Turkey and Stuff

Zeno · #1 11-21-2004, 01:42 AM

What are some good turkey cooking tips - Or the best way to cook the bird on Thanksgiving? Traditional rooster style or....? One year I helped make a bourbon turkey.

The other big thing is stuffing. Without good stuffing a Thanksgiving dinner is sub par at best. We had great stuffing from a family recipe. I know it included bread that was aged to perfection (let it sit out for days) sausage, and a mix of great spices. My sister and Mom still use it.

And if anyone suggests putting raisins in turkey stuffing they should be banded forever from the Other Other Topics Forum. Or at least shot.

deep fried or turducken, google for them and then search here for threads that have discussed them already

Isn't turducken one of those insane Madden creations, with the duck inside a chicken inside the turkey?

yeah I also recommend either deep frying it, or BBQ it over some charcoals.

How'd you BBQ it? My gf is insiting on turkey, so I said only if we BBQ it. ...I just haven't got a clue, except maybe to hack it down the middle and splay it.

Any better tips than this?

You can BBQ Turkey much like you do chicken.

Yeah, you put on a tray I believe. Maybe check out Webers website for recipes?

I've never BBQ'd chicken either. I'll try the weber site cracka mentioned.

For anyone who plans sprouts (is that traditional?), we just had my new favourite way tonight: toss 'em in olive oil, grind on salt and pepper and roast em for 40-50 mins in a baking tray, not along with the bird. They roast much better.
