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.

2. MrsCoffee crams citrus in the turkey hole...lemons, oranges, limes

man does it make for a juicy, tasty bird.

5. PSA:

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.

6. Fried at 340, 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Brined for 24 hours first.

7. Smoked Turkey

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.

10. Brining is awesome...

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

11. I brine it, then put it in my Nesco roaster

It literally is falling off the bone - so moist and delicious!
