It's time to talk TURKEY!

[pbradt]

Mine goes in the smoker at 0700, for a 1400 meal. Oyster stuffing, cranberry sauce, yams, and green bean casserole.

Two buck Chuck Chardonnay for the vino. Who else is barbecuing the bird?

Hint - barbecue it with the breast meat DOWN.

You had me until the two buck chuck, although I do use it for cooking.

Two buch chuck chadonnay is drinkable. It's not Edna Valley but in this economy, economy means something.

I tried the 2 1/2 buck Chuck cab the other day. It went down the drain.
I'm master of the 7 buck bottle of wine, so I'm no snob, but that stuff was un-drinkable.

i'm breaking the bird down into pieces. Going to roast the breast old school because Mom is a traditionalist and I'm going to smoke the rest-dark meat rules.

[pbradt]

Sounds good. I'm smoking the whole bird.

I ALWAYS do my turkey on the bbq grill -- it's gas, but use LOTS of hickory chunks along the way. Be sure to brine that sucker first for MAXIMUM moistness and flavor...

I'm loading the family up and driving to my parents. My father and I are going to do the usual and fry a turkey this year.

[big mike]

I bake it old school per my grandmother's instructions. As long as she's still with us, I'll do it. (My damn sister told Mom I do it better than her one year, and i've been stuck since).

Stuffing...breadcrumbs (I blend up wonder) w/Parmesean, itailan sausage (browned and drained) mushrooms..etc...

Bird is slathered in butter and powdered in flour, and baked. Basted every time a commercial comes on in the Lion's game.

Sounds like BevMo is having their holiday sale! :stir

I'll be doing the bird in my Big Green Egg. Best smoker/grill I've ever had. :banana

[claudel]

Last time I took the trouble to cook one at home I used this recipe

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html

and it turned out great. Nice & juicy, even the leftovers didn't dry out.

This year it's gonna be a buffet. Not sure which one yet.

[homerayvaughan]

Grilling mine - gas. I need a smoker. Just using a smoker box, but no stuffing, I find it acts as a sponge and dries the bird out too much.

[Tonekat]

It's just me and the ex's cats for T-day, so it's turkey cutlets for me, breaded and fried.

[fsmith]

I'm doing mine on the Big Green Egg. V-rack, breast down. Making gravy from the drippings. My family raves about the gravy made from a bird done on the grill.

Mystery Pecan pies on Wednesday night... mmm...

I got to meet the inventor of the Big Green Egg one time. He came into my shop looking for something once. He was pretty cool.

[jay66]

Just put mine in the smoker with some hickery chunks. Going to smoke it about an hour and 1/2 then finish it up in the oven. Is 8:00 AM too early for a beer?
