Our first Turkey

This year for Thanksgiving Ethan and I are in charge or cooking the turkey. Because it is our first turkey we decided to make it a little harder than just the bag and decided to do a "bucket turkey" just like my sister Carolyn.
Bucket turkey: a whole lot of spices, a whole lot of different juices, and put that together in a 5 gallon bucket and let the turkey marinate for 5 days and THEN stick it in a bag in the oven for like forever!!! We are so excited to taste this bird!!!
We bought our turkey last Wednesday, let it thaw until Saturday, made the marinade and now the turkey is sitting in a 5 gallon bucket in our fridge until Thursday. Good thing we have a small family and don't need as much food.
