Turkey day 11/16/2022

The other day my neighbor friend brought us a surprise gift, which was a whole turkey. We thankfully received her love and kindness. When I opened our freezer, there was no space for such a big turkey. The cooking instruction says we will need to thaw it in the refrigerator for 4 days. Luckily, we had enough room for the whole bird in the refrigerator, so we kept it for 3 nights/4 days. This morning it was ready to cook. With the help of my husband, we gave a good massage to the bird with generous amount of olive oil and other spices, and baked it in the oven.

It turned out pretty well. My husband and daughter enjoyed the nice dinner. As for me, I noticed my body does not accept much of turkey, so only some small bites were enough for me. Now, there were lots of leftover for my husband in the freezer.
