I went for a haircut yesterday and the subject of how one cooks a Turkey at this time of the year came up?

Personally ( and I know it may not be safe) cook ours all night slowly at 220 and then brown at 400.

My Barber likes his either deep fried or smoked, I didnt know you could do either, but with retrospect why not:dontknow:

Post up any cooking suggestions and styles regarding Turkey.

Regards

Cook mine in a metal garbage can or deep fry it....
 
Fried is the way to go. :rock: :rock:
 
Inject Butter Garlic Merinade in the Breasts and Thighs and give it a Tony Creachers rubdown and throw it in the frier
 
l'm definitely voting for the injected and deep fried. Had some a few weeks ago as a test run for Turkey Day while camping, and good God, it was absolutely delicious. l will warn that it must be done with a fully thawed and as dry as possible bird, as any water will cause splatter. We had the fryer set at 350, and a 15lb took about 40 minutes... a must try if available... we used peanut oil, by the way...
 
Soak in Brine for a day then throw it on the pit (oven works too) Brining is the only way with turkey. I got the details from a Chef a number of years ago. No one in all the years I've been doing has yet to say it was not the best turkey they've ever had. I can post details if anyone is interested.

peanut oil is the best, I saw on a tv program "Justin Wilson" the cajun chef deep fry a turkey like 15 years ago, "whhooooie dat sure am fine, wid a lil soda pop wid foam on top (beer), he dry rubbed with spicy cajun seasonins, I myself would put a buncha tabasco dropletz on it after cookin, never had the deep fried bird, my mouth waterz every time you guyz talk about this cookin method.......:eating: :eating: :eating:
 
i go to the honey-baked ham store and get the sliced breast and a spiral cut ham.

And probably get your nails done every week too huh? :rock: :p
 
No turkey for me this year.

I will be roasting a beef tenderloin. Then prepare a couple lobster tails to go with it.

It's been a few years since I have done it, but I have to agree that deep frying a turkey is the best. Believe it or not, but one of the best things I used to inject the turkey with was Italian salad dressing. Strain it through a couple layers of cheese cloth to remove the big chunks that will clog the needle and you are ready to go.

DEFROST YOUR TURKEY COMPLETELY IF YOU DO FRY IT!!!!!!!!!! otherwise.... well heat some oil and throw a couple DROPS of water in it and you'll see what happens... imagine a 15# turkey =P

on another note, slow cooking is always better, it doesnt dry the meat out and makes the meat more tender. you can also infuse the the meat with a garlic/butter mixture (via syringe or w/e its called for cooking but you get the idea) before you stick it in the oven. the garlic butter will give it a nice flavor as well as keeping the meat tender and juicy.
