Until my brother in law cooked a Turkey, I shared that opinion. After the last three years, total 180 on that. It’s unbelievable 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We had ours over on Wednesday. As everybody came on over with some having to work. But my nephew and his wife did not feel good or he did not over frequent migraines. New normal but better than nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Had a smoked turkey for the first time ever over at my BF's families house. My. God. Where have you been all my life? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you been all my life? I feel this way about deep fried turkey. Good lord. This year we actually deep fried it without putting it in oil. Almost airfried really. It was FANTASTIC. Turkey in the oven is such a dated concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 So I've got a ton of leftover turkey. Barely made a dent in that bird, so I made a turkey and sausage gumbo yesterday - turkey, sausage, onion, okra, pre-made roux, cauliflower rice, threw in some hot sauce I got from a Nashville hot chicken place... It was arguably the best single item I've ever made, we mixed it with cornbread stuffing - it was orgasmic, absolutely incredible. I air fried the turkey and sausage with olive oil and a steakhouse seasoning, which re-crisped it - game-changer, absolute game-changer. Next up - turkey and bacon carbonara, paired with angel hair pasta. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like...the flavor, the tenderness...it was amazing. A good smoker definitely moved up my wishlist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to deep fry my bird, but my wife was worried to the point of having a panic attack at the thought of burning my house down. An air fry would alleviate that.

I don't even know that it's about the cooking. Turkey just isn't the best. But it's still good. For me, it's just the association with certain holidays that makes it worth it. Even if it is cooked poorly. I spend most of the year, generally avoiding Turkey anything. So it feels kinda "special" when the holidays hit. Worst case...it's dry, so just drown it in gravy and power through, lubricated with much wine. It's just...the flavour of the season.

Shanedorf Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Yes, I know "we" don't bump old threads, but I'm hoping for some leeway on the T-Day Holiday that is approaching faster than you imagine...Scroll back and there are some decent recipes in here When was the first ever Thanksgiving NFL game played? In 1934, the NFL played its first Thanksgiving game. The Detroit Lions would welcome the Chicago Bears to a feast on Thanksgiving on November 29, 1934, and have been a tradition ever since. How long have the Lions been playing on Thanksgiving? Richards negotiated an agreement with NBC to broadcast his Thanksgiving games on 94 stations across the country. Since 1978, the Lions and Cowboys have hosted a game on Thanksgiving every year. ( 43 years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Doing Thanksgiving a bit differently this year. Wife and I will stay at a hotel where they're doing an all you can eat American Thanksgiving-themed buffet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
