bobbi, that pie crust is absolutely amazing! are those little leaves? wow! seriously, if you can make a pie crust like that, you'll have no trouble with a turkey.

i made my first turkey back in college for a bunch of foreign exchange students. at that point, my cooking experience was basically nil. if i can stick a turkey in a bag (which i highly recommend, by the way) and have it turn out perfectly, you can too!

good luck. and happy thanksgiving! :)

Is that YOUR pie crust? If it is, I'm coming over.

27? Seriously?

nah.. just kidding about the 27 :)

ellen, i DID buy the bag, i'm not too worried, except that i am a novice, and i don't much like to be a novice...he he.

3rdly, the leaves are pressed from a pampered chef cookie cutter into a pillsbury preformed crust. not alot to take credit for. very pretty tho, i recommend trying it!

happy turkey day!

If I made that crust, it would take me three Pillsbury boxes and fourteen cuss words...and then the peeps would devour it without noticing it was pretty.

Still coming over.

Is Phil going to stick his hand in the turkey butt for you? That's how I knew Trevor was The One.
