Thanksgiving Turkey.

This year I decided I wanted to be adventurous and do a turkey. My in-laws are ham people but there isn’t anything wrong with having turkey and ham. I did some research via GeorgiaOrganics.org and PickYourOwn.org (which is the entire country) and found a farm about 20 miles away that raises turkeys among other things. I called a little late and so I had to get put on a waiting list since there are only about a dozen or so of them. But I got the call 2 weeks ago that I’ve been bumped up to an active user and a turkey has been reserved for me. I tried to find the picture of my turkey but I accidentally deleted the email. It’s a free-range turkey raised by the fine folks over at Bay Creek Acres.

So . . . does anyone have any good turkey recipes? I kind of want to do a slow smoked turkey? Any ideas?

Obviously you must deep fry. There is no other way. Thanks for playing.

the green egg ( i think that’s what it’s called) fries it up nice. Deep fry, dude, crispy on outside and JUICY on inside. That’s 3 votes for deep fry!

ummm sounds really yummy! if you’re getting an organic bird to be healthy then the slow roasting thing prolly isn’t your best bet. you should slow roast it with lots of herbs basting it often after you brine it overnight OR smoke it on a smoker. i’ve never made on but a cool website is http://www.tastespotting.com/ You can always go traditional and “string cook” it :) http://www.williamrubel.com/recipes/string-turkey/grissinoturkey.html Ok i’m going to stop.. my mouth is watering :)
