When I developed this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try. 8 - 25 lb. turkey 1 cup melted butter Olive oil (As needed) 1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.) 1 cup uncooked popcorn (Orville's or Newman's ) Salt/pepper to taste 15 garlic cloves (I usually go with 3-4 bulbs) 5 jalapenos diced (1 or 2 habaneros if available) (I used to add a can of beer but with 25 years sober no longer an option) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's butt blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done. And, you thought I didn't cook...
