thanksgiving turkey

[red feather 10]

Looking for your recipes on how to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving.

 

Ours is to hang the bird from a tripod with chickenwire columns for the briquets on each leg. Surround the whole thing in foil, wait for the button to pop out. Yum!!! Include potatoes, both sweet and bakin, about halfway thru (Oh yeah, stuffing). Greenbean casorole, corn, garlic bread, with dutch oven cakes for dessert.

 

Come on give. Its Thanksgiving and may you all have a good one.

I do not care how you cook the turkey, the best thing I have found to making a good turkey are two things. First you should brine your turkey. This will make it moist and allow you to get alot of flavor in the turkey (brining is also good for pork). The second is to get ignore the pop up timer and cook the bird to tempeture. The best recipe that I have found that I use as a base is off of the "Good Eats" tv show on FoodTV. I have include the link here.

Three sisters pottage? I'm intrigued...

Three Sisters Pottage is an easy to make stew of beans, corn and squash/pumpkin

 

here's a general recipe (mine follows the eastern woodland tradition, however, it's an easy recipe to adjust and modify to taste)
