Thanksgiving

I cooked a turkey for Thanksgiving, seems simple right? Not for me, no I like to complicate things whenever possible. I decide I am going to go with all the rage this year and cook the turkey breast side down, seems simple right? Flip it over into the foil pan cook. So the night before thanksgiving I am looking up a recipe and I notice I need a V shaped rack or something like that to cook the turkey on. I don't have a V shaped rack, so I call my mom (at 12:00 am her time) to ask her what I should do. She helps me improvise, so what did I end up with? A 17 lb turkey (that was the smallest turkey they had) balanced upside down precariously on my broiler rack which is then balance on top of my handi foil throw away roaster pan. I do have to say, it did work out, the turkey was moist and delicious, but I think I might just invest in the v shaped rack it would have made my life a lot easier. I also think I might just get to the store earlier so I don't have turkey for 20 with my family of 4.
