We were on call again today, so I was unsure if I could get my turkey baked. I slept in late and when I work up, I decided to bake the bird and hope that we didn't get a phone call. I've never made a turkey by myself before, so I called my Mom a few times to clarify what I needed to do. I had made the stuffing the night before so all I had to do this morning was to wash the turkey, get rid of the gizzards and such, stuff the turkey and put it in the turkey bag to bake it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a turkey bag in Miami, so I bought the next size down (which was for up to 8 pounds) and just put two of them on my turkey, which was slightly less than 13 pounds. Because I used a bag, it only had to bake for 2.5-3 hours (which was great since we were waiting for a call). I also made sweet potatoes (or yams, I am not sure which I grabbed at the store), mashed potatoes, zucchini and carrots, and brownies for desert. Luckily, everything turned out wonderful and we didn't get called in while we were cooking or eating! Here are a few pictures of the dinner:
