Spent 45 minutes arguing about whether the turkey was done last Thanksgiving
My uncle insisted the turkey needed another hour because the pop-up timer hadn't gone off yet. I pulled out my meat thermometer and showed it was already at 165 in the breast. He said the thermometer was from China and couldn't be trusted. We stood there going back and forth while the gravy got cold. Has anyone else had a family member refuse to trust a digital thermometer over a plastic button?

Is it really that serious though? I mean it's just a turkey. If the guy wants to dry it out for another hour let him. You can always pour extra gravy on it or something. Sometimes you gotta pick your battles with family.

Is it really worth making a whole meal dry just to prove a point though? Dry turkey is miserable, man. That texture ruins the whole plate. Gravy can't fix leather.
