How many of you know how to cook? Like, if need be, you’d be able to whip out a full-course Thanksgiving meal for your family? If you can’t—I certainly couldn’t; we’d be eating Cap’n Crunch—then have a look at the Jennie-O oven-ready turkey. It’s a full-sized turkey in a bag that you stick in the oven with no preparation. There’s no thawing, no, um, other things… Really, you open the package, slice a couple holes in the “fool-proof” bag and throw it in the oven. That’s it. Within a few hours, you’re eating a not-too-bad turkey. Maybe the skin’s a little salty, says yumsugar, but the convenience of being able to “set it and forget it” is too great to ignore.
This turkey retails for $57 (is that how much turkeys cost?) on the Jennie-O Web site. If I were a brave man, I’d get one and do a review for CG, but I’d probably start a grease fire. Yes, a grease fire without even turning on the stove.

I am totally getting this and pretending I did it myself!
If you can read you can cook. It’s that easy.
That said, cooking is time consuming. That’s the big draw back for most people.
it is a waste and pricey. Unless that includes shipping…
I cook a Turducken. You get it in the mail, put in the fridge for a few days.
Put in the oven for 5 hours. Remove from oven.
Eat. Eat. Eat. Bring lots of friends, it feeds 25. Or you can get the Turducken breast, feeds 7.
Easy.
OK.
a) I would never eat anything called a ‘Turducken’
b) I would never eat anything that is described as…
“a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken”
WTF?!
