[from "Not Martha" newsletter] Our family recipe, "Turkey in a Bag," makes the most perfect moist turkey you've ever had, and it's remarkably easy -- perfect for my first turkey-cooking as a married woman.

Plain brown shopping bag (preferably NOT made from recycled goods)

Jar of Crisco (OR-4 sticks of butter, melted)

Cooking rack

Turkey pan

450º oven










Recipe



Using the Crisco™, grease both sides of bag, inside and out. (OR-place melted butter inside of bag, swish about untill throughly soaked thru)

Stuff and Truss Turkey

Place prepared Turkey inside bag

Staple bag securely shut

Position Turkey on cooking rack, placed in pan

Quickly place turkey inside oven so you don't lose heat. Be sure top of bag doesn't touch top oven coils. (fire hazard!)
