Food and Drink Who's cooking bird this week?

Groves · 11-21-2011, 12:38 PM

It's been many years since we've done turkey for Thanksgiving. Think I'm gonna give it a shot.

Gotta choose between my grill and a convection oven.

Anyone else cooking bird this week?

Not to derail the thread, but when I read, "cooking bird," it reminded me of the Dances With Wolves character "Kicking Bird."

That made me think of what certain CP'ers Indigenous Person names would be.

Yes, I am cooking mine in the oven with a nice stock base of Samuel Adams black lager, Worcestershire sauce, water, turkey neck and liver, carrots, yellow onion, celery, parsley, coarse black pepper, cayenne, ground thyme, English mustard powder, sea salt, and oregano flakes. That will make a nice gravy for the taters to go along with red cabbage, a salad, and a German white wine called spatlese. Mm, hmm.

I am deep frying mine!

Donger, any thread that can be derailed wasn't good enough anyway.

I'm decided to go with the 24hr brine and then the convection oven.

Yup, for the first time in several years. Usually go to the Oki relatives for Thanksgiving but this year we’re staying home and having the in-laws over.

I'm cooking my turkey in a George Foreman grill to get the outside done, then a microwave to get in inside done. Or the other way around, haven't decided yet. Still don't have a foreman big enough to fit an entire turkey. I might have to cut the head and wings off first this year. Maybe even the feathers.

Skipping the bird altogether this year. We're doing a rib roast. May even splurge at Costco and pick a "prime" cut.

Think I'm going to make chili then go watch my daughter pom at the Thanksgiving basketball tourney. Haven't done a traditional Thanksgiving in 7 years... since I got divorced. No this isn't whoa is me lol... I enjoy my non-being-forced-to-hang-out-with-people-I-don't-want-to-hang-out-with holidays. Sleep in, watch some football or movies, make a pot of whatever I want, nap if I want, go to the basketball tourney. I call it a good day.
