retrofade Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I'm not handling the turkey this year, but I'm team spatchcock all the way. I'll be cooking some epic potatoes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posturedoc Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Like retro, I’m not handling the turkey this year, but I’ve never spatchcocked my turkeys. I have spatchcocked chickens many times, usually for the grill rather than the oven, and really like that technique, but I have a tried and true recipe for a whole turkey that works perfectly every time, so I’m reluctant to change things. For smaller birds, I also have a steam convection oven that will produce an excellent crispy skinned bird up to 13 or 14lbs (can’t recall the oven’s capacity off the top) in 80-90 minutes, so I’ll probably never spatchcock a turkey. Spatchcock. (Just needed to get that in one more time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strong, manly word for a strong manly way to prepare a bird. You have seen the Turkeys I prepare on facebook each year. My spatchcock is juicy AF. A1 baby.

ClevelandBrown Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 My Grandma wants roasted chicken. She just turned 93 and in hospice so that's what we're doin. Probably the last TG with her and it's just me, her, and my mom this year so that sounds good. I'm making my killer brussel sprouts dish though! I think, therefore I'm.

I am Ram Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 We go to a family we're friends with in rural Washington. They tend to have at least two dozen people over, so there's more than one turkey and usually ham. Not sure whether spatchcoking will play a role. We usually bring some fresh sides or salad because that family is a bit traditional when it comes to things like fiber (suspicious) and vitamins (probably socialist). Day after TG, we go to our in-laws, who also make a turkey. We usually bring a vegan roast, either from TJ or Whole Foods. Both are amazing. I'm not a vegan, but I'll happily pile vegan roast on top of turkey and drench everything with gravy. I really look forward to watching Detroit play this TG. I'm 100% on the Lions bandwagon.

East Coast Aztec Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Christmas is my time to shine, so eating everyone else's food, and watching a house of Seahawks and Niners fans bicker. No work and no skin in the game. A day off for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyoguns Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Regular Turkey and also a Turkey breast on the Traeger. Ham included and the fixings. My favorite part is the stuffing covered in gravy. I hope everyone has a great day surrounded by family and friends! edit…trying a butter, brown sugar, cranberry glaze over the ham also. It looks amazing online…hope it’s as good on my plate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYO1016 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Team deep fry here. Cajun butter injection, garlic cloves under the skin, peanut oil for frying. Turns out perfect every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgeview2 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I smoked my first turkey ever last weekend and it came out very delicous and juicy. I brined it over night and then injected with a mix of unsalted butter, maple syrup, and chipotle seasoning, and I used a mix of mesquite and apple wood pellets on the smoker. My friends told me it was the best turkey they've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
