               IJMC - The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven

I hope no one has an experience like this. But if you do, and you need a 
replacement turkey...or if you just wanna try something new...check out 
the Turducken recipe (along with a few places to buy them already made):
        http://www.gumbopages.com/food/poultry/turducken.html
So what is a turducken, you ask? It's a boneless turkey...which is stuffed 
with a boneless duck...which is stuffed with a boneless chicken...which 
is stuffed with oyster dressing...not to mention the andouille dressing 
between the chicken and the duck and the cornbread dressing between the 
duck and the turkey. Feeling adventurous? Let me know how your turducken 
turns out! Happy Turkey Day everyone!                                -dave

"The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven"
by Jack Prelutsky

  The turkey shot out of the oven
  And rocketed into the air,
  It knocked every plate off the table
  And partly demolished a chair.

  It ricocheted into a corner
  And burst with a deafening boom,
  Then splattered all over the kitchen,
  Completely obscuring the room.

  It stuck to the walls and the windows,
  It totally coated the floor,
  There was turkey attached to the ceiling,
  Where there'd never been turkey before.

  It blanketed every appliance,
  It smeared every saucer and bowl.
  There wasn't a way I could stop it,
  That turkey was out of control.

  I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure
  And thought with chagrin as I mopped,
  That I'd never again stuff a turkey
  With popcorn that hadn't been popped.
