> Crispy skin is paramount when I cook a turkey. Around 20 years ago, we had my in-laws come over for dinner and I made a turkey. Back then, I was trying all kinds of ways to cook a turkey. The turkey was out of the oven and I was tending to some other business. When I got back into the kitchen, my mother-in-law had stripped the turkey of all its wonderful crispy skin. That was shocking! It does, however, make for a rather amusing tale to tell some 20 years later. I was always careful to never leave my mother-in-law alone with a whole turkey after that.

That's funny. My husband and I do to our turkey exactly what your MIL
did to yours. But the turkey is ours to do with what we please.
