Do you have any Thanksgiving mishap stories?

Beth Caldwell: Yeah. It was my first Thanksgiving to be the cook, and I cooked the turkey with the innards still innard.

Ginnie Carey: We went to a friend’s house years ago, and when she put the turkey in the oven, she had it set at 250 degrees or something. And she kept saying, “It will be done soon.” It was hours before anyone realized the problem.

Tracy and Van Heim: We tried to fry a frozen turkey last year. Oil and frozen turkey don’t mix well.

Cara Fedak: When I first cooked a turkey, when I first got married, I cooked the turkey with all the paper and things inside.

Joshua Theaman: Just a crazy ride to the airport.

Sandra Nobel: Two years ago I put the turkey in the oven, and the oven kept turning off. I became so frightened I would not be able to cook the Thanksgiving meal for 22 people.
