Oven roasted, but it's brined... from now on anyway. I brined a turkey over the weekend to test it out and it's amazing!

Doin' the traditonal this year, although I'd like to try a fried turkey next year (maybe XMas).

What's the Southern Low Oven Method?

The Good Eats way?


I brined mine, but nstead of the vegitable broth, I use onion soup packets, and some secret seasonings.

I have done well over 20 turkeys this way, and it is by far the best turkey I have ever tasted! :)

A brine is a brine, but I did do the stuffing his way.

Depends on if he's home or visitors, and position.

Never had it, but it involves cooking the bird at 200 - 250 F overnight. Heath experts cringe becuase of the long time available for bacteria to multiply, but the same problem would seem to apply to smoking, and I've never heard anyone decry the health risks of smoking (meat that is).

First I debone the turkey except the wing and lower legs. Then I slow cook it with wine basting into the cornbread stuffing in the slow charcoal cooker.

Not that they're all the same, but the basics of a brine are pretty much the same... 1/2 c. salt, 1/2 c. sugar per gallon of water. Then you add spices and whatever else you want to subtlely flavor with. I used 1/2 c. salt, 1/2 c. brown sugar, some orange and lemon, rosemary, thyme and bay.

Can I deep fry a turkey leg in my Fry Daddy? Does it get hot enough and such?

I'm not familiar with the fry daddy but I don't see why you couldn't. Careful though. We wouldn't want you to burn your house down. KCMizzou has been forbidden from frying anything at all. Or cooking. Or smoking. Or curling his hair.

I don't think they really prepare them much for what we are about to do, probably just tell them that they won a new retirement home in the tropics.

I cut him in fourths and put the rubbin' on him tonite, and will smoke his parts tomorrow on the Weber, over an oblong cake pan with water in it, with coals on both sides of the width of the pan.

I make a marinade of Worcestershire sauce and a nice brown ale (Samuel Adams is always a good choice...) and season the turkey with sea salt, coarse black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder, then into the oven it goes. Then I can make a very flavorful gravy from the juice for the mashed 'taters.
