Haha, that sucks. My family has had numerous turkey problems over the year. And now that I think about it, they all were because of my sister, haha. And now that she moved out and wasn't here for this Thanksgiving, we didn't have a problem!
One year she dropped the turkey on the floor. One time she saw the oven was on, looked inside to see was was in it, somehow managed to miss the huge turkey in it, and turned off the oven, haha.
