. If it is really dry, get some turkey broth (like in the boxes in the soup aisle), heat some in a pan and put the slices in there for a few seconds. It will help it perk up a little.
