Should the bird rest on the platter or in the roaster pan?

:shrug:

I have it in the roasting pan still. Just took it out of the oven.

1. i let it rest in the pan and then after about 20 minutes i move it to the cutting board

the big one with the moat dealie and let it rest for another 10 minutes or so and then carve it.

3. Thanks! - Sounds like a plan.....

I already have real turkey gravy I got at the local turkey farm but more

can't hurt! :9 Besides I can save the drippings for turkey pie or stew!

Thanks!! :D

2. Let it rest in the roasting pan. If you put it onto the platter already,

it'll ooze all over the platter. :hi:

5. Good thinking!! --- Hi Heidi !!!

That's good thinking. I definitely don't need an extra mess to clean up today!
Trying to avoid that like the plague! How've you been? Long time, no see!!
Are you observing Thanksgiving today? hope you're having a good day!!

8. Hey, Breezey-one!

We're all finished. It's 8:26 p.m. here, and we had ham, rösti and green beans for Thanksgiving dinner. YUM! The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is now enjoying a plate of cat-fart-inducing finely shredded ham. :rofl:

Happy Thanksgiving, dear! :hug: :loveya:

7. Doesn't matter for the turkey - however, to make gravy, you need it out of the pan

so that you can get all those good drippings and stuff into the gravy.

Unless you put your bird in one of those goddamned bags.

9. those bags, one year we went to a neighbors house, she had cooked, no steamed the turkey

in one of those bags, she takes it out of the oven, cuts the bag away and starts tearing the turkey apart. I brought almost everything else and that's what we ended up eating, all the side dishes.
