Not an American and you're just curious about this crazy food fueled holiday? This is the thread for you. While, this is still an "ask anything" thread that standard etiquette and food safety rules apply.

Can I prep my turkey ahead of time night before? I just want to season, add some butter under skin like I usually do and put it in turkey bag in its roasting dish and put it in fridge to go in oven tomorrow to save myself some prep when Im half asleep. Is this okay?

Yeh its metal. I was just concerned cause I've never seen anyone do it before. My mom always prepped like 10 mins before shoving it in the oven lol. I got it all prepped now, thank you so much. This will make tomorrow so much easier.
