Until we started carving it and realized that I did not pull out the bag with the liver and heart and whatever other nasty things are in there. It was my first time ever making a turkey. I was already pretty grossed out to stick my hand in their and pull that junk out, but I did it…I just didn’t realize there were more than one bag. I just pulled out the neck bag assuming that all the gross junk was in one bag. Nope. Not true.
Note to people who pack up the turkey’s…just stick all the nasty crap in one bag. Not only will it save your company money on those little plastic bags, but it makes it much easier on the virgin turkey cookers.
Thanks. Oh and yes, I still fed my family the turkey…after I vomited in the bathroom!
I did the same thing last year. I didn’t even want to touch the stupid thing! All I could think of was getting Salmonella. I got over it though and I learned a lesson!
LOL I’ll have to remember that for the first time I cook my own turkey.
Of course I dont’ mind, go ahead and copy it off my blog, spread the word so we can all enjoy the 25 days of Christmas 🙂
I think I did this with my first Turkey. Thanks for the memories and the laugh. Now that icky stuff I boil it and feed it to the cats. They think I’m the greatest.
Hmm I wonder if we should have given it to my puppy….maybe he will like my husband LOL
I’ve done the same thing before, and it wasn’t my first turkey. I just threw the bag away and didn’t even tell anyone. It didn’t taste any different and no one knew the difference.
lol Don’t feel bad. After I pulled out the neck I had to call my mom to ask her where the heck the other parts were… I just knew they’d hid them in there somewhere. Nothing worse than being elbow deep in slimy turkey pulling out nasty stuff that hardly anyone ever eats. My sister taught me the plastic bag trick so I don’t have to touch the nasty turkey guts with my bare skin… best trick EVER! Saves a lot of time when you aren’t gagging. lol
I hate those bags too!
