My mother did that one year - I was a kid - maybe 10 but I still
remember the fight my parents had about the turkey without any meat.
At the time, they were both very heavy drinkers. My mother always put
the turkey in the night before Thanksgiving - she obviously had a few
too many when she put it in the oven.
