How does everyone cook their thanksgiving turkey. I fry mine in peanut oil. Have been doing this for at least 15 years. How about yall ?

Frying for the first time this year....

I skip the bird and eat prime rib.

Barbecue mine. Its really good.

There's a bird thread in the cooking section.

I roast mine. Cover the breast in cheese cloth and baste with wine and butter. Remove the cloth for the last bit and brown it up.

Works great!

Smoked on a Big Green Egg; AWESOME!

This.

The one and only time I tried frying, I fried it to a crackly crisp. Since then, I just bake a ham.

My wife singeing our bird at the Lake, ended up being 26lbs!

I have to work Thanksgiving Day but am supposed to pop the bird in the smoker Sunday morning when I get off work. A mixture of JD barrel chips and sassafras and it should be good.

I am having kimchi for Thanksgiving.

.. Kimchi no thank you. I spent a year in Korea. As long as I'm not starving I ain't eating that crap

New oil-less fryers are great! Basically an outdoor oven. You can read a book and smell it getting closer and closer to being ready, huddled up next to it if cold enough outside.

I tried the oil-less fryer last year, went back to frying in oil. Just didn't taste near the same to us. That was a waste of $100 for me.

Doing two small ones this year....one roasted in oven and one on the smoker. This one done in the smoker has Smoking Gun rub. Good stuff.

Elwood,
That looks good. When I smoke mine on my BGE; I stuff the inside with apples and celery to keep it moist. Cover the outside with mixture of butter,olive oil, salt, black and white pepper. When you slice it, it oozes it is so moist. Use the drippin's in my giblet gravy. When I am done eating it, take the carcass and leftover meat and make smoked turkey and andouile sausage gumbo.
Yummy.

Smoker grill...

Kimci with some cranberry sauce and rice on the side sounds excellent.

And Chilmyeonjo mondu?
