How are we cooking Turkeys next week?

First year doing the family thanksgiving Turkey (20-ish people). Doing an orange bourbon brine and a maple bourbon glaze on the Treager.


Really just asking this out of curiosity. If you have sides you like to make share those too.

I will be mashing potatoes for 15. Turkey, my sister brings stuffing, my other sister makes cranberry sauce with apricots. We will have peas, homemade gravy. We have El Salvadoran guests coming over, so we will have some treat from them (I’m hearing tamales). Pumpkin pie and a cranberry/raspberry pie with streusel topping. I’m already sleepy thinking about it.

I’m smoking a Turkey too! Brine but I keep it simple and just use a Turkey seasoning and inject the bird with butter.

I’ll share my gfs green bean casserole when I get a second. I promise it tastes better than it sounds!

Cut out the back bone and break the chest bone so it sits flat. It cooks evenly and quickly, and worst case you can cut off/ pull off pieces that cook too far ahead

Planning to try it this year for the first time too, even though I'm in Egypt :)
Guess smoking it is what most of people like and that would be my plan, just needs to be on a small bird cuz if it failed I might think of ordering a bigger cooked one instead:)

Classic turkey is roasted, but it can be tricky, because it has a tendency to get dry. Hence the suggestion to use a Traeger or even a Weber barbecue. Good luck!

I've eaten WAY too many dry turkeys in my lifetime.
My first time cooking one I did a dry brine, spatchcocked, and used the Traeger and it was PERFECT. My mom was shocked at how good it was.

Fuck! I need to go buy a turkey. I can't find one under 15 pounds where I live and that is way too much for my small family. Freaking Utah and it's 8 kid families.

Love to hear use of a Traeger for thanksgiving. I Spatchcock my turkey after brining and then smoke it on the traeger pro 22. Mac and cheese is king of Thanksgiving sides IMHO

We are old school in the oven, but brined for 48 hours then buttered with garlic and herbs under the skin, super crispy skin, delicious juicy meat. Happy turkey day savages

I’ll butterfly it. Dry Brine it for 24. Then cook indirect on the Weber kettle at about 325 with a couple chunks of wood for a lil smoke.
