...here's another twist for ya...

Let yer fingers work some magic and open up a cavity between the skin and the breast. Insert crushed garlic cloves and rosemary, and a bit of butter or some chopped up bacon pieces - maybe the 2nd best breast you'll have ;)

Breast down works to keep it juicy but then the problem is getting the crispy skin. In the oven it's a flip abou 1/2 hour before it's done. On the 'Q?... no problem.

So I take it that Thursday is not a big jumping day? It's just a workday here...[:/]

Here's the typical menu for the Thanksgiving feast with our family.

Appetizers:
~Hot artichoke dip and chips
~Veggie, cheese and cracker (edam, gouda, brie, string cheese for the kids) platter
~Prosicutto and Bacon wrapped Asparagas

Main:
~Big turkey, white wine in the pan, garlic, butter and salt under the skin, breast down roasted.
~Sausage and homemade bread stuffing
~Cream Pan gravy
~Mashed potatos (my special recipe...and yes, there is a secret)
~Baked veggies
~Potato rolls
~Cranberry and Rum relish
~Sweet Potatos in Brown Sugar Crust
~Green salad with gorgonzola and walnuts w/ a vinegarette dressing
~3-4 bottles of good wine.

Dessert:
~Pies. Apple, pumpkin, pecan w/ French vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream
~Gourmet fresh ground coffee with hazelnuts and pumpkin pie spice.
~Fruit and cheese again

Then we sleep.

Ciels-

I deepfry my Turkey..southern tradition!;) But b4 I do, I inject him with a cajun spice marinade and rub the outside with Tony Chacheres seasoning and it makes for a tender bird and cool swirls when you cut into it later.
MMMMMmmmmm!B|:P

I cut a small cone out of the top of an orange, halve and onion, and shove them both up the ass of the turkey. Then I stuff the ass closed with celery. Rub the turkey down with oil, add spices, then shove it into a bag and bake the sucker. Quite tender.

Me? I cook it over indirect heat in a good old-fashioned Weber charcoal bbq grill.. I get a nice golden moist turkey every time.. In my stuffing, I use bits of apple, walnuts and the giblets.. Side dishes are usually cranberry sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, a green bean casserole and some sweet potatoes..

What are you all having on Thursday as the Dolphins beat the Cowboys? :S




Absolutely!

Sloooooooooow cooking, over indirect heat, makes the best turkey you'll ever eat. :P:P:P Delicious!

And, by the way: Happy Thanksgiving to all!

;)

Just for laughs - don't worry, the Holiday Turkey is already here (TOMATOMETER), and is clucking away in theaters everywhere.

This turkey gets cooked but good in a truly searing review - read it here!

Well, Mr. Chop. I hope it turns out well for you. If not, I'll owe you a case of beer, how about that?



Okay.. one turkey is a small price to pay for an excuse to go to Elsinore AND a case of beer ;)

At least you get to use kitchen utensils. When I ask, it's always "Can you bring two cans of cranberry sauce ?" :)
How was I supposed to know it had to be refridgerated ??? It didn't say anything on the can...

Mine is sort of like Lawrocket's.

Same type of apple juice/salt brine, but with the addition of fresh ginger, garlic, cloves, a pound of brown sugar and some quartered oranges.

After that, the bird will be stuffed with oranges spiked with cloves, fresh sage, and an onion.

I'm still debating about the outside. I'm thinking some sage, granulated orange peel, bourbon and jellied cranberry sauce made into a glaze.

How to cook it?

Rotisserie cook it on the grill.
