I've no idea, just responding to another poster.

It would definitely be a bacony tasting gravy. But in terms of all that fat, you would still use the same amount of drippings for gravy.

I'd peel the bacon off and have a BLT while I wait for dinner.

If they jack up the price I'm not paying it.

Duck or chicken comes to mind.
Cornish hens are nice (1/2 per person if you have a bunch of side dishes) unless you have more than a dozen people and you want to serve them whole.

And, I want to urge everyone to brine your turkey. Many markets now sell brining kits and very large ziplock-type bags for this purpose, and I can tell you that it makes a huge difference. If you brine your turkey overnight with salt, sugar, and herbs, it will be much more moist and more flavorful when you finish roasting it.

I believe you, and I know many people do this, but I have never had a complaint about the turkey, and I just roast it, without a bunch of advance preparations. Who needs a bunch of brining, herbing, bagging or anything, when there is so much work involved anyway?

Oh Jesus Lord. What is the thought process you are using?
You remind me of my former DIL. She was making turkey for the first time. Her mother told her to drain off all the pan drippings, then make gravy with butter, flour and water. Thank God I was there to stop her.
