Fast forward to Monday of this week. I get a call from the front office. They've got my turkey. It's here. At work. Frozen solid. Happy Thanksgiving!Wha....? Did I mention it's 22 pounds? Oh, yea, it's 22 pounds!
We're going to two Thanksgiving celebrations. To the first I'm bringing a stuffed and roasted pumpkin, to the other I'm bringing biscuits, rolls and cranberry sauce. Not turkey.
While I wasn't in search of a turkey, and while I've never cooked one before, I'm pretty psyched.
I've done my research, (complete with a Twitter response from Mario Batali) I have the ingredients for a brine (water, salt, cyder, maple syrup, sage, thyme) and the turkey, all 22 pounds, is thawing nicely in the fridge.

Save me a taste! Or better yet, you mentioned cooking it on Sunday... I'm not busy. :-)
