Thanksgiving Dinner 2025

[kodis556]

it'll be the same-o at my house. Spatchcocked turkey on the BGE. Unless I see something new and exciting on here, then I may try others recipes in addition to.

I haven't cooked a turkey in 6 or 7 years. Usually it's been one or two oven roasted ducks. The fat that comes off them is pure cooking gold for the next 6 months. One year I did pheasant...

I haven't worked up the courage to do a goose, though I've had it several times.

We don’t do turkey round here…like thevalueman said. Standing rib roast, sous vide and flaming hot grill reverse sear. It don’t get no better…
All the other fixings added and gain a few pounds.

i should try duck. You just use Publixs ones?
The nuisance geese sometimes meet untimely deaths and end up in the chili.

Our 2 kids and g-kids (minus one) will be at our house for T-giving.
I have no idea what will be on the menu.
It's not in my labor grade to know

Saw a roast turkey the other day that involved covering the bird with a cheese cloth, and basting the bird through the cheese cloth via pouring the basting liquid onto the cheese cloth.....said that helped keep the breast meat more juicy....of course, you take the cheese cloth near the end of cook time, to make sure the bird is browned properly.....
last turkey I did involved boiling it a bit, resting it in the refrigerator over nigh, then a quick bake......rib roast is MUCH easier!!!
to the question about freezer burn....I'm thinking the fat cap will protect the meat from any of that....we'll see....the ends, I typically trim off anyway

Depends on my EBT status. Might be having beef broth from a cube and some stale saltines.

Forgot to mention, my wife will be fixing about 2 dozen deviled eggs to take.
Everybody likes 'em, she's the only one with the patience to prepare them.

Can't say i ever cooked a piece of meat in a boil bag,, BUT if your doing a standing Rib roast the absolute beat way to do it is, we do ours in a case iron pot, spread your butter mixed with all your season all over the prime roast, cook at 500degrees for 5min per pound then turn off the oven and DON"T OPEN DOOR FOR 2 HOURS .

That's the thing. With sous vide, you're giving it a comforting 135-140 degree bath.
