Many of you know I like to BBQ just about everything. When It comes to Turkey, BBQ would be my second choice as there is nothing like a properly roasted bird.

In either case, For the best Turkey you have to brine! These are good instruction -

Never do stuffing in the Turkey - this just dries it out and requires longer cooking times. Place some aromatic herbs loosley in the cavity instead, like a blend of thyme, sage and rosemarry.

Rub the skin with olive oil and season with a poultry blend - I use Bell's

Roast for 25 - 30 minutes at 500 to brown and crisp the skin - then set the oven at 350 to complete the cooking time.

cover the breast with foil to avoid drying out of the best part.

When done - Let the bird sit for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.


I recomend a digital temp gauge to get it just right.

Happpy Thanksgiving!

Man...I can't wait. Beer...Turkey...Beer....FootBEERBall....MOHAA....Beer...Does it get any better?!

I deep fried two turkeys this year and they were awesome!!

It puts the lotion on its skin....or it gets the hose again!

Good Recipe Viper. If memory severs me correctly this is the recipe from Alton Brown's "Good Eats" (yes I watch this show religiously), and it is a excellent way to cook a bird.

We had 31 people over for thanks giving this year. We roasted a 34lbs. turkey and we deep fried a 18lbs. turkey (I would be more then glad to tell anyone how to deep fry a turkey).

I love to cook and would be more then glad to swap recipes with anyone that would like to. I was a sous chef for a large restaurant in the Seattle area for four years.

Race. :pc:
