The name of this message should be COOKING, not COKKING.
I have some gravy in the keyboard.

1. Cooking a turkey in a plastic bag has never appealed to me.  I did it once
and found it hard to handle, with no noticible improvÿement in juiciness.
   We are lucky enough to live near a turkey farm, and the biggest difference
in turkeys is fresh vs. frozen in my opinion.  I will never buy a frozen bird
again.
   Some turkeys advertised as fresh can legally be frozen for several months,
so look for one that is "Farm Fresh," which has NEVER been frozen.  It's
worth looking around for a farm.  Call the county extension service for help.
2. A lot of my friends like to cook their birds upside down, but I find that
ruins the appearance of the bird.  It is just as tender & juicy of you baste
it every half hour or hour.

As far as time per pound, any cookbook will tell you... but you have to keep
checking it because I've known time formulas to be off by as much as an hour,
depending on the bird.  Good luck, & happy T-Day!
