If you need help on how to oven cook a turkey, let me know. ;-)
If you put that bird in an oven bag it would have cooked in about 3
hours and you wouldn't have lost a drop of the moisture.
Put the drippings in a big gravy separator to split out the grease and
you have the makings for great gravy.
Btw it costs about 50 cents an hour to run an electric oven, assuming
about a 60% duty cycle
My God, some of you folks are absolutely anal about (of all things) cooking
a turkey.

I was half thinking of trying to cook a deep fried turkey this year,
just for something different.
Until I came upon this, that is ....

Sort of confirms that Allstate commercial talking about a dozen or so
houses burning down on holidays due to deep frying turkeys.
I agree with Harry and oven roast ours. Nothing finer than the smell
of turkey cooking in the oven all day.
Household cooking takes up very little electricity. While no device is
foolproof, a modern electric oven on "bake" is pretty close to it. The
question for me remains, though...why would anyone want to take a
relatively healthy food item, such as turkey, and cook in a way that
adds what it doesn't have a lot of naturally, fat and cholesterol.
If done correctly and at the correct temp. you'll hardly notice an
increase in fat and cholesterol. Turkey has a fair percentage of fat
as is, the fat goes to the bottom of the pan, and you baste with it,
what's the difference?
We had a "smoked" turkey one year. It tasted more like ham than turkey,
if memory serves. I like roast turkey, and I expect it to taste like
roast turkey, not oil-soaked turkey or ham turkey.- Hide quoted text -

If it tasted like ham, you did a horrible job smoking it.
A. I don't "baste" with pan drippings.
B. I didn't smoke the ham.

How do you get the natural occuring fat out of the turkey, Mr. Health?
And why are you overweight?
Why is it that if *you* decide you don't like something, then it's
instantly a terrible thing, no one should do it, it's awful, it's
stupid, and on and on? Let's take boats for instance. You've stated
here many times in many threads over the years that went on for ever
about some mightly large cruising boats that you've claimed to own.
Now you state that you don't care anything about boating, just getting
to where the fish are, correct? Which is it?
I don't give a tinker's dam if you or anyone else here eats unhealthy.
If you want to sit around with a can of flavored Crisco and a spoon, go
for it.

Why so defensive, Harry?
I really want to know how you make your turkey healthy. How do you get
the fat out of it?
I've never owned any "cruising" boats, per se, if by that you mean a
large, live-aboard, low powered boat used for extensive travel. I've
owned a few sailboats, including two that could be used for "real
cruising," but I never used them for that. Day cruising or perhaps a
short overnight, maybe, but not much longer than that.

What about your lobster boat? Was that just to get to the fishing
hole?
Your statement about my feelings regarding boating are absurd. In the
Chesapeake Bay, just getting to where the fish are involves some
informal "cruising," albeit at a higher than typical cruising speed, and
we do engage in boating activities that do not involve fishing.- Hide quoted text -

Are you saying that you didn't say here in rec.boats that you only
boat to get to the fish?
Was the Hatt and lobster boat for that purpose?

Hey...do yourself a favor...play your games with your usual crowd, eh?- Hide quoted text -

Just the response I suspected!

I'd love to have a real answer to my question posed to him, but you
know how his brain works......or doesn't....

Donnie,

You are a damn lemming. Read your posts and think very hard before you
press "send". Your predictable "responses" to Harry's posts are
pathetic and not funny to anyone but you.

Since you guys are fighting so nice, I will step in here. I saw an
A**state insurance commercial today and they refered to fried turkeys
burning down houses. The interesting part was the part where the
narator said "Thousands fried turkeys last year... and 15 of them
managed to burn down their houses". Not the horrific numbers the
detractors prepared me for;)

Probably as many or more killed themselves using the oven for home heating.

Years and years ago, in Oakland, CA a guy decided to commit suicide via the
gas oven. Turned on the gas with no pilot light and went to bed. Did not
die, and when got up in the morning, decided it was cold and he need to
light the oven to warm up. Leveled the house and blew out all the windows
on the Ford dealership across the street. No one hurt at the dealership and
standing in the middle of the leveled house was the guy, still with match in
hand. My buddy worked at the dealership and the reason the windows failed
to injure anybody as it was break time and they were all by a coffee
machine.

You never could follow along properly, Donnie. Get your son to help
you. He's got nothing better to do with his time.
