I think this is why we have Thanksgiving, to keep us from killing ourselves before Christmas.

Turkeys are pretty big. You can get small ones that are @ 12 lbs but this one was about 20 and you can easily get them up to 25 just buying them from the grocer's case. If you ever come to New York, we'll have turkey! They ARE delicious if you buy it fresh and know how to cook it right, a lot of people just smother them in gravy because unless you know what you're doing, they come out very dry and bland. They take about four hours in the oven.
