Hey Tasha, ... ... ... Here's a 'clean-up' portion of the recipe above I forgot to add ...
The Turkey Popped Out of the Oven
The Turkey popped out of the oven and rocketed in to the air; It knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, Then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor, There was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there had never been turkey before..
It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl; There wasn't a way I could stop it; that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scraped with displeasure and thought with chagrin as I mopped, That I would never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -- imagine that. When I found 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 - 15 lb. turkey 1 cup melted butter 1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.) 1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT) Salt/pepper to taste
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 ass blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done.
And, you thought I didn't cook...
Love Ya,
Pappy

Doesn't matter if he LIKES turkey or not ... ... ... what matters is if he ACTS like a turkey ... ... ... you know our PM conversation, ROAST his butt if you need to ... LOL ... but if you stuff him with orville's Popcorn 1st, then be ready to 'duck' ...

I can believe what I'm seeing. I mean, if the ice cream wasn't bad enough. So what's next on the menu Pappy, ham hocks and red eyed gravy? Please God, no more. Well, I can look at it this way; my goose is cooked, literally. Thanks again Pappy, now I'm in serious trouble. No more food references, okay.
David, just go get a big bowl of Ice Cream and put it where you can eat it with one hand while you do your board reading with the mouse in the other hand ...
Don't worry, when you pass-out now, you'll just wake-up tomorrow weighing a little more, but NO HANGOVER ... ain't it great??? ...
(My biggest problem is that I stopped smoking cigarettes about 2 months ago, and everything, and I DO MEAN EVERYTHING, tastes great ... Last Drs. visit they said mr. G. you are gaining water weight and that's bad, since I just went thru congestive heart failure, and I told them 'hell, that ain't water weight gain, that's all puddin' 'n ice cream ...)(Ya know, they had a real hard time being 'serious with me after I said that ... took a while for them to get their composure ...)

No more ice cream references, you hear. At least you're right about one thing Pappy, no more hangovers. Ain't that grand. Okay, maybe one more bowl of ice cream, just one though. After that, straight to bed...
