I was a newlywed and in my early 20's. We found them when my husband was carving the bird! I was embarrassed in front of my family but we removed the bag and ate the turkey anyway.

I made the cranberry sauce and pie (I wasn't letting them go down with the proverbial ship). He cooked the turkey in a bag - just like my sister - but instead of a plastic roasting bag, he tried to use a brown paper grocery bag. The gravy was watery and tasteless. And I knew we were in trouble when I walked into the kitchen at 2 pm and it smelled like breakfast, because my husband put 1 tsp instead of 1/8 tsp of nutmeg in the stuffing and proceeded to cook it alongside the turkey for hours until it was rock-hard.

I thought I'd make spaghetti....who could mess that up, right?! Well, apparently me because I burned the sauce....oh well, they were very gracious about it and acted like it was no big deal. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day....do you do Black Friday?

I had my husband take a casserole down to the basement fridge the night before, and he had to take out the turkey to rearrange things. Thursday morning I found the turkey on the floor near the fridge. He forgot to put it back in. Quick trip to grocery stores to find a very large fresh bird! Still laugh about that one.
