Yes, m. It came with instructions. it was a cook from frozen Butterball but I thawed it for three days in the fridge. Maybe it shouda been four days. Maybe I shoulda removed the dressing. Maybe I should treat myself to a fresh turkey on sale even at twice the price. Besides, my dressing is far better and I don't HAVE to jam it in tight.

But, I think I am gonna give a thermometer a try. Can't see how i could be a better cook with one but I am open to new fangled gadgets.

Dani... do ya stick that there riggin in before ya put the meat in the oven?
