My favorite part of turkeys is the wing tips. I wish that I could buy
turkey,
duck and chicken wing tips. I wonder what they do with all the
chicken wing tips.
With the popularity of the other two sections, you know that many
millions of the
tips are used for something other than being fried up--or baked on
cookie sheets--by
consumers. Same goes for the skins.

I hate turkey cooked in those bags.

It was vastly better than no turkey. And also a lot better than last
year's deep fried (and way oversalted, as I was reminded). But the
downside was no pan drippings and no mirapoix to make a deep rich and
brown gravy from! And tghe turkey was certainly not dry.

A good Thanksgiving dinner all ways around. And I just finished
storing 3 small plastic containers full of left-over Magical Garlic
Potatoes! Two in my freezer and one in the refrigerator which I'll use
from!! :-)

I always cook in the Reynolds cooking bags. Keeps the turkey with stuffing
very moist and it does brown at the end. i like them. One in the oven as I
speak and will be ready in a couple of hours.

I ended up with a wonderful amount of leftover mashed potatoes that
will last through the leftovers, but more importantly will be the base
for potato bread (rolls).

I've never tried the bags and was thinking while I read the thread
that if I tried it, I'd slit the bag at the end so it would brown. I
do 12 lb turkeys... do you think they would behave the same way?
