(as reference to OG's post from below)
Today XKCD's 'game' is based on a grid of 179x15 images, each of 513x513 pixel size...
Not all the grid slots are actually occupied by an image (that's where you got the red alert to go back and play!), but still amazing...
If you would create a single image it would be 91827x7695 pixel!!!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Well, Kornfeld, back in the day when Bill had taste-buds, he had a mean southern-style (southern USA, that is) recipe for turning a turkey corpse into a banquet for many.
Assuming you start with a frozen turkey:
0. remove the giblets first (look for the bag in the internal cavity), set aside in the refrigerator to defrost. note how you prepare the giblets is not described here; some people discard the giblets, but that's not the southern way: in the south they'd be turned into turkey gravy.
1. thaw turkey if frozen (how long will depend on weight of bird)
2. rinse with wate, flush internal body cavity, etc. pat dry with kitchen towels.
3. prepare about one quart of stuffing mix:
3.a. about three cups of corn-meal
3.b. one cup chopped celery
3.c. one large can water-chestnuts, chopped
3.d. one cup chives chopped
3.d. small amounts of cardamom, cinnamon ... to taste ... one teaspoon ground black pepper, one-half teaspoon salt
3.e. two tablespoons of baking powder
3.f. one-half cup chopped garlic
3.g. one teaspoon soy-sauce
3.h. one teaspoon vinegar
3.i. one tablespoon sesame oil
3.j. two cups of buttermilk
Melt half-stick of butter, add sesame oil, salt, black-pepper, vinegar, soy-sauce, bring to low heat,
Add garlic, chives, celery, stir and simmer for ten minutes
Combine with corn-meal, buttermilk, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, water-chestnuts in bowl
Pat dry the turkey internal cavity with kitchen-towels.
Mix, then insert into turkey internal cavity, wire the drumsticks together the usual way to seal in the stuffing.
Wrap the bird in heavy aluminum foil and put in oven pre-heated to 325F. After one hour, open and baste with your basting mixture (your choice, there;, down in the south that mixture might include a mix of honey and Jack Daniels whisky in which cloves have been sauteed, and a heap of melted butter).
Then raise temperature to 350F, and cook for two-to-four hours more (total cooking time will depend on weight of the turkey). Baste a second, or third time, depending on total cooking time.
See table here for cooking time guidelines: [^].
It is best that you check the internal temperature of the stuffing in the body cavity with a cooking thermometer of the probe type to make sure it reached at least 165F ... for food safety reasons.
Also, imho, best to let the cooked turkey sit for half-an-hour before serving.
cheers, Bill
p.s. of course without fresh whole-cranberries mixed with zest of lemon, or lime, or even some mint leaves, that turkey is going to be a bit less magical.
p.s.p.s. cardamom is not found, to my knowledge, in southern American cooking, but it's a personal favorite of mine. and, water-chestnuts are a non-traditional ingredient that would probably make hillbillies go get their shotguns.
p.s.p.s.p.s. northern Thailand is having a turkey drought because imports from the U.S. were halted because of turkey-flu. getting an imported turkey here, right now, would cost over US $12 per kilo at the current "inflated" rate. as for Thai turkeys: well, better just let them alone to pursue their scraggly, bedraggled, scrawny existence.

At long last, you're finally with the program.
I shall keep my tradition (as of tomorrow, it's a tradition) and make Eggrolls. As a concession to the season, I'll use Tofurkey Sausage as an ingredient.
