On Thanksgiving my family always goes to my aunt's house to eat turkey and stuff but her turkey is always half-ccoked and everybody is too scared of her to tell her that she can't cook to save her life. What should I do?

Don't tell her to begin with. Suggest to her of keeping the Turkey much longer in the cooker or oven. Illustrate from your own experiences, a turkey cooked at your friend's house taste much more tender and sweet than a half done Turkey, how's that? If she will not listen to that bring one that is well cooked and share the meat and ask for her opinion about the taste between what she has with her turkey and, the one you brought to her. If she refuses that too, you better eat out in a restuarant and perhaps, that would suggest her that there must be something wrong with her turkey.

Offer to bring the turkey this year. If you eat under done turkey you could get very sick so either tell her in advance, have the dinner at your house, or bring the turkey.
Why on earth would you put yourselves in that position? If she can't cook, don't have dinner there. Tell her it is time for someone else to do the hard work of making the dinner.

Well, you may not like my suggestion, but it all depends on your willingness to take one for the team. If I were you, I'd call up the aunt in question and tell her you're really anticipating the family thanksgiving this year, (not a lie, she'll just assume you mean it positively =P) and since she always does all the work you'd like to show your appreciation by coming early and helping. This is also not a lie because you do appreciate it, you just want to help make it tolerable. Good Luck and I hope you have a awesome thanksgiving!! p.s. just don't let her see your cheat sheet recipe cards hanging out of your pocket!! lol

Somebody needs to either go to the aunts house and help cook the meal (so the turkey gets cooked properly) ,
or have the guts to tell her about the half cooked bird as she
subjecting you all to food poisoning if you are actually eating this uncooked turkey ...

smile, eat the turkey (although it sucks) and thank her for it. Appreciate it coz when she isn't around anymore, you gonna miss having half-cooked turkey on thanksgiving, i promise you that.

going to her house it will be tough lol but my sister is the same way she cant even cook canned baked beans i swear lol she puts mustard and ketchup and bbq sauce in them they are awful anyway the way we solve it is when she asks what to bring i always say pop or chips or rolls or plates ect something she doesnt have to cook but going to her house i guess i would go early and help her cook everything

call ahead and offer to bring the turkey this year, get others involved by bringing foods too...spread the tasks so more are involved...
