To add to my previous post, ,I don't do turkey or chicken; to me they both stink when cooking. My son makes deep fried turkey almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I don't do it either. Now on the other hand I can eat me some ham and, that's what I much prefer; although I do like my wife's cornbread dressing and cranberry sauce. As far as steak she and I both prefer Ribeye over any other cut, she likes hers Med. and I want Med. well.

Half turkey smoked for four hours on Apple and hickory wood. On point. Wife took other half and made turkey and dumplings, on point. Now I'm starving.

Last night my daughter made us some "pumpkin chili". It's made with bison and the pumpkin is used as a thickener. Bison is so low in fat that it just doesn't thicken as it cooks down. You can't taste the pumpkin per se but in concert it works wonders in this recipe.

My chili takes 3 days to make and this stuff takes only about a half an hour. and it blows my chili away. I may never make my chili again because this is the best I've ever tasted.

We use ground bison like we would ground beef; spaghetti sauce, chili-mac, etc. It just...better and better for you.

You should try Butterball brand Turkey Sausage. It's pretty tasty. You get two large links...sort of like Polish sausage. I was forced by medical issues into a low fat diet and began eating stuff like this. Adjusting was tough at first. Said problems are now gone, but I still maintain a healthier diet. It may taste strange at first, but it grows on you. I also began eating Hebrew National 97% fat-free beef franks...also a VERY acquired taste...but after a while you get so used to them that "regular" hot dogs are gooey and disgusting.

I also make Chili, about 4 times per week. Can't eat it hot yet (did I mention the results of the radiation?) but I can taste it, unlike many other foods. I used to use ground turkey before the cancer, but now use either Ground Chuck or make small cubes from various cuts of beef. I tried the ground turkey once since the radiation and it was really awful.

I still like turkey and made turkey wings in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.

I do all the cooking here, and my wife has never had to do it. I like to cook and have been doing it for myself since I was 15 (except when the Army took me under its gentle wing) and my doing it lets my wife relax when she gets home from work.

She seems to be tolerating the diet of Turkey, Steak and Chili pretty well, though I have caught her cheating with a pizza.

I actually prefer rare but it's not always easy to get the time right. A little too much and it's over done, slightly not enough and it's still blue raw.

Arik, get yourself a good — Thermapen, $100 — instant read thermometer. No more guesswork.
