I'm not usually the one who prepares the turkey but the one who "helps". Usually a turkey has a bag inside containing the neck, giblets, etc.
This year I bought a turkey (fresh not frozen). It did not have the pouch but instead needed to have the different parts (heart, liver, etc.) cut out from the bird and also had part of the neck still attached.
I was stunned by this. I'm wondering if the past turkeys were frozen and it was like this because it was a fresh turkey? Any turkey experts out there? I sure don't want to ever deal with this again.
