I remember cooking my first xmas dinner, having been married a couple of years by then and watching my Mum.
What a disaster, after moaning there were no giblets to make gravy with, I ended up with a turkey with burnt giblets and fully melted plastic in the cavity!!!
I have done that.. the bird was cooked correctly... just the slight forgetfulness of putting my hand oop its bum and pulling out it's innards for soup to be made later.
