Yes...oven cooked is the only way we'd even consider cooking our turkey.



I guess you've never had one slow cooked over lump charcoal and apple
wood.


Fried are nice a juicy and quick. We have done them that way on camping
trips. The oven roasted give you the drippings for excellent gravy, and I
also like to cook them in my offset firebox smoker for 8-9 hours with some
alderwood for smoke. They are all good.


If you ever decide to try one on the grill or smoker, loogypicker and I do
the same thing, and it works. Buy a cheap pack of turkey wings, put in a
cast iron pan, and roast at 350 in the oven for a couple hours. This will
provide a good base for gravy, and it can be done early.
