The Jennie - O OVEN READY™ Whole Turkey

About 10:45 this morning a FedEx truck pulled up in front of the house. I didn't remember ordering

anything, so I was curious to see what was in the big box the driver was bringing up to the door. As the driver handed me the box I seen the familiar Jennie - O Turkey colors on the box so I knew Jennie - O had sent me something. I could tell what it was right away because the box was heavy! Sure enough Jennie O had sent me a 13.2 lb. OVEN READY™ Whole Turkey! I believe this is the 3rd or 4th year in a row I have received a free Turkey for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Dinner

Today's Menu: Thanksgiving Dinner






Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful day. Well I've been taking care of my parents the last few days, both have the flu that's been going around. Now, I have it! It was bound to happen and I rarely get the flu, but I have it now. All you can do is work through it! For Dinner Tonight, Thanksgiving Dinner.








Last month I had posted that Jennie -O had sent me a free 12 - 13 lb. Jennie - O Oven Ready Whole Turkey, and today we put that Bird to use! It goes straight from your freezer to the oven, no thawing needed! How easy is this! It comes sealed in a Fool Proof Cooking Bag. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.  Just place it in a roasting pan, put 6 - 1/2" slits in the top of the bag, and let that Bird Roast. Roast the turkey until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the breast reaches 170°F, it also has a Pop -Up  Thermometer inserted in it. When it was done I let the Turkey rest for 15 minutes.  What a Turkey! Seasoned perfectly, moist, and just bursting with flavor! Thanks again to Jennie - O Turkey!

For sides we used Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes, Deviled Eggs, Baked Sweet Potatoes, home canned Green Beans, and I heated up some rolls for Mom and Dad. For dessert later Mom had baked an Apple Pie and also a Chocolate Pie, using Splenda Sugar. Again hope all of you had a fantastic Thanksgiving, take care!

A Huge Thank You to Jennie - O Turkey!

Last night I was just talking to my Mom about getting a Turkey for the upcoming Thanksgiving. Then about 9:30 this morning a delivery driver pulled up, as he walked by the dining room window I could tell he was carrying a heavy box. I answered the knock and he said I better bring this in for you it's a heavy one. I thanked him and I seen on the label on the familiar white delivery box it was from Jennie - O Turkey. Opened it up and Bam, our Thanksgiving Turkey was here!



I receive Jennie - O Products, Gifts, and coupons from time to time. I was invited by Jennie - O to join their Switch Club to test and blog about their products that I try. I had already received many products already but this was an incredible product to revive! It's the Jennie - O OVEN READY™ Whole Turkey. It feels about like a 10-12 lb. Turkey, maybe even more. It comes sealed in our Fool-Proof® cooking bag, with Gravy Packet, and Preseasoned. Just pop this Bird, while frozen, in the oven and you got your Turkey for the Thanksgiving Feast! I'll update this after we have the Turkey for Thanksgiving. Again many thanks to Jennie - O Turkey for sending me this and thank you to all the subscribers and readers that keep me going!
