Such a difficult decision....

I can't decide if I should put the turkey in now and let it cook over night or get up early in the morning and pop it in te oven.

I vote for the morning.

Once I cooked soup in the crock pot over night. I couldn't sleep it smelled so good. Now if I cook over night it's on the patio.

Happy Thanksgiving @chrystaltree

I'd set the alarm, pop it in and go back to bed.

How big is this turkey, I would never let anything cook while I was alseep

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Oh please don't do that, nothing should bake overnight without you sitting there.

Sleep is the best and tomorrow will be a new day and cook tomorrow....at the most a stuffed turkey would be 4-6 hours depending on the size.

The turkey needs attention, needs TLC, needs some basting, you can't do that sleeping.

Why does it take so long to cook. My turkey is 25 lbs. And it only takes 2 1/2 hrs. Maybe it's because I use a turkey bag.

Wow 2 1/2 hours doesn't seem near enough time for a 25lb. turkey! Did you insert a thermometer? We celebrated Thanksgiving last Saturday with our whole family. I had a 20 lb. stuffed fresh turkey and it took exactly 5 hours!

I thought the same thing too unless it's being cooked on the surface of the sun!
