How is everyone cooking their turkey?

[NiceGuyJer]

Turkey Confit! Brined with Kosher salt, bay and herbsfor 24 hours. Slow cooked for 24 hours in Duck fat with even more aromatics; allowed to rest and then pan seared to crisp up the skin; tossed with minced rosemary and thyme and served with a cranberry balsamic gastrique (cranberries,shallots, red wine, sugar, and balsamic vinegar cooked until slightly syrupy)

Well this year its just the wife, me and our son so I have a breast I am going to do up in the crock pot with carrots and potatoes like a roast. Should make a great soup afterward.

I'm going to a friend's house who happens to be a great cook :thumbup:

It is the young woman PorkDucci met when he was here.

Both of these methods sound delicious:

I plan on removing the backbone, laying it flat on the grill and cooking it with apple wood. Apple pecan dressing.

Reading this followed up by your Sig really made my day. You seem like an awesome person.

Well, in a word...chicken. Roasted. My company gave me a turkey, but one of our patients in town wasn't getting anything, so I gave 'em the bird!

Seriously...a #16 turkey for just me? Didn't seem right.

My wife and I decided to use a brine recipe that we watched on Alton Brown a few nights ago. It recieved great reviews from quite a few people that have been using it for years. I am hoping it turns out juicy and delicious!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!:thumbup:
