And here I thought this was going to be a thread on the monstrosites of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides, and the general wanton destruction in the region emanating from a certain unhinged power..
I think the bird is okay, but it's just a big chicken. Overrated.
Same here.
Oven cooking a turkey is always laborious. About 25 years ago we started brining them, then cooking it on a Weber Kettle charcoal grill.
Perfection.
This year, for the first time, I'll be trying the Traeger smoker/grill. It's just my wife, daughter and myself, so we're going with a 10 pound turkey breast. Should take about 3 hours.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
Best use for turkey are the day after sandwiches: bread, turkey, and cranberry sauce.
I’m a big fan of smoked turkey (Mad Max Turkey and Gravy style). But this year given the cost of birds at our local grocery store, my turkey looks a lot like an eleven pound pork butt. It’s been on the smoker since 4:00 pm yesterday. I think the left over sammies will be better than ever.
I also like turkey, and Green Chile Turkey Enchiladas the following week is AWESOME. Gonna have to try it smoked.
Given the price of birds this year, I got cornish game hens for about $0.87 each and am going to spatchcock and roast, after a dry bine. Might have to try smoking those too.

Son-in-law has been working with a smoker all summer with intention to have a smoked turkey this year, and they're hosting.
I'm looking forward to it!
