Finally, after two months of waiting....

[Nevada Ed]

I finally ran across a listing at the local Smith's for a

WHOLE TRUKEY !!

Where are they keeping those and the Ham's, any way !!

I bought two 13 pounders, one for the freezer and one for the Smoker,
when it finally thaws out, in 2-3 days.

Now to get the gravy fixns and some Ocean Spry, and I will be set for a long awaited, meal.

They were going for .99 a lb.

double turkeys has become a Thanksgiving tradition for us.. one roasted, one smoked... now I am hungry for stuffing...

 

[MetalMan]

We typically order fresh turkeys for Thanksgiving and ham for Christmas.

Waiting for the local deals to arrive her in central Ohio.

We have whole turkeys running around all over the place. And they're free. Kind of.

 

[lihpster]

It's just gonna be me this year. I guess I'll get a frozen turkey TV dinner. Do they make a prime rib one for Christmas?

 

[MSgt G]

I like to brine or inject mine before putting it on the smoker. The difficult part for me is to find one that already doesn't have a solution of some sort already in it.

OK-I'll say it. Turkey ain't my favorite fowl. There. I said it. Rather have a couple of stuffed boneless chickens as the main course. The sides can stay-except oyster dressing-terrible waste of good oysters and good cornbread dressing.
And since I'm confessing-I like sweet potato pie with ice cream on top. Keep the pumpkin pie. And cranberry sauce is GOOD just as it comes out of the can.

The problem with roasting a whole Turkey is that edible meat remaining after cooking is less than half the weight of the uncooked bird. Most is water, fat, and bones.

In the distant pass we had a turkey and a spiral cut ham at Thanksgiving and at Christmas.
Now I am alone its a frozen TV turkey dinner

 

[robvious]

I did our turkey last year using the Sous Vide method.

Cooked it to our liking and it never loses moisture.

Once removed from the Sous Vide cooking apparatus I put it in the oven at 375 deg. F for 20 minutes to crisp up the outer skin.

Loved it.

Disgusting abominations! If you mention turkey burgers I'm getting the duct tape. Again.

Boiled turkey in a plastic bag: sounds delicious. Add a boiled steak on the side.

I prefer it American-style: Roasted with plenty of drippings.

I've been buying these for the past 5 yrs. Everybody loves it. No waste. Cooks from frozen or defrosted.

The next time you need a turkey just come on over to my house and pick yourself a ripe one.

I did that during the first year of the pandemic when we were all supposed to stay home and avoid public gatherings. I baked a similar type of turkey for myself and it was pretty good.
