Mom: Man!! This bag just won't come out!
Me: Maybe it should have thawed out longer?
Mom: Yeah ............. grrrrrrrrrrr (pulling on gravy bag)
Me: How bout we run hot water inside and try to loosen the gravy bag?
Mom: Nah I don't want to do that!
Me: (silently watching my mother as she grunts and pulls and tugs on the gravy bag)
Mom: Let me try that hot water.
Me: (.........Moments after the hot water treatment has commenced) Ready to try again?
Mom: Let's try it.............. Nope it's not budging!!!
Me: You grab the turkey and I will pull the bag.
Mom: ( silently trying to get a grip on the slippery turkey ....... it's slipping, it's slipping , ooooh wait she has it!!)
Me: HOLD IT MOM HOLD IT!!! I GOT IT, COME ON PULL!!!
Mom: I AM!!!!
Me: COME ON MOM YANK IT !!! REALLY YANK IT!!
Mom: (silently musters all her strength and digs into that bird , clamping down hard)
Me: ( pulling on the gravy bag as if I were playing extreme tug of war)
Turkey: POP!!! (out comes the gravy bag)
Mom and I : ( tears of joy ,cry's of happiness, and whoops of victory)
Me: Who knew a turkey could give you this much of a workout!!!
The turkey smells delicious and is almost done cooking, and later today after consuming said turkey we will be in a sleepy turkey induced state of mind. Of course we asked my dad if he would be eating the turkey and he said " What! I don't want no Jerky Turkey".
