November 10, 2015 By Darlene Hattox

I love this recipe for making a cheap turkey taste awesome. Its so simple and sounds great!

No one has the cash to buy a super-fancy turkey. Even if you’re wealthy–it seems like a total waste to shell-out tons of money for a turkey that may or may not taste like burnt charcoal. Those super-cheap turkeys (or is that turki?) seem like such a great deal. If you screw it up, it’s no big waste. But what if I told you that there’s a n0-fail way to cook a cheap turkey and it’ll taste like a million bucks every time? Super-duper excitement got you on the edge of your seat? What if I told you it would be easy to do, too? Now, you’re just falling on the floor with excitement, yeh? Heh. Here it is, the no-fail recipe for How to Make a Cheap Turkey Taste Amazing. And, to be honest with you, it’s the easiest turkey recipe ever. And kinda silly–which makes it fun. At the very least, the kid’s will think it’s hilarious.

  8. Remove turkey from the sack and garnish with slices of oranges, cranberries and fresh green stuff.
  9. Gloat over the awesomeness that is your turkey before your guests arrive (because it’d just be rude to do it when they were there, plus the dance you do–it’s just too much).
