Today my realtor was telling me about how his brother cooks the turkey. Its very weird but he said its the best turkey he ever had. Take a metal trash can, flip it upside down. Drill a hole on each side and put the turkey on a rod and put the ends of the rod through the can. Raise the can about 6 inches off the ground. Put chrachol below and on top the can and cook it that way... 6 minutes per pound. He said its delicious. I'm going to try it once I get into my own house

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

For future reference, for a very juicy and flavorful turkey, look into brine recipes. This is the one I had my mom use this year and it came out excellent.

Yep, brining is the only way to cook a turkey. I also put a piece of aluminum foil folded in to a wedge over the breast to slow the cooking there since white meat cooks faster than dark meat and dries out much easier.

Also, dont cook till that little red thing pops up. Thats just an indicator that you over cooked the turkey and itll be dry as hell. Get a digital thermometer with a cord and an alarm. Set it to 161 and put it in the breast along the bone without it being on the bone. Pull it out at 161 and itll carry over 5-10 degrees and be delicious

After having a smoked turkey for the past few years, I don't know that we'll do it any other way.

Hope everyone had a great turkey day!

Sounds pretty much like the episode of Good Eats I just saw the other day

I don't think my mom used the alum. foil guard and the white meat was just as juicy as the dark meat. But it's something I've seen used before so I'll keep that in mind for the future.

A digital thermometer is something I do need to get.

How do you go about smoking your turkey Chris?

Exactly, I watch Alton Brown religiously.

He's kind of a purist at times, but everything Ive made from his show has been Good Eats

I'd soooo love to try a deep fried turkey. They look so good and are supposed to be very moist.
