Haven't seen any turkey discussions yet |
|
Do how are you fixing your turkey this year? Turducken? Fried? Tofurkey? Corn flakes? Stuffing or dressing?

1. i'm not cooking one this year but when i do put granny smith apples, onions |
|
sage and celery in in the thanksgiving hole and all of those flavors permeate the meat, especially the sage. I roast it, use the tin foil tent for a little while and i never baste it.

If anyone is planning on deep-frying a turkey this year, first -
remove all your valuables and irreplaceable photos from your home, and second - make sure your homeowner's insurance is all paid up.

I've done mine the same way for the last 4 years. Smoke it for 3-4 hours over apple wood, then stuff it with oyster stuffing and finish it in the oven

8. I'm going to try brining this year. |
|
We've had really good luck with roasting in the 20year old pan we use. It's black and does a great job evenly roasting the meat.

9. I think you'll love the results. |
|
The first time I tried it about five years ago, I was like "why on EARTH haven't I been doing this all along?!"
I'm cooking one Saturday just for the hell of it--actually, just so we'll have leftovers (we're spending the holiday at my almost-in-laws, so no turkey at home). Brining, of course.

You can get the brining seasoning and bags at WS. It's soooo good.
