The first time I did, was accidental. I used to start the turkey
upside down for 45 mins then turn it the right way up. On that
particular Christmas morning my son was making ginslings. Large ones.
Because of gin I completely forgot to turn the turkey right side up; and
by the time it was cooked I was too far gone to recognise its upside
down anatomy and had to call my vet son to help. I haven't lived it down
yet, but it was the best turkey I'd ever cooked and I always do it that
way now.
