Family Thanksgiving turkey story

[Tab]

At some point when I was younger, probably in the 60's, the family Thanksgiving was held at my aunt and uncle's house in upstate NY.

I don't think anyone was a cooking wizard back then, and there was probably ample wine being sampled to get in the holiday mood.

Never having really made a turkey before, they trussed it up, but trussed it up wicked tight. Like, air-tight.

Cooked it, pulled it out, stuck a knife in it, and it blew apart with pressurized bang, turkey chunks on the ceilings, walls, all over the kitchen.
