What is The Most Meals You Gotten From a Turkey ?

[Beekissed]

I just deboned the turkey, stuffed all the appendages that used to hold bones with stuffing and also the space in the middle of the turkey, folded it up into itself, then tied it up with twine to keep it all trussed up, then baked it.

Here's the vid I learned from...love his accent!

Whoa! That just ain't natural!

LOL. That guy really knows his way around a chicken! Seriously though, I've never seen such a thing. I'm gonna have to give that a try. The knife scraping against the leg bones about ran me up the wall, like nails on a chalkboard. It was really neat how he made the wing "lollipop".

My Grandmom on my mothers side hated to cook. For some reason every Holiday she would make the turkey. I was a teenager before I learned turkey can be moist and have flavor !!

Mmm...Turkey. How many meals? I never counted. But I have roasted the turkey in the oven for the past 25+ years. My nephew does the deep fryer thing, and I have had it only once. Seems to me a waste of lots of perfectly good turkey broth.
Now it is just DH and myself. But I still do a turkey dinner with whatever trimmings sound tasty.

This year the fire dept is asking people not to do deep fryer for turkey. They claim it is to much of a fire hazard.

I was taken aback looking at story out of Boston on Thanksgiving day fires!

It is the worse residential fire day nationwide, not just in Boston! The Boston newspaper broke it down by neighborhood - average FDept responses for any other day vs average responses for T-day , a festival which turns out an embarrassing seasonal farce.

That exact reason is why I refuse to join the fad. That is an awfully lot of hot oil, to drop a wet cold bird into. And too many people shouldn't be doing that...obviously. Or it wouldn't be such a nationwide news story by now.

We did our meal today due to the boys having to work on Thursday and it turned out fabulous. Unanimous vote to do it that way from now on. If I do say so myself, this Thanksgiving meal was the best I've ever turned out, bar none.

Homemade rolls, home grown taters~red, white, yellow(mashed, with minced garlic and onions, schmaltz and a pinch of cumin, salt, parsley), gravy from the drippings, sweet corn canned up this summer...tasted like I just cut it off the cob , fried turkey breast steaks~marinated in garlic and onion powder, pepper, olive oil prior to rolling in flour and frying in a hot cast iron pan~seasoned with various spices while frying and came out crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Roasted dark meat...juicy as can be...done in a cooking bag, stuffing that had sweet corn, bacon, onions and celery in it, and sweet apple cider to drink.

It was definitely the best we've ever done and everyone agreed on it....now they have chosen their napping spots and are busy sleeping off the first round, preparing for the second.
