Where's my TURKEY?

Recommended Posts

For Thanksgiving day, we usually cook a Amish raised turkey of about 20 pounds. When Eileen went to get the turkey this year, they were sold out of the larger birds so she bought two 12 pounders. We decided to cook one in the oven and that I would deep fry the other. They both looked very good but we didn't have that many people for Thanksgiving dinner so put the one that I fried on the table and that ended up being enough. It was completely gone but we never cut the second one.

 

Yesterday was going to be a day of relaxation and then leftovers which I actually enjoy more than the actual Thanksgiving day dinner. Eileen got the second turkey out and set it on the counter. About thirty minutes later, I came down from the bedroom where I had been watching a movie with the intentions of carving the turkey and preparing a big plate of turkey, dressing, all the trimmings.

 

NOTHING BUT FOIL on the counter. The turkey was GONE. The only thing left was a piece of foil on the counter, a piece of foil on the floor and a very content looking 80 lb. dog laying in on the rug and wagging her tail. She is usually very well behave and had NEVER gotten anything off the counter before but I guess a large roasted turkey was just more than she could resist. We have a doggy door and I'm sure that she took it outside to eat because there was no mess at all on the floor. No grease, no juice, nothing. She cleaned up after herself very well.

 

So if one of you could send me just a single turkey sandwich...I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a turkey burger today. :doh:

Mom did the same thing one year with a 8 Lb Ham. she went to go get it , and we could'nt find it. so we ate just the turkey.

 

Later that afternoon, Our dog Pepper came strolling down the stairs, to the living room, and rolled over and went to sleep. (were all just staring at her) Thinking Yep, she's the one.

she was smart enough to take it up stairs and hide under the bed. I wonder if she ate the cloves?

Don--Keep a close eye on her. Dogs and bird bones don't go together very well. They splinter and can possibly tear a dog up on the inside.

 

I caught our dog with his paws on the counter looking one time. He doesn't do that anymore. He once took my son's sandwich off a plate that was on a TV tray,but no one saw him, so no punishment.

I had a malemute that almost died from chicken bones... They come out like razor blades... Vet was inside up to his elbow cleaning him out... A bunch of anti-biotics and canned food cleared him up tho...

 

I had another Dob-shep mix that stole a packaged unopened strawberry-rubarb pie off a counter and didn't leave a crumb..
