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. . Yep - gotta have the V-rack with breast side down.. Covered. Also dump in a quart of chicken broth at the start. When done, remove bird, cover with foil for a full half-hour before even thinking about carving.. Gives one plenty of time to do a proper gravy.. Grills don't work well up here in late November when it's probably 15-20 degrees F... Not for me anyway..

I liked smoked turkey, then we got one that was not so good.

I’ve been doing them trash can style for prob 8-10 years and have gotten good results. Frees up the kitchen and gives us guys a chance to laugh and catch up and relax. Brine overnight in cooler and sure makes for a good bird.
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Free with $100 purchase or .68c/lb.
I’m sure glad I’m not a turkey farmer!

What's the best price you've seen on a good Thanksgiving turkey?
Walmart at about a dollar a pound here. I'm waiting till closer to the holiday for specials.
My wife does a great job with an oven bag.
How, and how? One 12ga. Shell.

Sometimes the price race to the bottom of the barrel isn't a good idea for the consumer or the producer.

No one cooks the bird in oil?

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. Ha! I think the twelve pounder I got at a turkey shoot only cost me about Fifty bucks. Well worth it though! Jerry

Skip it and eat beef. Why eat a dry flavorless bird out of tradition?

If your turkey is dry and flavorless, you're cooking it wrong.

If your turkey is dry and flavorless, you're cooking it wrong. I've heard that before, loved to be proved wrong. Hasn't happened yet. And I can take a nice cut of beef, add basically nothing, cook it almost any way and have a wonderful meal.

An oven bag keeps the bird moist.
