i'm fryin a turkey, my gal is baking one. sides, she'll handle that. i'd dont ask what they are i just eat.

Man that bird looks so damn dry, I haven't baked a turkey in years, you need to find the thread where we talking about deep frying one, best damn turkey you will ever eat is a deep fried, I CAN'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW when I do one up.

 

[Mask]

Yea I know bout them birds getting fried. Had some Saturday, just was looking to try something different.

That dryness is the last of my worries.

We're combining traditional with a West Indian feast. We'll have a 26lb bird, mashed taters & gravy, stuffing, butternut squash soup, and green beans. On the other side: ox tails, Guyanese beef patties (Which I'll be making), pine tarts (pineapple for us Americans!), peas and rice, plantains, curried fish, curried shrimp, jerked chicken, and roti.

Nothing fancy for me this year, just some fried chicken, veges and mashed taters, Coconut wine coolers to wash it all down. The wife is hopefully going over my mothers house so I can chill and watch some football. Dont really feel like being around a lot of people this year.Might float past my cuzzos house and snatch up some sweet potatoe pie later that night.

looking forward to indulging in the ever dangerous stuffing from inside the turkey... save that other shit for everybody else just give me the stuff from inside the cavity.

I'm soaking a turkey in a BRiNe I prepared yesterday for 12 hours & I will roast it tomorrow w/ a cheese cloth soaked in butter & garlic on top instead of the normal foil tent. Mashed potatoes from scratch, baked mac & cheese, homemade rolls, cranberry sauce, greens(no ham)

Anxious to see how it will taste I haven't eaten any kind of bird in 6 months.

Oh damn, I forgot about the greens! They'll be in a crock pot with smoked turkey wings for flavor.

I personally prefer a fried Turkey but I have heard that BRiNe adds moisture & flavor to an otherwise DRY Turkey that has been baked or roasted.

For me it's all about avoiding the dry Turkey.

Roasting it on top of carrots & celery.

 

[woodchuck]

I set the crock pot to "low" and let it cook for about 5 or 6 hours.

The thing about brined Turkeys I don't like is the texture. This is why I am importing the cheese cloth soaked in garlic & butter. To get that Golden/Browness all over the top not just in spots.
