I am hosting Christmas Dinner. I was thinking of going to Publix or Target and purchasing one of their turkey dinners . Supposedly, the turkey (12-16 pounders) is cooked and you just have to warm it up. Also comes with the usual sides and an apple pie.

I can always make the rice stuffing on the side.

Anyone ever try this??

I haven't but a BF has done this and is doing it this year. By all accounts, he was pleased with the effect last year. His wife had health problems that were pretty severe and doing the whole thing was just too much for her last year. They liked it well enough to do it again although she's much better now.

That says something about how good those dinners are or about how bad her cooking is normally. :D

I've never had a deep fried turkey but it's my understanding that the #1 cause for fires associated with frying a turkey is because people are stupid enough to put a frozen turkey into hot oil. I heard that you must completely thaw the turkey before submerging it into the oil.

I don't have the guts to attempt a deep fried turkey, I am too accident prone.
