[Msmith]

Turkey day is coming around in three weeks.

Here is an article about the Turkey recipe showdown: https://www.yahoo.com/food/thanksgiving-showdown-who-has-the-best-roast-turkey-101353067183.html

What is yours?

[TimBone]

We need a British recipe.

[ptlyon]

"First you put the turkey in the pot"

[J Diddy]

Step 1 go to my parent's house
Step 2 eat turkey

[Dayze]

We need a British recipe.

Boil it?

[Jimmya]

How many on here fry their turkey?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Put it in a bag and bake it.

Packaged gravy mix.

StoveTop stuffing.

Seriously, I'm trying a crock pot easy version tonight since it'll just be my wife and I this year.

Last year, I went all in on a totally homemade lasagna with fresh pasta. Not exactly traditional, but it was freakin' amazing.

[Msmith]

You have a large crock pot or you are going to cook a small size turkey?

Normal crock pot could only go up to 300 degree. The covered turkey will be moist and flavored. But I don't think the skin will be browned enough.

[ptlyon]

You could try it in an oven bag in da crock

[Donger]

In. I'm going to be doing the turkey this year. Then I'm going to cook it.

I've had enough of Mrs. "Just A Dash of Salmonella" Donger's Thanksgiving dinners.

Since it's just me and Mrs. FMB!, just doing a couple thighs on top of pre-seasoned stuffing, onion, celery, and dried cranberries (with some chicken stock for moisture). I seared the skin, and I'm planning to throw it under the broiler to crisp it up tonight. If the broiler doesn't crisp it, I'll just throw the skin out - a lot of that fat will render into the stuffing for drippings/flavor.

Wait...What?

Is that how you Brits stuff a turkey?

[ptlyon]

Hope he remembers to remove the giblets first

[J Diddy]

Do they remove them or just spritz em?

[Donger]

Sheep are preferred but...

[ptlyon]

Have no idea what the limey bastards do.

Oh and P. S. Fuck Paul McCartney

[Dayze]

i'm hoping to do an Ellie Kemper this Thanksgiving

[J Diddy]

I thought that was the Scots.

Crap. The walls of my ignorance are being tore down today.

Why hate McCartney when Ringo is still alive?

[Donger]

The Brits don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Because they are British.

[Donger]

I thought that was the Scots.

Crap. The walls of my ignorance are being tore down today.

My father was a Scot. My mother was English.

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

I like to make a Scarborough Fair turkey on the smoker.

Stuff the bird with Italian Parsley, Sage, BBQ Rosemary and ENGLISH Thyme. Ghee and minced garlic rubbed all over the outside. Maple smoking wood.

I currently have a 10lb. picnic shoulder brining that will be ready for the smoker on Thanksgiving Eve. Home made ham for turkeyday and a turkey for Xmas this year.

No, they had to go off and fuck up our forth of July with Wimbledon

[J Diddy]

The Brits don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Because they are British.

This isn't about the celebration of Thanksgiving. This is about the preparation of turkey. Do they not prepare turkey?

[Dayze]

No, they had to go off and **** up our forth of July with Wimpledon

FYP

[Ceej]

Step 1 go to my parent's house
Step 2 eat turkey

Step 3 Nap
Step 4 Turkey sandwiches
Step 5 Nap

[Dayze]

Step 6: Xvideos

[J Diddy]

My father was a Scot. My mother was English.

The Scots fought for independence only to give that up for a ring?

I don't buy it.

[Donger]

No, they had to go off and **** up our forth of July with Wimbledon

LMAO

I was once asked by a deliciously-beautiful but empty-headed girl, "Do they celebrate The Fourth of July in England?"

:spock:

LMAO

[KCUnited]

Brine
Rub
Smoke

The best is capturing the drippings in the smoker and making the gravy, all smokey and shit. That gravy will save any side on the plate that someone else may have fucked up.

[Donger]

This isn't about the celebration of Thanksgiving. This is about the preparation of turkey. Do they not prepare turkey?

I don't believe that I ever had turkey in England.

[Donger]

FYP

LMAO

[J Diddy]

You left kind of early in your life didn't you?


I hope you realize that my concept of American superiority revolves around the world eating turkey.

You should try McCormick's with a little liquid smoke. ;)

Yes.

Thinking of crushing some watermelon Icebreakers for the wang! component in my rub.

[Donger]

Which McCormick's?

[J Diddy]

Turkey preparation or just down home masturbation?

[Sorter]

Do they have wild turkeys in England?

[Donger]

Heh. I just called Mum and asked her about why we never had turkey in England.

"It was too ****ing expensive. That's why I cooked your rabbit. Love you!"

Click.

Gotta love her.

[Donger]

Do they have wild turkeys in England?

Beats me.

They probably got the good whiskey.

If you're one of those heathen bastards who refuse to use the bird's cavity to make stuffing, you could spatchcock the turkey and cook it on top of a layer of vegetables. That will both lessen cooking time and allow you to use the turkey back to make a homemade gravy, instead of being limited to just the neck and giblets.

[gblowfish]

Turkey is one of my favorite things.

And I LOVE jellied cranberries. Freaking LOVE them.

[Easy 6]

Pretty traditional for me, bake low and slow that is the tempo, covered and remove the foil covering for the last hour or two to crisp the skin... basting with pan juices every time I think about it.

Dont like my stuffing in the actual turkey so that out, dont have a turkey fryer so thats out, dont want a bunch of exotic spices on a traditional dish so thats out... poultry rub, black pepper, baste often and profit.

I try to make a turkey about once a month, and I often have turkey parts (usually thighs) at another point in the month. Yummy goodness.

I made a turkey on Tuesday, as a matter of fact, in honor of it being election day.

I've heard the term, but havent seen it in action... looks like a great method for quicker, even cooking.

[Stewie]

We'll do our normal smoked turkey. We serve both garlic mashed potatoes and buttery mashed potatoes. Too many other sides and food too mention. It's mostly about family, but the food is damn good.

Here's ATC with a brine and spatchcock prep for a chicken. You'd have to go bigger for a turkey, obviously, but the basics would be the same.

[SAUTO]

Deep fried. Injected with all kinds of shit and the rub put under the skin, skin put back on

[runnercyclist]

Throw it on the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker. Burning charcoal and mesquite. 6 hours later enjoy.

[Abba-Dabba]

Wet Brine
Stuff with apples, oranges, celery and onions.
Butter mixed with fresh parley rubbed under and on top of the skin
baked for 1st hour without foil on top. Rest of time will have foil on top until it reaches internally about 160-164 degrees

How do you like the WSM? I've wanted one for quite a while.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/tfu_zZ3u9ys" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>I made this last night. I did my own variation on the compound butter, but that's the only thing I changed.

It came out amazing. The chicken was juicy and perfect. The skin was nice and crisp and crackly. The potatoes underneath were phenomenal. I'm not a potato fiend; however the wife is. She loved them.

Pretty simple stuff, just had to allocate a little extra time to brine, but it was oh so worth it.

[Groves]

Gotta throw a rack of ribs in with it.

Bastard! and don't forget the green bean casserole...


And boxed brownies!


Don't make me hurt you.

I'm glad you liked it. I've found ATC to be pretty darned good, most of the time.

[BucEyedPea]

My turkey recipe is buy one organic one, brine ( thyme, juniper berries, bay leaf, black pepper and garlic) and pop it in the oven. I might do the same brine but with apple cider and some brown sugar this year.

[Pepe Silvia]

This thread makes me glad Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away.
