Boned, butterflied,brined, then broil/roasted--a system we got from one of Julia Child's cookbooks. The bones were made into a stock for the gravy & to moisten the oyster dressing.
-
Slow roasted in the oven.... stuffed!

Both. ???

I got a turkey fryer last year for Thanksgiving but it couldnt fit a big bird. My brother ended up getting a 14# turkey for 8 adults and 4 kids. We did it the Saturday before Thanksgiving and of course I had to work so I only got a small piece (maybe 2 bites worth). I still have 'custody' of the turkey fryer but it is at his house. Here on the farmstead we have a 20# turkey for the 6 adults that will be here. We always bake the turkey, put slits in it and pack it with butter then smother it with Longhorn BBQ sauce (a local steak house that sells BBQ sauce by the gallon). Already planning what to do with all the leftovers

Cider-brined, then roasted. So good!

None of the above. I'm working on Thanksgiving, so no turkey dinner or family time for me. :'(

Make-ahead turkey gravy made!

Paul, I'm sure y'all have many holidays where you eat more than you need to.
We'll be off to the soup kitchen soon to help feed the many homeless folks. It's a great afternoon for them....
Y'all have a great day!

All of us North Americans have to remember that the rest of the world doesn't know what we are talking about.

I'm a bit late with my well wishes, but I hope everone had a wonderful Thanksgiving day celebration!!
As for me, I had to work a 24hr shift at the firehouse on Turkey Day, but we had more food than you could shake a turkey neck at!! One turkey fried, the other hickory-smoked, but the "fried' was the favorite, bar none!!
Fortunately, it was a very quiet day...

I can remember, as if it were yesterday, the very first Thanksgiving that "fried turkeys" made their debut!!
Not thinking the process through, people were frying their turkey INDOORS!!!

I remember those days too. Folks burning up their homes, garages, their dogs and themselves. We've learned much about weight displacement of peanut oil and that water and boiling oil has a conflict.

That reminds me of the retirement article that Dale Curry the Food Editor of our local rag, the Times-Picayune. She wrote that she had written an article about frying turkeys that year--even said it was to be done outdoors--when the fad first got legs in NO. But she didn't say in her article "not under the carport" or not "next to the house" or under a tree, etc. Of course the numerous fires that occurred that Thanksgiving caused her and her boss to believe that she and the paper would be sued because of her omission of the statement of the obvious!

Sounds like nominations for the,"Dawin Award".

Naturally. Because in today's society no one should be held acceptable for their own stupidity! :/O

Our Fire Department put on a demo showing the wrong way to fry a turkey. I was amazed. You could get seriously burned.

I just made my beautiful wife the national favorite leftover. The open face sandwich, heated with mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing and turkey. She loved it and devoured the whole thing. She is beginning to like our simple foods a lot.

I'll be honest...I'm not a big fan of Turkey. THOUGH, my mom made the best turkey I have ever eaten this year! She did her typical method of applying a flour and butter paste to the outside and starting off at 500 degrees and eventually cooling the oven down to 350...this year she added a twist...she used the convection setting on my oven. It did the trick! The skin was like it was fried and the meat was melt in our mouth juicy.
