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.
Gosh, I put the whole turkey in a turkey bag in the oven at 350F for
three hours and it is done, wings, legs, breast, everything, and I don't
have to worry about a grill or a smoker outdoors. Is it the Army way to
make more work than need be out of a simple task? Did you have to call
in for a "surge"?- Hide quoted text -

Harry, it's all about taste. If you'd rather not experience anything
than what you are used to, that's your choice.


I like roasted turkey to taste like roasted turkey. If I wanted to eat
oiled turkey, I would. I am not a fan of fried foods, be they potatoes
or turkeys.

We would not want our smoked turkey to taste like roasted turkey. Nor would
we want the rotisserie turkey to taste like roasted turkey. Boston Market
makes a great (I've heard) roasted turkey. I'm glad you like it.
