Okay, Lounge. I need some Thanksgiving help. [View All]

I love my wife but she's the world's worst cook. My daughters have learned that when they wake up to the smoke detector going off, not to panic, it's just mom making breakfast (I'm not exaggerating). The evenings when she says "I'm going try something new for dinner", my daughters and I just exchange wide eyed looks of terror.

Last Thanksgiving was really bad. Imagine a plate of, what I can best describe as, Turkey Jerky.

So, this year my daughters and I are going to make the dinner. We're set on the side dishes, but I've never cooked a Turkey in my life. I looked up recipes on Google and was inundated with hundreds of them without any clue to tell which ones are good and which ones are bad. If we screw it up, that pretty much negates our rights to complain about her cooking for a long time, so we need to produce a fantastic bird.

So, does anyone here have a Turkey recipe that I can borrow? It doesn't have to be simple, we're willing to work...just need a path to follow.
