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...

The Turkey Popped Out of the Oven
The Turkey popped out of the oven and rocketed into 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. written by Jack Prelutsky __________________

LOL Pappy....
I thought "what a novel idea--popcorn stuffing in a turkey". I am serious, I really thought that. Brain cells still trying to fire up there! 2nd posting is just too much humor...cold cream here I come. Laugh lines are better than frown lines, though. Thanks for posting!
