The easiest turkey 4 christmas dinner with the least work? i cant cook. whats the best & easiest store bought?

Question

I am making christmas dinner for about 6 adults, I am okay at cooking but not good when it comes to removing or putting things into a fresh turkey. Im hoping to find a store bought turkey that i can basically just put into the oven either from frozen or from thawed without having to fuss with much.
What is the best store bought turkey i can get to make this dinner as painless as possible to make? :)
And if you know the approximate price, how much it would be.

Thanks!

Safeway has a great 2 hour turkey that I used last year. It comes in a kit and it is super easy.

Buy a Turducken if you want to impress your guests..... and if money is no object. They cost about $5 - $10 a pound, but are worth it I'm told.



Turkeys are easy to cook. You have to decide whether you want to bother with stuffing or not. Me... I think turkeys were invented in order to make stuffing.



It has never made any difference at all which brand I have bought. But I find that if it is a frozen turkey, they all LIE about how to thaw them. They tell you to keep in a refrigerator for 3 days to let it thaw gradually.... well, hun... after 3 days it will be as hard as a rock in a fridge. I recommend a week or longer for refrigerator freezing, but by now, you'll need to take more aggressive action.



Now, for the truly non-gifted cook, you could always go to the grocery store and buy turkey TV dinners, heat them up and then scrape them into serving bowls.... cheating like crazy and it won't taste all that good, but easy easy easy.



I'm fussy when it comes to Thanksgiving and cook all my pies from scratch, as well as the rolls, stuffing, and everything else. The end result is well worth it to me, but that's me.



Good luck.

Hey there,



I got a turkey crown from morrisons and put it in a turkey bag and left that cook for a while if you ask at the meet counter they will tell you timings... Also i got some prepared potatoes - potato gratan, pigs in blankets, and microwave fresh veg. easy suffing cranburry and chestnut also available from morrisons.



I would say you can do dinner for £25-30 not including started or pudding!! but you could pick something up easy - we do melon for starter - you can have this done in advance and it doesnt use your oven.

I saw a commercial for Jenny-O Turkey Store. I actually don't know if it is a real store but you can see if the turkey products are in your nearest Supermarket. They have bagged whole turkey and sliced turkey.
