Here's how I'm cooking my turkey this year

Where do I find extra large rolling papers so I can smoke that turkey :turkey:?

"I was gonna roast the turkey until I got thigh
I was gonna get up and find the pan but then I got thigh
My food is still fully raw and I know why (why man?)

'Cause I got thigh
Because I got thigh
Because I got thigh"

With apologies to Afroman

This is the first I’ve heard of it. A week from now when I try to look it up again I expect I’ll misremember it as spackledick or something similar.

Just heard this on the radio. The deal is with $35 min purchase eh? Pretty easy to do with groceries.

I usually grab a turkey or ham after the holiday when the stores are trying desperately to get rid of overstock… (in addition to the one needed for the actual holiday).

Can confirm, it’s fresh out’a da oven. Moistly, tasty, and like about 7.5 lbs. of meat from a 15 lbs. of bird.

Turkey [5 layers] enchilada casserole w/ verde tomatillo sauce is back in the oven, turkey minestrone soup is souping along nicely, the rest of the meat is sliced and ready sangwiches, the remainder debris will be processed through the doggo over the next few weeks.

Happy Turkeying!

I see your spatchcock and raise you four hasselbacks.

You can hasselback turkey, but there’s not much benefit.

Or, and this may sound crazy, you could try a vegetarian meal for a change?

(I’m not that opposed to eating meat on occasion, and I think it’s good to consider it something special you do for particularly festive meals. I just don’t like how automatic it is to go Thanksgiving → whole turkey)

I may just have to try this with a chicken to see if it works at all.

What kind of cooking technique is the “zardu hasselfrau”?

I’ve heard of spatchcocking, but it’s hard for me to believe it produces a better product than the deep-fried turkeys I’ve been serving up these past few years. Juicy meat, crispy mahogany skin, and less than an hour cooking time. But hey, now that I have a convection oven, maybe I’ll try it with a chicken.

We jumped on the fried turkey band wagon years ago, the turkey was good but…

We realized a large outdoor fryer could fry other things besides a turkey.

We bought a commercial french fry cutter and we would have huge shared meals with the neighbor. Chicken wings, fries, onion rings, Oreos, and anything else that wasn’t nailed down.

That went on for a few summers. It was awesome.

I’ve never had an issue roasting the whole turkey. Last year I did a dry brine, stuffed it and it turned out well.
