To all of you who celebrate:
Enjoy and don’t argue with that one uncle 
Here is our bird from two weeks ago (old tradition with friends to have a get-together with a turkey, not exactly on the US Thanksgiving day, but a weekend close by):
; the rest was consumed as a pre-dinner snack)
Off to a good start!!
happy Thanksgiving to all my you be blessed with massive dose of tryptophan.
That looks delicious… nice bark.
Have you ever spatchcock cooked a bird? I have done chicken but not yet a turkey.
Best to you and yours on this Thanksgiving Day
oh yeah! best way to cook a turkey in my hungry opinion, I dry brine the turkeys for 4 days. The skin is so crispy it’s like potato chips.
We cooked 3 turkey this year, one for me, one for the wife and one for the kids, JK. 
2 are for our friends. I also honey glazed some Ham.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 
I have not, but this is mentioned pretty much every time, along with the other option, i.e., deep-frying the bird in peanut butter
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have an electric turkey fryer… a lot safer than the propane type and can use it in my garage. I would have the “boys” club down there: beer, whiskey, farts, etc… while the womenfolk do the rest upstairs on Thanksgiving.
I like deep frying, but peanut oil is not cheap. Need to do it more often to make it worthwhile.
(On edit: I meant to type “darts” in my response above… but would be apropos to leave it in… as the saying goes: if the foo shits.)
I think you were very right with your first statement describing the garage festivities. After all, darts are optional.
48 hour brine, a 9 hour smoke yesterday then a few minutes in the oven to warm it up today. Still juicy as can be.
I thought you were just being very honest. Fair play 
It was honest, subliminally, but honest nonetheless… LOL.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
mom and dad had to bail out on the extended family dinner at my aunt’s house because my dad’s back was flaring up. so me and my sister and our families ordered a heat and serve Thanksgiving dinner from a local Italian restaurant and drove out to eat dinner with them. and you know what? it was fine, it was nice. happy txgiving BB fam 
My parents are retired and just moved out to the western slope (of Colorado) last month. Our kids are grown and live on either coast, so my wife and I just did Costco sides and a ham tonight. No stress, next to no dishes. Was also nice.
Gonna check the super for turkey legs on the way home.
Very chill Thanksgiving Day for us. Just my wife/kids and my son’s girlfriend. Smoked a turkey breast (36 hour wet brine, seasoned with butt rub, smoked in my old trusty weber kettle, indirect heat, about 300 grill temp, 2 hours to get to 163). My wife made cornbread dressing, bacon wrapped green beans, mashed potatoes, and a chocolate fudge pie. Opened a good bottle of wine, played some board games with the kids after dinner. Pretty great day all around. I hope everybody here had a great Thanksgiving Day. That includes everyone not in the US who just had a regular week and didn’t get to eat themselves into oblivion.
