how can a 26 pound turkey be done in 4 hours at 325 degrees? Plus, it's sitting in a bucket of juice. Weird. |

Prolly better to cook two 13 # birds than 1 26 pounder. |

it turned out fine, tasted great. But you could tell that the turkey shrunk appreciably. I've never seen one turkey create so much juice. We had a done bird 2 hours before suppertime so we just turned off the oven and let it sit in the juice. |

Was it 'pre-brined'? THey inject salt water in them, which adds to the weight but you could easily see them producing a lot of juice and shrinking. |

this thread makes me laugh.. Glad it all turned out ok. I remember my mother smoking the first donated HUGE smoked turkey my aunt sent her. it was still good, if tough, but it took her about 4 hours to figure out it was already cooked. |

all kinds of crunchy skin! She cooked the bird in the oven with no top or foil cover. I just had a drumstick this morning, yum yum. |
