It tastes like shit compared to other birds and you'll end up having 2 weeks worth of left overs no matter how many people you invite over.
 
You have never had a well cooked turkey, or apparently one that was the right size for the group you were inviting over.
 
"A turkey is standing on a runway that can move (some sort of band conveyer). The turkey moves in one direction, while the conveyer moves in the opposite direction. This conveyer has a control system that tracks the turkey speed and tunes the speed of the conveyer to be exactly the same (but in the opposite direction). Can the turkey take off?"

No, it's dead. :'(













And delicious. :wub:
 
I'm not a huge turkey fan. Occasionally I'll buy a couple of turkey tenderloins for something different, but the factory farmed turkey breed is pretty bland. That's not always a bad thing - sometimes you want a blank canvas, especially if you're brining it, or frying, or smoking. But the key is to add flavor.

This year we did a ham and a pheasant. I have a guinea fowl too, but I ended up not making it since it looked like we were going to have a ton of food. The pheasant was good. Nice flavor when simply roasted, as long as you don't overcook it. The nice thing about these small time birds is that the farming conditions make it so that you can cook them to medium like you might do with a duck.

I'm pretty happy with dinner this year. I think I'd do it again and just make more birds if we decide to ditch the ham or have a lot more people coming.

Turkey's tradition, though. I'd never get on someone for choosing to make it. Hell, I'd be happy they made me dinner!

It's the one bird you don't have to pick the bones of for a little meat!

True, but I find the drumsticks disappoint for having so many bones in them. Turkey also does tend to be dry, but a few times a year its' awesome to have anyways.
