Well, this was a fake turkey dinner, because it was not a turkey. It was a chicken.
There was no way I was going to cook a whole freakin’ giant bird for just J and I. No way.
I think for my first attempt to prepare a turkey dinner, a chicken did just fine. Look, you can’t even tell it’s not turkey. Looks just like it :)
And THIS was our entire meal. I think I pretty much outdid myself! I didn’t expect it to look so close to the “original” ;)

Then we vistited a friend who was smoking a turkey outside in an enclosed smoker, very interesting. Then we went to Pete’s house, where we got to have a deep fried turkey. Oh, the crispy, heavenly bird…a must have! I really thank the Universe for not giving me any Tofurkey, I would have had to punch someone in the genitals for that! Ugh!
