The operation is a success!

Yes, I managed to stuff 3kg+ of stuffing into a 6.4kg bird, as thankfully (for some unknown reason) they didn't totally mutilate it as is normally done here, and left the neck/crop skin, the skin at the other end, AND the wing tips!

Far too often I have to dislocate various joints so that I can close it up, even less stuffed, but today was a breeze.

Thank you, Migros Zumikon!

Hope after all that, it fits in the oven

Well, in this particular oven, I have fit 10kg+ in the past, so no problem.

In my own (slightly larger), I've cooked a 14kg turkey!

Wing tips? This bird is wearing shoes? Awesome.

My mother would get up at the crack of dawn to put hers in the oven on Christmas day, but isn't almost two weeks early a little premature??

Ah, I guess you have one of those large plastic, brown in the bag affairs
