Turkey?

[Green1000S]

For me, it's smoked.
How about your turkey???

[old head]

I used to fry in peanut oil, buy now I use the dry fryer.

Less mess, still juicy, takes a little longer, but no oil to buy or dispose of.

besides the wife has developed a peanut allergy.

Chinese food.

Brined, then baked, being careful not to go over about 165F so it doesn't get dry.

Ate turkey boiled in peanut oil a few years ago................ tasted like peanuts.     Chef swore it was the best kind.

Apple smoked over a water pan in the Big Green Egg. The drippings made a nice smoky giblet gravy

That's where I was and whether the Russians were about to annex them on the back of the Turks shooting down a Russian bomber earlier this week

I was a big fan of deep frying until I tried Alton Brown's brine. I will never willingly fry another turkey.

  Has anyone thought about how the turkey feels about all this?

I don't think ours was feeling much.

Over here if you get one of the wild turkeys, you'll need to stew it with green papayas.  The enzymes will tenderize the meat.

Cooked by my mom and consumed halfway through a six pack of hefeweizen.

Over here if you get one of the wild turkeys, you'll need to stew it with green papayas.  The enzymes will tenderize the meat.   

 Or you can have a francolin which is much smaller relative. Both turkeys and francolins belong to a group of birds that includes pheasants and partridges and grouse.
 Francolines are frequently seen about the sides of roads and are easily caught or killed for food.  You have to know whare to look for turkeys as they are not so numerous.  Francolins are the size of a small pheasant and tasty when steamed
 tender.  I suppose a turkey could be tender if you had a big enough steamer or pressure cooker, otherwise do it as Tom says.   If you know how to tenderize a tough stringy bird, they are pretty good eats but don't expect them to be like a domestic turkey Which has been bred to be tender and has not had to forage for itself to live.
 When I lived in the mountains, I ate a lot of grouse.  Like the above, they are tough and stringy unless you steam them.
 I would float the breasts and legs on top of stew slow cooked in a cast iron dutch oven.

 Around here if you want francolin, get to be a good shot with a sling shot and keep it with you as you ride or drive the mountain roads.  Or a pellet gun.

Filipinos would use the green papayas to stew w/the losers from the "cock fights".  If your bird lost, at least you'd have dinner.

I'm doing my part.  I'm an omnivore.   

[Sasquatch Jim]

  So how do the omnis feel about that?

[MGPilot]

Although I recognize the value, my annoyance is the two solid days of baking turkeys After Thanksgiving, as we cook 2-3 turkeys after they've gone on sale & freeze the meat for later.

[Tom]

  So how do the omnis feel about that?

They do just fine and eat everything too although I'm not sure about some of the Filipino omnis.  They eat some bizarre stuff.

[Sasquatch Jim]

 Filipenos also invented chicken adobe.  They put a live chicken in a bag and beat it with a stick until every bone is broken into pieces none bigger than a quarter inch.  This is then cooked into a muddy stew like substance and fed to the American Coast Guard on Sand Island.  I always ate at the club on those days.

[Tom]

I hear that's the way to tenderize a dog.  Bats are used instead of sticks.  More flavor in the meat.

I was going to say, I wonder how Putin "smokes" his Turkey.
