Turkey problem!!Someone PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE help me!!!!?

  • Can someone tell me what affect this will do to my turkey? I told my husband to cut up an orange and apple and put it in the turkey captivity. Well he wasnt listening and cut up an onion and a lemon I had sitting on the counter for something else!! The turkey has been in for about 20mins now and I finally realized what he had done. Is this going to ruin my turkey? Its my first turkey cooking for the entire family and I dont want it to be ruined!

Onion and lemon wont ruin your turkey. It will just give it a lemon and herb flavor. if there isn't a lot of sweet flavors on your bird, go with it and pull out the spice rack. do it up with pepper sea salt, a little celery, bell peppers and let it cook.

It will taste great, now go ahead and add the apple and orange. I use lemon, onion, apple, and oranges in my turkey every year.

Your turkey is fine. I always put onion in mine. You can take the lemon out or leave it in. Go ahead and add your other stuff or leave it out. I PROMISE your turkey will be fine. I have been cooking for 32 years. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Don't worry, it will come out delicious!! Your husband is quite talented...or lucky. You could add about half a stick of butter in the cavity right now if you wanted to, that'd be good too.

You should be ok, it'll just have a different taste than if you had used the fruits, but it'll still be good no worries :)

i watched emeril a few days ago, he stuffed a lot of chopped onion in his turkey, along with herbs. you can always add the orange & apple, 20 minutes are not long enough to ruin anything, i'd take the lemon out, though.

Lemon chicken is great!I think it will be better than if he used the apple.:)

It will be fine. Don't sweat it. Open the first bottle of wine a little early. Lemons and oranges are close enough. Most stuffings use onions anyway. As long as he didn't stuff it with old sweat socks or pink rubber erasers, it will be fine. 50 years from now, when you and your husband are old and grey, surrounded by strong, healthy, happy children and grandchildren, you'll look back and laugh about it.
