Once again, I am cooking thanksgiving at my house. Last year I cooked the meal too but I wanted to try a different recipe, I have seen several but I thought it would be better to get one that someone I know has tried and works! Plus I am sure there are many people here with the same question.. So let's hear them!!

P.s Recipe's for the turkey!!

Eat out ?

Moms house ? Cousins ?

I don't really have a recipe for Turkey .... but with stuffing - I grind hazelnuts and add it to the dressing - along with a TINY bit of jalopeno peppers - again - sliced really tiny - it's really really good and adds a little crunch & heat to the stuffing.....

I don't have any turkey recipes...I cooked Thanksgiving dinner at my house ONCE when I was in my early twenties and swore I'd never do it again! I kept my word

Last year my husband got a free turkey and he deep fried it. You can buy the cookers that come with the peanut oil and everything, a kit, at Walmart. It sounds like it would be greasy but it isn't. If you've never eaten a fried turkey, it is DELICIOUS!!! When baking it in the oven it's hard to keep it from drying out...Just a thought that maybe you had not thought of and I highly reccomend it

cindy0721 · 11-16-2005, 06:20 AM

Yup, we've done the peanut oil thing, I might go that route again, you now reminded me of why we fried it rather than baked it... thanks!!

But I am still open to suggestions

I use the foil wrap method to cooking my turkey. It comes out very moist and you can reduce to cooking time. I unwrap the top for the last 30 minutes to brown.

After eating fried turkey, I'd never go back to baked.

me neither!!! It's a lot less trouble too and you don't have to worry about basting or worry that it will be dry

And since it is done outside you can get hubby to do it

I feel the same way Kim, plus it gives the guys something to do other than watch t.v and gives more breathing room since they are in charge of the turkey cooking, I am going to check to see if Sam's fryer prices..

Go to Sam's and buy a smoked turkey!! Can't be beat!

You can always check out Foodnetwork.com or Allrecipes.com, they have some great turkey recipes to try out, also they have great feedback. I am scared to cook a turkey lol, I make a great ham but I leave the turkey up to the real chef in the family

kara · 11-16-2005, 07:49 AM

I use this recipe every year and it makes the best turkey. Plus the turkey always looks like the ones in magazines perfectly brown and everything. The key is STRICTLY following the recipe down to every detail. I am promising you it will be perfect and taste delish!!!

I cooked mine in a roaster last year and it turned out really good.

eensor · 11-16-2005, 01:31 PM

Here's one I like:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees:

1 turkey washed and patted dry
2 c. cornbread crumbs
2 cans chicken broth
5 slices white bread crumbled
1 onion chopped fine
3 stalks celery chopped fine
2 tsp. Sage
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
3 cups UNCOOKED popcorn

Mix all ingredients together except the turkey. Stuff the turkey with the mixture and bake uncovered for at least 3 hours, or until the popcorn blows the a** off the turkey!
