We were going to do Thanksgiving today, but it turns out most of us will be here for the Holidays (everybody was going different places) so we'll just do the bird on Thursday.

Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving meals. All the turkey talk just makes me think of Christmas and the plans I need to make. Still not 100% sure how I'm going to cook the bird this year.

Have you guys seen the new oil-less turkey fryers? They use infrared technology, but taste like a fried turkey. You can use them to make french fries, etc.

I hate fucking turkey!!

[Abaddon]

If I could force people to try one thing once in their lives it'd be a good quality turkey, properly cooked. The mass-produced stuff is horrific and people cook it to death, and I reckon most turkey hate is down to these experiences. Turkey can be a beautiful thing if you splash out on the right bird and show it enough love.

What's the proper way to cook it?

What's the proper way to cook it?

I meant cooked well, rather than there being one specific way.

This is the method I've had the most success with:

Been simmering a turkey stock for a few hours now. Was going for 4, but may go longer. It isn't reducing as much as I'd like. Looks fantastic though.

Been out for a Japanese meal. Absolutely stuffed.
