1. You need at least 4 days to thaw a 15 # bird in the fridge.
2. Those thermometers are crap. Get a digital one.

My money is on frozen bird, and your thermometer wasn't reading correctly.
Oooh ok! I thought maybe those thermometers were like the ones we take our temperatures with. I've always heard the ones you have to shake are more accurate than the digital ones so that's why I got confused (doesn't take much sometimes, lol). I'll get one of the digital ones and maybe make a turkey when Patrick gets back so I can redeem myself laugh out loud Thanks Smilie

ok i don't want to send you guys out to buy a new appliance, but i'm totally going to preach it right now Tongue

go buy a roaster oven
seriously
go buy one
now

a 20lb turkey cooked in 3 1/2 hrs in that thing
it. is. awesome.

we brined the turkey in a 5lb pickle bucket with lots of salt and garlic pepper (for about 24hrs), injected butter under the skin in a few places, then put the turkey in the roaster oven at 350-375 (can't remember). that sucker was done less than 4hrs later - and it was the BEST turkey we've ever made. Drool

the roaster oven is a PLUS for a few reasons. obviously, cooking your turkey elsewhere frees up your oven for other things. not to mention, you can put that roaster oven out on the porch or in the garage, thus eliminating all the HEAT eminating from the oven. i will never cook a turkey in the oven again. laugh out loud

This is how my family has always cooked turkey. I had to confess earlier this week that I have never cooked a turkey in the regular oven. It's way easier to clean up too.Wink

heart This is also the super easy way to take a turkey over to someone's house too. You can just unplug it and set it in the car. As long as you don't drive more than 30 minutes it will still be very warm. Can you tell one side of my family is totally huge and we need multiple birds?

Dude, seriously! The easy clean-up thing is definitely a plus.

Of course, we were sold on it after the first time we used it. We hosted Thanksgiving the year we got married, and had BOTH families in our house. They were expecting something good. We went out on a limb - we brined the turkey and used the brand new roaster oven. We had so many compliments on the turkey that we knew we'd never use a normal oven again laugh out loud

Iagree I haven't cooked a turkey in an oven...like...ever. Hide Mom has big, med & little roasters (I borrow the little one all the time) so I just did what she did and am so glad I do. Totally agree that it cooks in less time & is super juicy. As a matter of fact for the past 2 thanksgivings I've lent it to my SIL (we had turkey day with them) and this year she bought her own b/c she loves how it cooks the bird so much!

Happy Gobble Day everyone!
