No, using a bag can actually be more troublesome than not. You don't achieve a golden brown skin on the bird in the bag, and often times, the bottom of the turkey is soggy. Also, no one wants to pull the turkey out of the oven, in front of all of the guests, in a bag! There is absolutely no graceful way to remove the turkey from the bag, and great grandma would be ashamed! On a side note, I don't like cooking with plastic in the oven, to me, it's like styrofoam in the microwave.
You should not eat the plastic. With a large bird like a turkey you should be able to cut away the outer layer of skin and meat and so be sure to discard the bag completely.
No, the gravy bag and the giblet bag are not the same in a Jennie-O turkey. The giblet bag typically contains the turkey's heart, liver, and gizzard, while the gravy bag includes gravy that can be used as a sauce for the cooked turkey. Both bags are usually found inside the turkey cavity, but they serve different purposes.

Generally, the cooking time may be reduced by about 30 minutes compared to traditional roasting methods, but it's essential to use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches the recommended internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
