Turkey in a Bag

SUBMITTED BY: DYCLARK  PHOTO BY: Sheena808 

"This is a very easy way to make a Thanksgiving turkey using an oven bag. The bird will be perfectly moist when done, and you can make gravy out of the juice that forms in the bottom of the bag. Plus, cleanup is a snap! The cooking time will vary for different sized turkeys."
