Turkey and Stuff

ok u guys, i'm really excited about my new purchase! i was out running errands and shopping this weekend when i found this really cute and useful gravy boat! it rests on a stand that holds a candle to keep the gravy warm! How neat is that?! so i'm really super excited to be using this at Thanksgiving dinner next week! :D

also BTW what's your favorite way to cook a turkey? we are going to try a cajun turkey this year with southern sides. i like to oven roast the turkey. whattabout you?

:)

Very slick gravy boat. Never cared much for cold gravy.

I don't think I ever met a cooked turkey that I didn't like.

I love it brined and deep fried but usually for Thanksgiving it's roasted.

I built this slick machine this summer to satisfy my hunger for real BBQ...so the answer for me is absolutely smoked. :)

that's so awesome! BTW how long does it take to smoke a bird? and this is indirect heat? i wanna try that someday.

Somewhere between 8-14 hours at 225f typically, depending on the bird size. You should!....and always brine even if your bird comes pre-brined. Makes a huge difference.

Hopefully this works ... phone keeps flipping the orientation around on me!

I am oven roasting a turkey this year. I like that cute gravy boat by the way.

up here in Canada we do our thanksgiving during your American Columbus day. Meanwhile I cook at least one turkey a month from October till march. I do a salt and sugar brine for 72 hours then oven roast for 14 hours at 225°f. it then gets turned into soup, stew and pot pies.

In the oven wrapped in bacon.

2 best turkeys I ever had were 1. Brined and roasted and 2. Deep fried. The fried one was very juicy and moist... I hate dry turkey.

I'm seriously considering purchasing a turkey after thanksgiving to attempt to cook (when they're on sale). I've never cooked turkey myself, but don't want to screw up the meat for a big occasion.

Agreed! I enjoy mine off my Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker.

That said, I'm not a big fan of turkey in general. Thanksgiving (and the days following) is the only time I really eat it unless it's ground up.

oooooohhhhhh why wasn't this multiple choice/select????????

i would love to try grilled turkey! that sounds amazing. i think my family usually does smoked and then oven baked. i've never cooked a turkey myself, mind you, and honestly it kind of intimidates me. maybe when the bff and i move into a bigger place.
