You guys got me thinking about turkey and I picked up a 13 pounder
today (99 cents a pound on sale)

........

I’m about to get an oil boiler and do some turkeys that way. Yes, they are that cheap...

My SIL got one of these. Says it does a great job on turkeys with no oil. My daughter says they came
out better than the ones I've made - either smoked or grilled. So there.

Going to give this a shot.

Donnie, please don't be offended. After all, it's Sunday.

Looks good. Sounds like a good place for some smoke. I end up doing
that on the gas grille but it is really not a smoker I do throw
hickory chips in there tho.
I am not that much on the breast meat tho I am a leg man so I cook
thigh quarters. It is not spatchcocking tho. I just "Obamize" them
(remove the backbone)

I'd do nothing but thighs and legs, but my wife won't eat them. She has to have the white meat.

My wife says she just likes white meat but when it is boned out, she
takes the thighs. I don't use white for any kind of soup type thing
but I do use it in parmesan

My wife makes a 'chicken chili' in the crockpot with chicken breasts. Have to admit it's pretty damn
good.

Never did chicken chili but we make turkey chili. It is the way to get
rid of a few pounds of left over turkey without eating sandwiches for
a week.

I've bought the ground turkey and used it for turkey chili several times. I prefer the beef, but
there really isn't much difference in the taste of the final product.

That is why just about any kind of meat will work.
I wouldn't buy turkey just to make chili but we do cook a turkey
fairly often throughout the year and it is a great way to use the
leftover meat. Same with beef or pork roast.
Chili was originally just the pot that hung on the back of the chuck
wagon and they threw in whatever they came up with. It was always
cooking.

It ****es me off that the stores carry fresh turkey only at Thanksgiving. I'd cook one three or
four times a year if they could be had. Giant will special order one, but the cost is prohibitive.
$45 for a small fresh one is ridiculous. I've got a couple in the freezer from the Christmas sales
though. Have to admit the Traeger pellet grill does a nice job on turkeys.

I've done a couple of turkey breasts on the pellet grill, but not a whole bird. Reportedly, whole birds don't come out so great, as the wings and such can get leathery while the rest gets done.

I like smoking chicken wings with a little seasoning then quick frying them to get them crispy (awesome!) or just doing a whole chicken with minced fresh garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh rosemary and olive oil rub all over. Grind some black pepper over it, put a couple of lemon halves in the cavity, and you're good to go.

Did pig candy yesterday. Gave most of it away at work today. Everyone loves me. :)

I've had pretty good luck with the two turkeys I did on the pellet grill. Both were in the 14-15
pound range so not too big.

Say, that’s an idea. Save a lot of splatters oil that way.

No oil at all. Although he did inject some stuff and put a rub on it. I figure I can get along
without one for a few more years.

I am not sure what else you do with it. I really don't need another
gadget I need to store.

Well, I know what you’re saying. All the K-Tel trinkets people think they need. We don’t. But, I think this might also be good for a ham. Then again. You can buy the ham and/or turkey from the professional cookeries probably for the same as a DIY and don’t have to store it. You’re probably right Greg. Thanks for talking me out of it. Lol!

That's pretty much the way I feel. One of the kids got me an Instant Pot for Christmas. I used it
once. Now it just takes up another cubic foot of cabinet space.

I bought a convection oven for the outdoor kitchen and you can do a
lot of that roasting stuff in there. It is still just an oven tho when
you turn off the fan. It is great for crisping up a roast tho and my
wife says it makes perfect cookies (they all cook at the same rate).

Most of the new RV's are coming with convection ovens. Our in-house range has a convection
capability, I think, but I've not messed with it. Maybe one of these days.

Depends on the oven. We have a Samsung duo door. And trying to cook
cookies in the small cavity, they get overdone on one side. I think you
need a bigger volume to spread out the heat.
