Marc's Grocery Store nearby had turkey on sale for .49 cents a pound last week. I ran my mother up to pick out her turkey. Thanksgiving dinner is her favorite family event.
There's nothing like Thanksgiving Dinner at Mom's house no matter how old you are!

somehow ended up with 4 turkeys in the freezer and only bought one of them the others were given to us.

Split it open like a big chicken and grill it. Remove the breast before the dark meat keeping it moist. Remove meat from bone and tear it up like chopped pork bbq and season. When its all done it looks like eastern NC bbq pork and seasoned similar. I started doing them on the grill so the wife could have the oven for other goodies.
I know I’m bout sick of my old man cooking a bird in the oven and refusing to let me brine it the day before. It ends up being a dried out waste and everyone eats the ham instead.

Same chit every year
If we do one in the oven she jams it in a big roasting pan covered and with the breast down. No "golden skin" that nobody eats anyway but not dried out.
Much rather do it outside on the old grill. Its big enough to do 2 18-20 lb birds with indirect heat.

wrap it in tyvek before you put it in the oven. moist and tender is the result
going to put this up again for those who have not seen it, I've been doing the turkey like this the last 3 yrs, everyone loves it.

We don't do turkey for Thanksgiving or any holiday meals.
For us, if we are making a holiday meal we make what we really like: prime rib, crablegs or steak. A couple basic sidedishes and that's it. No way am I going to ruin a rare sitdown family meal with a dang turkey.
I occasionally pick up a turkey or two at the Community Club annual turkey shoot. They are almost free at 2 bucks a shot. When I add up travel, rifle, custom ammo, beer, scope and practice sessions, I think I'm getting turkey for around 8 bucks a pound, helluva deal.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Sounds similar to deer season. After factoring in license, tags, rifles, powders, primers, bullets, clothing, etc., that venison is a steal at 10 bucks a pound!
Still... tastes better than anything I can buy at the store.
Prolly less likely to cause cancer too.

I fixed a dozen shrimp skewers in the grill last year as a nice side.
My gluttonous brother in law would not wait for the shrimp to get done so he ate about 13 rolls and 4 or 5 cupcakes and went in the living room and watched some dumbfouck pre recorded isle of man race on Speed Tv while the rest of the family ate.
