And we always do the family dinner today, then a week later have our "friends thanksgiving" where all our friends and their families come over and we have a potluck type dinner. Cajun fry a couple turkeys and do a spiral cut ham then just let everyone bring most everything else. We had over 50 last year and are adding at least a couple babies this year.

I love this time of year.

There's a member's only club in my office building that would allow us peons to go to the back entrance (not lying) and do something they called "Chef To Go." It used to be a really sweet deal - pick from their entree list for the CTG items, pick it up 10 minutes later, and you'd get a big entree, two sides, a cookie, and a tea or lemonade, and it was $8. And it was actually quite good.

Every Thursday was Thanksgiving day, and one of their selections was roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, and cranberry sauce, then you could add potatoes or rice. I did that at least twice a month.

brine it, inject out with Cajun butter, then pull the skin away from the breast and pack some slap ya momma in there wirh seasoned salt. Stretch the skin back over it and fry.


Bad ass

It was a toss up between prime rib and ribeye.

Cant go wrong either way

What sides you throwing in with that ribeye?

I have an acquaintance who did this with turkey. I may have to try it sometime. Watching Jacques Pepin work is hypnotic.

So....full.....need...nap

Damn that's looking good, FMB.

Ribeyes don't sound bad at all.

I forgot to take a picture, but the wife snagged one before we dug in. I was worried that I over cooked it in the smoker, but it turned out great. Very juicy, but that's probably because I injected it with a full jar of Cajun butter.

You ever sous vide a turkey? I did last year. Very moist and flavorful.

Skin was done a bit weirdly. I put it between two large baking sheets and weighted the top one down. Put in an oven at 350 for about 30 minutes and served on the side. But even the breast was moist.

Never turkey, but I do chicken sous vide all the time. It's excellent!

Both my toddlers are asleep. I already fell asleep once and took a big deuce.

I did that once, send your knives to Ambrose before attempting...

I use one of these. I just happened to be using it to trim some beef...

I am looking to see if a deboned 12lb bird will fit in my unit... I may have to do a breast
