Brine them, do two smaller ones, or larger if a big get together. One on oven high heat 500 degrees 20 minutes, then turn it over and ROAST BREAST SIDE DOWN, an old chefs secret (325 degrees). Gravity makes the juices flow through the breast meat before exiting into the roasting pan. Can be a stuffed bird.

A second bird can be DEEP FRIED in a turkey fryer or a restaurant fryer (best if using Peanut Oil) 3-3 1/2 minutes per pound.

Deep Fried Turkey was a Southern specialty that has gone national and it truly makes an outstandingly juicy and tasty bird. JUST MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR'RE DOING, and be SAFE, NEVER leave a frying pot alone, and keep away from the house for fire safety. A deep fried bird is something to be enjoyed ANY DAY of the year. You MUST EXPERIENCE a deep fried bird at least once in your life, some people will never go back to an oven cooked bird after experiencing it.

Have a great day today everyone.

Injected and fried really is the best way to do this.

Stuffed with sausage, cranberries, mushrooms, carrots, onions in the pepperage farm stuffing mix or any dry stuffing bread mix. Plus butter, egg for moisture and water. You can add chichen broth too. Once you try it you will wish you had made more. The cranberries are awesome too.

This is a family tradition we started many years ago.

I deep fry my bird. I start off the night before with 16 pound turkey and a brine. This year I put in:

1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Kosher Salt
2 tbl spoons Whole pepper corns
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tbl spoons cayenne pepper
1/4 Jim Beam

It will brine for around 16 hours, I will then take it out and dry it out. Then just pop it in the fryer for 30 minutes or so, and let set for another 30.

Brined and spatchcocked - I'm the turkey cooker so last year I decided to try spatchcocking (basically removing the backbone and breaking the breast bone so the bird is flat) - this made so much sense to me since all the meat is about the same thickness. An additional benefit is that it takes about half the cooking time and because of that, the breast meat does not dry out in the least. Also, there are no suspect "pink areas" around the second joint as in conventional roasting. This year I also brined our bird so it should be awesome! Always do the stuffing separately so nothing lost.

I put a porketta on a shallow pan, put it in the oven at 350° and give it about 35 minutes per pound. My wife does the turkey, and I don't care what happens to it, because I don't eat much of it, just enough to be polite..
