To the FMB OP question, The Mrs. and daughters haven't included me in all the discussions, but this much I know since a lot of it will be up to me.

A traditional baked turkey, a smoked turkey, baked ham and smoked ribs.

Sweet taters, smashed white potatoes, fresh green beens, fresh brussel sprouts, fresh asparagus, corn casserole, dressing, giblet gravy, 5 cub salad, Pumpkin, Apple and Pecan pies.

wow, that's a load of meat!:thumb:

Definitely don't stuff it, you'll want as much heat contact on the inside as you can get. And I would think low and slow would be the key, but I really don't have any idea how to attack a bird that big.

Good luck!

I do big birds most years. They cook faster when brined. I don't stuff 'em but I do put aromatics in there.
Cook 'em breast side down for the first hour, then turn 'em over and baste with stock every 45 minutes or so. Foil tent when the skin is browned. Take out when it hits 165 and let it settle under foil before cutting.
Damn now I'm hungry.

Thanks, that sounds really good.

What are you brining that big boy in, a cooler? I got a 5 gallon food grade plastic bucket I use for brining, this turkey has it pushed to the limit with the brine. I like the visual of colossal turkey on the table.

:D Yeah, everyone can pick and choose as they want, plus it makes great leftovers for the four days. The girls can take some home, plus I usually run a rack of ribs to several of the neighbors.

You sound like you are going to have quite a spread as well.

Side Tables? ROFL
Is that for the overflow food or additional seating?

Let's see....

My MIL's crappy mashed potatoes

And endless heapings of abuse from my FIL, who is a Syracuse alum.
