Is it Turkey for Thanksgiving or Other Meats Also?
« on: October 29, 2017, 12:54:08 PM »
We are exclusively a turkey eating family at Thanksgiving.  Bent does the bird on the Memphis Pro and has started to spatchcock it for cooking.  I realize it cooks better spatchcocked and is easier to carve, but no drippings for gravy :(

Is your family a turkey only family?

Only meat on the Thanksgiving day table is turkey... per the wife...She is very traditional on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve (BLT's).

All other occasions we mix it up some.

With  over 20 people we’ll have a shrimp ring, stuffing with Dungeness crab, a small ham and then yes lots of turkey.   While I’m all about the turkey the variety means all are thankful.

No turkey in this house. Wife doesn't care for it so I don't cook it.

We are not a turkey family, we will either do a brisket flat or pork loins for lunch.

Traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Oven roasted, although I have experimented many times. It was mostly successful but my wife is in charge of the Thanksgiving dinner, traditional and delicious.  I enjoy all the bounties. Christmas is different though, it has been for 30 years, Dungeness crab (if fresh) or king crab, standing rib roast and Fettucine. It is pretty darn good. It is horribly hard to find good crab here, Kansas, go figure. My brother in law recently retired from Boeing, spent half of every year in Seattle, he was in charge of the crab. Whatever he fetched, we ate.

Definitely a Turkey family. You could always throw a Turkey breast into an aluminum pan for drippings on the Memphis. When I do mine in the over I use the Reynolds turkey bag and it works out great, keeps the juice in and you have a ton of drippings. I'm getting hungry thinking about it. Nothing beats Turkey gravy and mashed taters...
