Who's cooking bird this week?
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?

Most important for me, is the very first thing I do is rip that piece of shit plastic thermometer out of the bird and use a probe thermometer. Be careful of temps and take it out at least 10 degrees, usually 15, before it's done. Carryover will take care of the rest.
Sounds tasty. I'm using an in-oven thermometer this year for the first time. Any experience with them?

Looks real edible.
I notice the recipe you linked calls for the thermometer to be inserted into the thickest part of the breast, everything else I've seen says the thermo goes in the thigh.
Where do you all place your thermometer?

They make them wireless. the one I got from Amazon yesterday has a small wire attached to the probe on one end that comes out the side of the oven into the base, which attaches magnetically to the oven or can sit on the counter. If you have a wireless new in the box it might be fun to see how it works?

In theory it keeps you from opening the oven door and letting heat out. We'll see what happens. A couple hours and whiskey/waters into it I may pull the probe out and say something stupid to my wife about it.

Not sure what you mean by "in oven"? As in, you put the probe in the turkey and then trail the wire out? Yeah, I use those all the time. Love 'em.

Another tip: I don't ever cook the bird with stuffing in it. I always make some real turkey stock before Thanksgiving and use that to wet the bread cubes. Then, something I just learned, use the trimmed turkey fat from the neck - put it on top of the stuffing when it goes in the oven. The skin will render and you'll get that extra punch in the dressing, plus you'll have some more crispy turkey skin for the chef.

Exactly. Been hearing they are the way to go so I had the Amazon machine send one to me.
Where do you place the probe: breast or thigh?

i'm thinking an uncle gave it to me when we were building our house. we were living in a garage/shed we'd built into an apartment so we could be right on the property while we were building. had a microwave, but no stove, so i pretty much cooked supper every night out on the grill. i guess his thinking was, i could tell when shit gets done instead of going outside in the snow and opening up the grill.

i just never really thought it was any handier than just stepping outside to check stuff. place was pretty small.

Update: Fired wife fired me from turkey duty, but thanks for all the tips.

Do you guys do the "500F for 30 minutes" in order to sear the bird, or not?

I hear you. Plus there is something to be said for standing next to fire in the snow. At least for those of us who don't get to do it often.
the thing might be handy for turkey cooking though.
