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 ....

Too redneck for me. We prefer baked, in the oven, with the perfume of the
baking bird filling the house.


Yes...oven cooked is the only way we'd even consider cooking our turkey.
Who comes up with these whacko ideas anyway?

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"?

No way, a bag? Talk about screwing up a really good bird, put in a bag.
